Hi! I just installed iClassify without a problem, it is running and accessable but I get a rather strange error when trying to run the icagent commands: $ ./bin/icagent -s http://puppet02:3000 -d icagent/ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2094:in `error!'': 500 "Internal Server Error " (Net::HTTPFatalError) from ./bin/../lib/iclassify/client.rb:83:in `run_request''

Hi all, It looks like I''ll be in Seattle on Sunday, September 16th through Tuesday the 18th, and I''d like to have Puppet Meetup either Sunday or Monday night. On Adam''s recommendation, I''ll be staying at the Queen Anne Inn, so something near there would be best. Hopefully Adam or Blake can do the actual organization. :) Any takers? -- What is

Hi, Is it possible to have an array as the output of a custom fact? And then to pass it into a template in Puppet? I currently have a fact that looks like this: Facter.add("exports") do setcode do case Facter.hostname when (/thishost/i): [ "/local", "/local2" ] end end end & a template like this: <%

I''m sure everyone has read and committed the Puppet Best Practice to memory by now (I joke). One of the things I''ve written in there deals with trailing commas, which I adopted from the way I used to do multiline in Perl, but I''ve noticed that most people don''t tend to do that in Puppet. Should I revise this or should we all start using the trailing commas?

Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

Hi all, I''m in the throes of the REST conversion and I''m wondering: How important is it to retain backward compatibility? The language will clearly be consistent between the two, but it looks like it''s going to be a heckuva lot more complicated to keep compatibility for all network services (as in, for each of them, I''ll have to write a shell that

I am confused about all the database talk on the list lately. I''ve been playing with Puppet for the last 6 months and have never set up a DB for it to use. What are you guys using the DB for? My first though (really the only thing I could find) was for storing node configurations. But I''m storing them in the file system and it seem to work just fine. What are the advantages

Does any one know or whether have someone done custom reports in puppet. Which will show the status of the servers, disk, cpu, load, pkg list, configs/files edited via puppet, how often a config file is updated, etc.. -- Deepak _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

Let''s say I have two different geographic sites. They are pretty much identical ie. each site has a machine called web1 which is a web server, etc. Except there are couple site-specific settings ie. outgoing DNS servers are different, SSL certs are different etc. On the puppetmaster I can put in a file called e.g. /etc/sideid which would uniquely identify a site ie. siteX or siteY.

Does any one have a recipe for getting facter facts from ldap?

I had some questions come up today during the Puppet demo here: 1. Is there any way to apply different intervals to different classes? For example, we might want a security baseline manifest to run once a month, package installation files once/day, etc. Since we''re a brokerage, we also don''t want ANY system changes during trading hours. I guess we could cron killing the

I''m having a heck of a time trying to fix #1178, which is a problem related to inconsistent node names, and it all stems from the ''node_name'' setting. In the default setup, your certificate gets created with your host''s fully qualified node name, and Puppet uses the value from the certificate for everything. In addition, there''s a setting,

Hi, I''m running multiple vservers and have some aspects managed via puppet. I noticed that puppetd consumes from 20 to 60 mb RAM and the longer the process runs, the more RAM it takes. It looks like 60MB is the top what I measured. Having a couple of vservers (11 in my case) this can already take up to 500MB just for puppet! I''m wondering if there''s any downside in

I''m new to the group, so apologies in advance if I repeat a question that''s already been asked and answered. First of all, I''m very happy to see an open-source alternative to commercial configuration automation tools. My question is this: I manage a collection of tools with web-based administration. They have no external config files, and store their config data in the

Hi I have created a module for djbdns [1], which will generate the data file (dns entries) from defines in puppet classes. This is all fine and working. :) However I autogenerated after a few tests the classes for the domains from the current source of our domains. Which are about 50 classes each calling around 3 defines, which will be concatenated_file calls (from davids common module), which

I have a patch for Capistrano 1.1 - how do I submit it? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I create a task within capistrano.rb I can call it using rake. When I create a task and put it in deploy.rb I can call it. Neither with or without the remote: namespace. Anyone have any insight into why it does not work? John Kopanas

Hello fellow railers, I''m new to the whole RoR thing and I have finished installing and setting everything up on my OSX G4 Powerbook.
