Hi there, I have a strange problem with the exported ressources in the munin module I wrote. See: http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-June/003179.html For some reason it stopped working. On the munin::host I get the error that: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource File[munin_def_XY_4949] cannot override local resource The munin::host is also a

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''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 *! Here is a hack to emulate cfengines editfiles/Group behaviour. {{{ $splice_dir = "/var/local/puppet/splice" file { $splice_dir: ensure => directory, tag => "file_splice", } # Replace a section marked by # comment_char {BEGIN,END} pattern # with the given content # if checksum is set to "none", no resource is defined for the edited file define

Hi all, I am new to puppet and also newcomer in this group. I heart good things about puppet and I decided to give it a try 2 weeks now. After reading various documentation, I began using the complete configuration collection of puppet modules (thanks to David). But I have a problem with the munin module. It works fine, except that it seems to not export virtual ressources. Let me give more detail

Hi, We''re using thin stored configs heavily to manage things like Munin and Nagios and we''re currently wondering what to do when nodes go away, or change considerably. If we get rid of a server then all it''s stored config is still present in the database, as well as it''s nagios and munin configurations. We created a script that iterates through the database

Greetings, I''m trying to wrap my head around a solution to a problem I''m facing with an exported resources configuration I have. I''m using the following simple config to build a munin configuration: @@file { "/etc/munin/munin.conf.d/${::fqdn}.node": content => "[All Hosts;${::fqdn}] address ${ipaddress_eth0} use_node_name yes\n\n", tag

I get errors like this randomly on some of my puppet clients: puppetd[7303]: (//munin/Config-file[muninnode]/File[/etc/m unin/munin-node.conf]) Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet://puppet.hq.eso.org/modules/munin/munin-node.c onf: at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:41 The relevant definition from /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp is: # Generic

Hi, I''m running Puppet 0.23.0 on my servers, and i got something like this: In a classa.pp file (included in site.pp): class A { file { "test1": ... } } In a classb.pp file (included in site.pp): class B { file { "test2": ... } if defined(File["test1"]) { ... do things ... } if

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! I''m currently working on integrating VServer support into puppet.

Greeting Puppeteers, ( I sent this from the wrong address so it may be a duplicate post after moderation ) I recently discovered puppet from the debian administration site and thought I might install it after BASHING my head against cfengine the last 3 times I tried to install it. I installed puppetmaster on my primary server and dropped puppet on a couple of xen virtuals. It worked

Hello list. I''ve the following parent class: class munin::client { ... munin::client::plugin { "postfix_mailqueue": name => "postfix_mailqueue", enable => "false" } } And the following inherited class: class munin::client::plugins::postfix inherits munin::client { munin::client::plugin {

Hi, This is totally off-topic (it''s an rpm/rpmbuild problem), but I want to get to a point where I''m installing and configuring munin-node with puppet. To do that, I need a clean, standardized way of installing munin-mode on CentOS (RHELish) boxes. I could install munin-node from source via puppet and probably make enough edits that all the files end up in reasonable locations

Hi, I was playing with the munin plugin in nsd4 beta4, and saw some strange errors. Directly after starting nsd on linux, I'm seeing: $ ps ax -o pid,ppid,user,args | grep nsd 1638 1 nsd /usr/sbin/nsd -c /etc/nsd/nsd.conf 1641 1638 nsd /usr/sbin/nsd -c /etc/nsd/nsd.conf 1647 1641 nsd /usr/sbin/nsd -c /etc/nsd/nsd.conf $ sudo munin-run nsd_munin_memory

Hi, I''ve just installed 0.22.2 and believe I''ve discovered a bug (or oversight). I have an exec like this: exec { "change-to-local-mirror": command => "sed -i ''s#\(KERNEL_REPO.*=\).*#\1 $mirror#'' ${rulefile}", path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin",

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

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.32 Severity: normal It seems when someone runs a sudo command on my system, logcheck misses it. The second line of /etc/logcheck/violations.d/sudo matches them, but the /etc/logcheck/violations.ignore.d/logcheck-sudo kills them. Furthermore, when users run commands like '$ sudo rm *' in a directory with lots of files, we reports with lines like: Jan 13

The munin rpms from EPEL failed to install correctly on a particular machine. This is why # /usr/sbin/groupadd -r munin groupadd: Can't get unique system GID (no more available GIDs) # but I don't understand why this happens. Even after checking the man pages for groupadd and login.defs, I have been unable to determine what the settings for SYS_GID_MIN/SYS_GID_MAX on RHEL/CentOS are.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Russ, Digant, *! Several times on the IRC channel I noticed people having problems getting to grips with the interaction of scopes when using template nodes[1]. Typically this looks thus: | node genericwebserver { stuff } | | node ''web01.example.com'' inherits genericwebserver { | $influence_genericwebserver =

Hello all, How are you using the sshkey type? Are you using it to list hosts and keys in a class that nodes include in order to manage /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts or something else? How does any of this relate to the sshrsakey and sshdsakey facts on the host? I read some stuff about this on the Virtual Resources page but it''s too vague for my simple mind and I''d be reluctant to use
