Not sure if this is another issue cropping up with 0.24.1 but I''m getting the following: info: Loading fact raid /etc/puppet/facts/location.rb:5: private method `split'' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter.rb:510:in `call'' from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter.rb:510:in `value'' from

I''m using the external_nodes functionality to read in a flat file of a node''s configuration. Currently said file is a straight yaml file (just to keep things simple). The place I''m currently stuck is in doing some more advance node configurations and placing that data in the yaml file. For example: node ''foo'' { $var1 =

I have the following define... define puppet::module_dir { if $name { include puppet file { "${puppetdir}/modules/${name}": ensure => directory, mode => 0755, purge => true, recurse => true, } } } I call it like so: puppet::module_dir { "main" } puppet::module_dir

I turned on reporting the other day and I''m seeing alot of these when puppet runs. Especially during times when nothing is going on (middle of the night etc) Tue Dec 11 12:34:48 -0500 2007 //base/puppet/puppet::client/Service[puppet]/ensure (notice): ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running'' It''s also quite odd that puppet when it runs it thinks

I have a cluster of 20 or so machines. On many of the nodes, the puppetd process take up a ton of resident memory (> 400MB RES in top, > 500GB VIRT in top) after running for a while (> 1 week). The only thread I found on this was titled "memory leak?" and last updated on 06-Dec-2007. The question on that tread was whether or not the memory was buffered memory. I

I''m working with a pretty simple config at the moment to track down some issues I''m seeing with custom facts and plugins. I have factsync = true (default locations) and I have a simple fact in /var/lib/puppet/facts/ (actually it''s David''s netmask plugin) my pp file I''m testing with contains only: notice "netmask: ${netmask}" puppet -v

so here I am trying to track down why one of my execs isn''t working properly and I notice in the wiki[1]the option on_failure for logoutput. Turns out it does''t work (in 0.23.0) err: Parameter logoutput failed: Invalid ''logoutput'' value "on_failure". Valid values are true, false, debug, info, notice, warning, err, alert, emerg, crit. err: Could not

I''m seeing these in my logs on my puppetmaster: puppetmasterd[4111]: Could not store configs: SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: DELETE FROM fact_values WHERE "id" = 8 currently this is 0.24.0 relect from some previously collected resource that wasn''t cleaned up? upgrade issue? nothing to worry about? that''s the only

Hi I have installed the puppet master daemon and a puppet client but the puppet client is not periodically reloading the manifest, even though the client connects successfully and applies the manifest when started up the first time. My simple test manifest looks as follows: node default { file {"/home/ubuntuvm1/test.txt": mode => 777 } } Is it possible to set the

I use a simple yaml file and and an external nodes script to express each of my nodes. What I''m trying to do is make sure that all individual data is expressed at the node level and not have anything in classes or modules that isn''t generic and shared. the example below works really well but I can''t express it via my external nodes, I have to bury it in a class (or

so I have this sudo module that I''ve been working on: class auth::sudo { package { sudo: ensure => installed } file { sudo_config: name => "/tmp/sudoers", owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 0440, notify => Exec["sudoers-syntax"], source => [

I was playing around with the generate() function and was wondering if anyone was making us of it. The current way I''m attempting to use it is to determine what the homedir of a given user is. I have: --- $homedir = generate("/bin/sh", "-c", "grep ^${name} /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f6") --- which returns what I expect it to return except that it preserves the

So I have the following: define nagios::service ( $nagios_template = ''service-template'', $host_name = $fqdn, $service_groups = '''', $contact_groups = $default_contact_group, $max_check_attempts = 3, $dependency = false, $dependent_host = $fqdn, $dependent_service = '''', $check_command = '''' ) {

Hi all, I attempted to add an EL5.1 client to our puppet server (EL5), and after signing the client cert, got the error "Certificates were not trusted: hostname not match with the server certificate" I found the mailing list discussion and the relevant page: http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/RubySSL-2007-006 As far as I can tell, my puppermaster''s cert CN matches

I don''t manage any macosx machines but I do run puppet standalone to check syntax etc. I''ve been getting the following error: Could not autoload "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/ast/resourceoverride.rb": superclass mismatch for class ResourceOverride specifically small test pp files still work, though I''ve found when I use parseonly it

So before I start I should be upfront and disclose that I''m using external_nodes, so in keeping with that I''m trying as hard as possible to keep all the actually ''specific'' data in the node config files (currently just yaml)and have nothing specific in modules especially. So I have this definition: (credit goes to DavidS for the inspiration) define git::repo (

I''m testing the new environments feature in 0.24.1. http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments But I am having a problem getting it to recognise the modulepath setting within the environment. I''m wondering if this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong For this example, the environments are called "prod" and "test". On the

i''m having trouble with a file resource with 0.24.1. the manifest is very simple: file { "/": ensure => directory, owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 755 } when i run puppetd, i get the attached stack trace. removing this resource enables puppetd to complete its run successfully. any ideas? didn''t have this

Here''s the problem I''m trying to solve. I use apache, for lots of things, some of those things are configured from a performance standpoint differently. In less vague terms I need to be able to change the MaxClients setting to different things based on the different purposes apache serves. (say proxy vs. app) Under previous CMS/templating engines I would have a httpd.conf that
