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, I was looking for a solution to change the value of a variable using include (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ CommonMisconceptions), and found an interesting solution on the kinial SPEC (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/KinialSpec). But I can''t find more about this project ? iClassify derives from this spec, but the interesting part (inheritance) is not supported.

Is there an easy way to list which puppet daemons a puppetmaster controls? ... and from that, is there a way of getting the puppetmaster to store a copy of their compiled configuration somewhere? Thanks, mike

Hi all, I''ve noticed, that once using storeconfig, if the db (in my case mysql) is down than puppet wont start... is there a real reason for making puppet depend on the db?

G''day. I am wondering what the current best practice for building a single file out of distributed fragments is with puppet. Specifically, my problem: 1. Install munin-node on arbitrary machines. 2. Install ''munin.conf'' as a single file on one machine, containing a configuration stanza for every machine that munin-node is installed on. The current best practice

Hello everyone, A long time ago, I posted the Stanford Best Practices and I''ve gone through and updated it today. I''d like to have people go through it and see if we can strip out some Stanford specific stuff and tag this as an official best practice. I think an official best practice will be important as more and more people consider making shareable modules, etc (mostly

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.

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 all, This just keeps coming up, again and again, so I decided to take a few hours and break everyone''s configuration. Oh, wait, just kidding. :) Really, I''ve completely rewritten external node support. Here''s the changelog entry: Only ONE node source can be used -- you can use LDAP, code, or an external node program, but not more than one.

Hi I''m having the following problem and tried already several workarounds, as well benp- tried to help me on irc. I copied the ntp modul from DavidS repo and adapted it in the Service part to run as well under openbsd. Which was just adding some binary if openbsd is the operatingsystem. However then I wanted to run it as well on a gentoo system (on centos, debian and openbsd it was

I just started digging into puppet and it looks like puppet is using a pull model. You have a master server and clients talk to it to get config info. Is anyone out there using a push model? If not, why not? Are there security reasons you would use one over the other? It seems that cfengine also uses a push model, so I wondered if this is a "standard" or if there are specific

I''m trying to use a "case defined" statement to configure Munin to automatically create plugin links for packages that are defined by Puppet but the behaviour seems to be unpredictable. I have a similar setup for Samba which works, but the Postfix one doesn''t and I can''t see any difference between them. Can some explain to me how "case

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.

I''ve been thinking about how to make Puppet a killer app, and I think there is one specific thing that could be done to help make that happen: People using Puppet now to consistently state what they *really* wish Puppet could do for them -- the recent thread around Puppet on Windows is in that vein, but it''s not specific enough. For example, I''d like to know what

Hi, I''m sorry if that''s a FAQ, I also know exported resources are a still experimental. So my problem might well be a design limitation of how exported resources are working. My issue: I''m trying to export a file resource that is created by an exec block. The file is exported fine and collected fine but it is always empty on the other host. The puppet snippet: class

Hi all, I''ve just implemented a [crude] manifest to apply a set authorized_keys file to the root account of a puppet client. class rootssh_test { file { "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys": owner => root, group => root, mode => 0600, content => template("rootssh_test") } } The template has two ssh id_rsa lines in. When the client applies

Hi all, we activated puppet mail reports but we are receiving a lot of mails when yum fails to update the repos, like this one: (err): Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not get latest version: Execution of ''/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 list available munin-node'' returned 1: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: kbs-CentOS-Extras failure:

Hi all, I''m sure you''re all wondering what the heck is going on with development and why there are so many open tickets. Hopefully this email will answer those questions for you. REST Development ====================== First, I''ve found the REST work to be significantly more complicated than I''d feared. The plumbing is nearly all done and the majority

hello,all I write a function. this function will write the client fqdn to a file. But this function only run one time when the puppetmaster recompile the configuration. How can let this function run every time when a client connect to the puppetmaster ? please help me. -- Huang Mingyou

Hello, I recently started deploying puppet on our server farm. It works wonderfully with RHEL4, Gentoo and Debian. I''m looking for a way to determine the state of all nodes. Say for example that I change a file on the puppetmaster which affects 200 nodes. Then I go to lunch. When I get back, I''d like to know which nodes have been updated and which have not. I asked this in
