Override to unspecify
In the normal override method, you can change the value of a parameter, but
can you unset a parameter?
file { "/etc/somefile":
mode => 644,
owner => "dude"
}
File ["/etc/somefile"] { mode => unset } ??

Puppet 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

rrdgraphs?
Anyone using the rrdgraph report on the puppetmaster on Debian stable? I''m
trying to get this working and not getting far. I even took rrdtool and
librrd0-dev from backports and I still get the same problem. It seems that
the rrdfiles are being somewhat created, but nevertheless, the puppetmaster
isn''t happy and keeps spewing:

new puppet providers
I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet
providers to the puppet clients?
I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to
implement a task that the master has given it.
Am I way off here?

How to validate puppet manifests without actually executing puppet?
Hi,
I want to validate my puppet manifests before I check them into source
control. I just want to make sure that the manifest syntaxes are legal, not
to do any more complex testing - the checkin may be on my laptop and not on
the system that the manifests may be intended to run on.
Ideally I''d be able to do this from ruby code - and I did try to instantiate
some classes and override

Questions about modules and namespaces
Hello
>From my understanding, modules are not autosearched. So, if I have:
include ssh
... then puppet will look for a module names ssh and class named ssh
defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp
Moreover, if I have:
include ssh::global
... then Puppet will for class global defined in /modules/ssh/init.pp or
/modules/ssh/global.ss.
Is that correct? Or am I leaving out some imports

Monitoring puppet
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi *!
How do you monitor when the last puppet transaction was successful on a node?
I''m searching for something easy like a timestamp, so I can put a nagios watch
on this.

Hello community,
We are running puppetmaster 0.22.3 with 45 servers attached and we are

We were seeing a lot of this with 0.22.1 as well. Interestingly, during

Solid How-To
I have been all over the wiki pages for puppet and I have noticed that all
the configuration examples seem vague.
Does anyone know of a good solid resource for start to finish configuration
of puppetmaster and puppet (server and client)?
A step by step guide would be great.

Best practice, dev/test/staging/production environments
I like the Stanford Best Practices guide for puppet. One thing I didn''t
see it address was handling of separate environments, for example Dev,
Test, Staging, Production.
My thoughts on this so far, are:
brainstorm #1) Handle environment differences with metadata:
node devProductName01 {
$env = "dev"
include ProductName-webserver
}
node testProductName01 {

Specify and respecify
Hello Puppet users,
I had talked with Luke about this scenario and was wondering how others
would/are handling something like this.
Imagine a scenario where all servers will have a specific postfix
configuration except for a server or two or three. So, you want to define
a file "/etc/postfix/main.cf" and specify the source from your dist tree.
But for those exceptional servers,

End of file and other errors: solution
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.

Interesting interaction between source and ensure in file definition in function...
Given the following:
file { "/my/file":
source => "puppet://server/path/to/some/file",
ensure => absent
}
Puppet will copy /my/file to the host.
What I was hoping was that ensure => absent would trump a source file.
However, if we change the above slightly like this:
file { "/my/file":
source =>
