For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

I''m in the process of documenting templates right now, and I figured I should see what happens when you use them with arrays: $ cat ~/bin/test.pp $values = [this, is, an, array, of, values] $content = template("/tmp/templates/testing.erb") file { "/tmp/temtest": content => $content } $ cat /tmp/templates/testing.erb <% values.each do |val| %> I got

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

Hi, I just want to know what the state of the Debian packages is? I''ve downloaded (and is currently testing with) the packages from http:// reductivelabs.com/downloads/packages/Debian/ They seem to miss some important stuff such as init scripts and puppetrun, and they hasn''t all the dependencies defined (eg. ruby). From the info part of the packages I can''t see

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

Hi all, I need to write an aptitude provider for Debian. How should it differ from apt? Can I just s/apt/aptitude/g, or do I need to do something else? Any other weird behaviours I should look for or whatever? I''ll make it a subclass of apt (and since Deb seems to specify aptitude as the default now, maybe apt should subclass aptitude), so any dpkg answerfile work should work on

Hi, Anyone think this is a good idea? I have found that there are some exec tasks that I am making that just shell out to ruby to do a one / two line script in the exec line, was thinking it would be nice to have an option for exec to tell it to just eval ruby code passed to it, e.g. exec { ''eval: code to evaluate'':, ... } I know Lane wants users to turn execs into new

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! How do you monitor when the last puppet transaction was successful on a node?

Hey All, Id like to submit two init scripts for debian for puppetd and puppetmasterd, Which is the best to do this? Cheers B _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com https://mail.madstop.com/mailman/listinfo/puppet-users

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

Anyone ever migrated the puppetca to a different host? What are the steps that are involved?

And someone goes and redesigns the look and operation of the Trac. Quite noice, but a couple of comments: * The main toolbar ("Wiki", "Documentation", "Timeline") ends up under the puppet logo on the left hand side, which is a pest. * I can''t click on any link, text box, or button in the main part of the page. All of the navigation links work fine, and I

Is there a repository of Facter plugins that people have made? I''m working on a few that i wouldn''t mind sharing when complete.

Since I had my type development epiphany a couple of days ago, I''ve decided to write down my understanding of developing simple types, at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PracticalTypes. I''d appreciate comments from people who already know how to develop types as to correctness, and also comments from people who are new to type development about whether it''s a

Hello... I am looking to replace my current config file management solution with puppet. I looked at both cfengine and puppet and neither seem to have a "diff" option. as in: configfile { "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf": source => "/httpd/httpd.conf" } will install a httpd.conf file. What I would like is to be able to see a unified diff of the

There''s definitely enough complexity in some of the modules out there to warrant solid test coverage, especially if people start extending a module to support more distributions and OSes, while trying to keep the existing support working. That''s even before you start thinking about functions, facts, and native types. They''re *really* in need of solid testing, being all

... or better, what is intended to be? I''ve seen references to PuppetShow in IRC, mailing lists and documentation, but still have no clear idea of what it is. Is it just a reporting tool? Will you be able to create manifests or configure nodes from it? Thanks, best regards Jose _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list Puppet-users@madstop.com

Hi, My environment is composed of ~250 workstations hitting a single puppetmaster server, which has been working fairly well up until now. The most recent change has been a migration of a lot of remote file copy objects which were previously handled with cfengine. client side puppetd calls to the puppetmaster.getconfig method are taking unreasonably long, on the order of 2-3 minutes. It

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.
