Sometimes "facter --yaml" doesn''t list all the values specified on the command line. I can''t find rhyme nor reason why. Here''s a demo to show what I mean: # facter --version 1.5.7 # facter --yaml fqdn macaddress lsbdistcodename --- fqdn: my.host.name.example.com lsbdistcodename: squeeze macaddress: "00:00:00:00:00:00" We had been using the above

I''ve just committed Facter 1.3.8. All of the work for this release was done by James Turnbull, so everyone should thank him for getting it done. Here''s the changelog: Fixed Rdoc::usage bug on CentOS 5 - closed Puppet #753 and Facter #40 Added support to return multiple interfaces and their IP addresses and MAC addressess as facts. Returns

Facter has the feature that it will turn any environment variable named FACTER_* into a fact. I can do this on the commandline no problem, but when I attempt this in puppet it seems to ignore that parts. Is anyone else seeing this? (Is this expected behavior?) I don''t see a ticket or a mail thread on it - though my searching powers have been weak the last couple of weeks... Thanks,

I have 2 RHEL 5.4 systems where all facter lsb* items are missing. Any ideas?

Hi all, I''ve finally gotten around to releasing Facter 1.5. As the version bump implies, this is a relatively significant release (for a 2.3k line program, anyway). Mostly, the biggest change is refactoring the code internally so that all of the functionality is split into separate classes in separate files. Also, the facts are all loaded on-demand, which provides dramatic

I''d like to extend my use of puppet to manage my desktop/notebook macs. As others have noted, the hostname of the mobile machines tends to change frequently, so basing the node name (in my site.pp) and the corresponding cert and private key names seems to be an issue. I seem to recall somewhat talking about this at Puppet Camp last week….. Generally my signing strategy is always to

I recently upgraded my Puppetmaster to 0.24.4 and it looks like my templates are not working properly. All of my clients use the same certificate, built by my original client "xx". I do this using the certname=blah parameter in the puppet.conf on each client. Up until I upgraded each client would use the "xx" certificate (which I had renamed to "blah") and

I have set up puppet to create a facts.yaml file for mcollective using the following line: content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime.*|timestamp|.*free|macaddress.*|ipaddress)/ }.to_yaml %>"), However, it is creating a lot of unnecessary changes by reordering the facts in the yaml output as you can see in the diff output between to

Hi, I am using the cloud provisioner to bootstrap some ec2 nodes, and these clients are signed using a randomly generated certname, which is put in /etc/puppet.conf at the bootstrap time (eg certname = d7bcd693-73fd-495f-0876-ff91ea11111e). But my puppet code repo also manages the puppet.conf file, so the file will be overwritten on the client at the first puppet run. Nevertheless, i should not

Do any of you good people have a moment to help me out with my basic Puppet language skills, I''m a little new around here and getting an error I don''t yet understand. I have an RHEL4 Puppetmaster happily controlling the permissions of /etc/sudoers on an RHEL5 and SolarisX86 client. My actual environment consists of several systems in several locations. All systems need the

Does anyone have any insight into this error message? err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: The fact named fact_stomp_server does not appear to be a valid hostname. The value of '''' does not match ''^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$''. A common cause of this problem is running puppet agent as a normal user instead of root, or the fact is

Hi guys I have a custom fact envt, it was working fine but now I have to make some changes in it; puppet client''s hostname is of the type 1234qa-abc-de.local where 1234 can be any thing of any length.My custom fact should contain qa, ie I want to check in the first part(before the first -) of the hostname if there exists a pattern/word qa and if it exists then my custom fact for envt

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

I would like to do a case statement based on different vlans. If a person does a case statement on $ipaddress provided by facter, can you match regex expressions such as case $ipaddress { "192.168.1.[0-9]+": do something "192.168.2.[0-9]+": do something else } Also, would this best be solved by a case statement or other functionality within puppet? Thanks

Hi, I''d like to upcase a variable before it is saved, but I''m not sure how to access the incoming param or where this work should be performed: In my update method, I have: @device = Device.find(params[:id]) params[:device[macaddress]].upcase <-- problem code if @device.update_attributes(params[:device]) ....usual stuff here ''macaddress'' is the

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 all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on

Hello, I created a module for modifying the base network settings on a machine. However no matter what changes I make it keeps giving me the error "has different MAC address than expected, ignoring" when the network tries to startup. I am testing this out on the puppet learning VM. Does anyone see anything wrong with my code: init.pp -------------------------- define basehost
