similar to: Custom functions and facts

I have been working on adding some predicate functions to puppetlabs-stdlib that test things based on ''interfaces'' and related facts. The functions themselves seem to work fine in my manifest-based smoketests, but I am running into trouble that may or may not be due to my ignorance about rspec or Facter. Something needs to be done to initialize Facter because

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

Hi, I want some config depending on memorysize. What I tried was if ($memorysize >= 256 * 1024*1024) { ... } But this fails because $memorysize is a string (and contains a "G") and can''t be compared to an int. Are all facts strings? How do I work with numbers? regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kuntzagk SystemAdministrator MDC Berlin / BIMSB Tel.: +49 30 9406 2997 --

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:

I can''t seem to find anyplace that list the facts that I can us in my puppet scripts; can somebody please point me in the right direction? -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--

Hi, I''m looking to combine a couple of fact names with the value of a class parameter to create and lookup the resulting fact''s value. Is that possible? For example, my class will take the parameter "my_default_nic" from beyond. So I know that as long as $my_default_nic exists on the client, then so will facts like macaddress_<NIC>, netmask_<NIC>,

Hi, I''m new to Puppet, but it looks very good, so far. We are going to use it for a multi-tier (DEV, QA, staging, production) environment which is consists of web, app, and database servers. I have a couple of suggestions for the Puppet documentation that may save others some time. First, it seems node names MUST be FQDNs (hostname and hostname. will not work). Since we are not using

I''m having a problem with variable interpolation that I haven''t found a good solution to. I want to use a variable as part of the name of a fact, but the interpolation doesn''t work as expected. I''ve allowed for passing the mac address into my define() but if it''s not provided I want to look it up via facter. if

Hi there, I have a problem I don''t know how to solve. Let''s say you have two services, applications, whatever that communicate with each other, and they establish a shared password or key to authenticate to the other part. This happens with DHCP/DNS (I think is called dynamic zone update, the DHCP server updates the DNS zone with information from the dynamically configured

Just installed Puppet 2.6.4 on Ubuntu 10.10 I was trying to restart the puppet agent but got the following error and the agent didn''t run: $ sudo puppetd --server server.domain.com --waitforcert 60 --test err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed warning: Not using cache on failed

Hi Everybody, I been looking through google for better part of the day but I haven''t been able to find an answer to my problem. I need an environmental variable to be present in puppet, so that yum works correctly. However after reboot puppet doesn''t read /etc/profile and starts without this profile. If I go into server and do services puppet restart than everything works fine,

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to gain access to the nodename as a variable, in order to refer to the name or part of it inside a class. Eg: I have a lot of sites that essentially have the same configuration, except they are in different domains and have different requirements for things like resolv.conf. I can manage this by creating a node definition for each node and specifying some

Hi, I''m following http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules in order to use a custom fact. My modules looks like: # ls manifests/modules/network/ manifests plugins # ls manifests/modules/network/plugins/facter/primaryint.rb manifests/modules/network/plugins/facter/primaryint.rb as is said in doc. Then: Turn on pluginsync and specify factpath, so that the facts

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

Hi all, I need my servers to decide which network they are in (i.e. dmz), and the only clue is the servers IP-address. I was trying to accomplish it like this, but it doesn''t work: case $ipaddress { "10.1.1.*": { $network = "net1" } "10.2.2.*.*": { $network = "net2" } "10.3.3.*": {

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean?
