Noop functionality
I''m thinking about how to set up the processes for Production puppet runs now. Being ultra-conservative here, we''d like to see what would happen before pressing the red button. I can run in noop mode, and everything is evaluated but nothing is done. A YAML report magically appears on the Puppetmaster which my script parses and spits out something the management can read

Command line vs config file override for configuration params
Hi all I''m working on my modular recursive Makefile & svn-backed home for my Puppet manifests, custom functions, types, etc. So I''m trying to put together individual modules, test targets and so on. I have noticed that the $libdir (and probably the other configuration options too) sources from puppet.conf are not overridden by specifying --libdir=blah on the commmand line

Exception handling in custom facts
Hi. I''d like to use exception handling in my custom facts. For example, in plain Ruby: begin buildno = '''' bcrelease = open("/etc/BCrelease") while (line = bcrelease.gets) line = line.chomp buildno = $1 if line =~ /^Build:\s+(\d+)/ end bcrelease.close print "#{buildno}\n" rescue print "No

"Have I included class X" function?
Anyone know if it would be straightforward to extract this information from Puppet, probably in a custom function: The classes included as a result of the client''s parsed configuration - or - Am I in class X as a result of my parsed configuration? I''m thinking it would result in a more elegant manifest if classes X and Y behaved differently if they were both included compared

Creating a manifests ''release'' under SVN; trouble with SVN headers
Dear all I''ve gotten into the habit of including SVN headers in my templates, etc so it is easy to see where the file installed into /etc/puppet/ came from. Furthermore, we use svn cp to create release branches. Therefore, you''ll see something like this: # $Id: dumpadm.conf 1239 2007-10-23 16:04:06Z sa_dewha $ # $URL:

Managing bigger scripts
Hello, I''m scratching my head as to the best way to plug in a script to do some client configuration. The script is about 40 lines long (full of basic instructions to fiddle with VCS in fact). Lots of execs would seems cumbersome. My thoughts are to simply install this to the client (via the fileserver) and exec out to it. Does this seem sensible? And if so, be aware of things like

Noop and "dangerous" classes
Hello all, I''m thinking about a configuration class that, amongst other things execs out to a ''dangerous'' configuration script. I''d like to make this a noop by default, so the operator has to try a bit harder to invoke it. So I thought about doing something like: class blah { exec { danger: noop => true, tag => hitme, command

Testing / Coding methodologies?
I''ve been having great "fun" testing the new (Puppetised) build end-to-end for several days now. The majority of the fun has been coming from vendor packages (no names mentioned), typically with conflicting permissions on files, or perhaps different home directories, UIDs for the app users so it matters in which order you do things in. My current methodology is to go through

Global Variables?
What is the view of having / not having global variables in Puppet? Facter variables are global in the sense they are defined in every scope (whereas ''normal'' variables are only available within the scope they are defined in). I could simply add a custom fact for my DoesTheServerNeedASerialConsole flag to Facter, but I''m not 100% sure I should be having the client

Results from testing our manifests, functions and types against HEAD
Hi Luke and other people working on 0.24. I hope this is constructive. So, I have our configuration working against a checkout from git as of last night. Subject to (sorry, here''s the big but :) * external_nodes script is not being called (#951) * Custom types aren''t working unless I drop them into $rubysitedir/puppet/{type,provider}.

Suddenly can''t access the puppetmaster anymore
Hi, I have a number of puppets talking to 1 puppetmaster. Everything was working fine until suddenly this week the puppets are revolting. Whenever I try to run ''puppetd -v'' I see a lot of messages like: Certificates were not trusted: hostname was not match I''m sure I did not make any changes to DNS lately and I didn''t upgrade puppet on any of the machines

Possible Problems with the Sybase product PowerBuilder
Good morning, I have a problem and I am unsure whether it's anything to do with Samba. We use Samba on HP-Unix in conjunction with a product from rational called clearcase. Occasionally from getting to our NT Desktops to our Unix environment Powerbuilder Files( which are binary files) get reduced down to 0 size, this gets saved and we end up losing our work. I am not expecting you to solve

Common routines for custom functions
Hello I want to share some common subroutines between my custom functions. Given the way Puppet loads the .rb files in $plugindest/puppet/parser/functions, does anyone know how should I lay this out? I tried creating a module myutilities def self.blah() ... end end (NOT within the newfunction() call) in one of the (top-level) functions'' .rb file. However, calling

Warning for Fedora Core users
Fedora Core 7 has just updated their Ruby package (was 1.8.6.36-3.fc7, is now 1.8.6.110-3.fc7), and the upgrade broke my Puppet installation, and there was a similar report from someone else. Communications between the puppetmasterd and the puppetd running on the same host broke down with the message: Could not retrieve configuration: Certificates were not trusted: hostname not match with

Reusing definitions - need to pass variable in the title
I recently tidied up a class/definition combo that sets /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. This failed: define issuefile($path) { file { issue: owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, content => template("issue_conf") } } class issue { issuefile { "issue": path => "/etc/issue" } } class
