similar to: virtual resources in 0.23.2, do they work?

Hello all, what exactly is the "design decision" that is needed here? We currently have the problem that 0.23.2-3 (debian package) does not work when it comes to collecting exported resources. The resources are saved in the database, so picking them up is the problem (db is Mysql5.x). This is a major problem for us, since we are using this a lot for our monitoring services. I

Hi there, I have a strange problem with the exported ressources in the munin module I wrote. See: http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-June/003179.html For some reason it stopped working. On the munin::host I get the error that: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource File[munin_def_XY_4949] cannot override local resource The munin::host is also a

Hello all. Probably this question has already been posed in the context of another software, but I am unable to find it. I would like to implement a module which should manage munin-clients as well as the munin-server. Here is what I am thinking about implementing: - There are two classes: munin::client and munin::server - munin::clients'' configuration will be managed automatically.

hi,guys I''m test the resources export and collect , OS is Debian etch and sarge, puppet server and client version all of the 0.23.2 ; the db is MySQL-4.1 My test code is like this. node ''b'' { @@file {"/tmp/a": ensure => present ,content => "test"; } } node ''a'' { File <<||>> } I run puppetd on

I''m trying to get two hosts exchange their ssh host keys using virtual exported resources. What happens is that one host gets both keys installed without problems, while the other one fails with the following error message: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource Sshkey[front.irb.lo] cannot override local resource I found some reference to this in ticket #731, but

Hello dear list. First of all thanks to all the developers for the great work on puppet. After using it for a while, there is not better tool to manage a network! I have a problem with the $processor fact, which seems to be either not there or ignored at all. I try to implement package deployment for the Macs (Intel vs. PowerPC) as described here:

Hey all, I want to write a NFS module. Before I start, I thought I''d ask: Does someone already have such a module? May that person share it? What I want to do (have) is: - configure (different) exports on many NFS-Servers - configure NFS-Clients to mount some or all of those. Thanks, udo.

Hey all, i have attached a module which installs SSL-Root-certificates in Debian and Darwin. One thing is left to do for darwin: check whether the certificate is installed already. Until I have figured out how to do this, The test is rather simple. There is a class called dfncertificates defined in this module which gives you a hint how the module is used. Have fun, comments are welcome. udo.

Hello everybody, I have updated the puppetmaster from 0.22.4 to 0.23.0 (and today to 0.23.2). Although ''dbmigrate=true'' is turned on AND the puppetmaster is saying it migrates the databse at startup, this does not happen. When it should store configs, I get the error: Could not store configs: Mysql::Error: #42S02Table ''database.resource_tags''

Hello all, I have set up a public svn repository with some facts that we have written over time: https://svn.ikw.uni-osnabrueck.de/dav/ikwadmin/public/puppet/facts/ (yes, it is svn). Now, I was wondering where to document this on the puppet-wiki (or should it rather be the facter-wiki) http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/tags/facter%2Crecipe does not give any clear hint on this. Maybe I

Hey all, it seems that the Ticket section of Puppet''s homepage does not work. Searching and Listing of Tickets works fine, showing an individual Ticket shows stack-traces. What is wrong there? Thanks, udo.

Hello everybody. I have a question about removing exported resources. How is this done? Does it happen automagically? If I do: @@file{"/tmp/bla": content => "blahs content", ensure => present, } and thus export "/tmp/bla" to another host does it vanish by itself as soon as I remove the definition, or would I need to state something like:

Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a

hi all, we maintain about 30 puppet managed nodes. the version of the clients is 0.23.0 and 0.23.1. the master is 0.23.0. today we installed a new CentOS 5 node with David Lutterkort''s puppet 0.23.2 rpm. this host is a reinstall of an old FC4 on new hardware. we are getting this error on 0.23.2, never happened before: | Could not retrieve configuration: | Failed to parse template

Hello there, I have come to a situation where I would like to mix 2 approaches to create the contents of a file. Here is what I have: a module ''sudo'' which manages a hosts /etc/sudoers file: init.pp: class sudo { case $operatingsystem { Debian: { package { "sudo": } } } file { "/etc/sudoers": mode => 440, content =>

Hi gang, Is it possible to test if a particular resource has already been defined? I''d like to do something like this: if !Host["$fqdn"] { host {"$fqdn": ip => "$ipaddress_eth0" } } Essentially, test to see if there is no Host resource defined for the current server and if not, add a host entry for itself using the IP address of eth0. Possible?

Hi all, I just stumbled over a huge rails.log in /var/log/puppet on the puppetmaster. It is full of DB statments which seems to point to the fact that puppetmaster''s rails environment is set to development. No problem, I thought, set the system''s RAILS_ENV to production make it available to the master daemon and restart it. Unfortunately, this does not work. I searched

Hi all Luke and I have been discussing the wiki and how its future development might pan out. As a result I thought I''d canvas people for feedback. Currently the wiki''s layout and structure is fairly ad hoc and it''s a mix of wiki mark-up and REStructured Text (RST). We''d like to make it more "manual" like or at least move a significant portion of

Just wondering if anyone is using a backend database other than sqlite, and if so, how easy/hard it was to configure. I''m constantly receiving "SQLite3::BusyException: database is locked..." which I presume is due to sqlite''s relatively coarse locking method.

Hi there, just to be sure: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions says that "The file name is derived from the name of the function that Puppet is trying to run." Is this still true? I ask because I currently write a set of math functions (min,max, plus, minus and so). My first try was to create a math.rb, where I had: module Puppet::Parser::Functions
