similar to: Error reloading manifests

Hi there, I''m trying to document my puppet manifests, and I have created kind of a template for class documentation. After documenting a few I thought it would be great for complex manifests if we could have a tool that read some kind of standard documentation in puppet manifests and create HTML (or other format) documentation, as javadoc in Java or RDoc (?) in Ruby. So two questions:

Hi there, After quite a long time out of puppet business I''m back, and the first thing I''m doing is rephrasing my puppet manifests using modules. I started with the NTP module (a classic, I guess). I have (more or less) the following: In modules/ntp/manifests/init.pp: $ntp_localtime = "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" class ntp { ... some stuff using the

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You folks were so helpful with my last problem I thought I''d try again. I''m attempting to use the services filetype to ensure that ntpd is running on all my hosts. Unfortunately this does not seem to be working on my Gentoo test system. I get the following output on the client log: puppetd[3436]: Starting configuration run

I''ve started working on a new tool that should help with modifying the configuration of a system under the control of puppet. The tool is called cft (pronounced ''sift'') and is inspired by Gnome''s Sabayon[1] in taht it watches how an admin changes a system and spits out a puppet manifest based on its observations. Cft''s website is

hi I''ve read about PuppetReporting at the Trac website. Apparently you are working on integrating the benchmark tests for every type in ruby. Do you have any idea when this will all get implemented? This is a crucial part (and actually a necessary feature) in the configuration management system we have set up using Puppet. grtz Koen Vereeken

Hi there, I''m facing a problem that I think it''s common enough to be solved directly by puppet or at least have a best practice recommended: building a config file from snippets. I''m thinking for example about a dns zone and hosts inside that zone, ldap server and ldap databases, samba server and samba shares, a firewall config and firewall rules,... The first part of

Hi there, Maybe another bug? I have the following in site.pp: $localtime = $domain ? { "example.org" => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid", default => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" } If I take this away and put it in another file, and then import that file, I get the following error: err: Cannot reassign variable localtime in file

... 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 there, I want to manage some files with puppet that control the installation of packages in Gentoo (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/*). These files must be downloaded to the client before any package resource is processed, so they are installed correctly. Is there any way to do this? Possible solutions: 1. Include in *every* package require => [ list of files ] inside a case statement, so

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to parse individual manifest files as part of a pre-commit hook in subversion. I am looking for something like puppetmasterd --parseonly, but that will work on individual files. This way I can reject a commit if it does not pass. Any ideas? TIA

Hi, I''m exploring Puppet and have hit a rather weird problem. The puppetmaster server is running CentOS4, fully updated, with puppet installed from the dlutter RPM repo, version 0.20.0-1.el4. I tried adding the remotefile function definition from http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/installation.html in /etc/puppet/manifests/utils/remotefile.pp but when I start

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

Hi Puppet-Team, first thanks for this great configuration management tool ! My name is Matt and i am on creating a puppet plugin for openQRM. The basic framework is already existing and working well so far. Now, after having it working ok once i now ran into a problem that my puppet-clients do not get their configuration any more from the puppetmasterd. What i saw on the puppetmasterd logs is :

Hi there, I find myself writing a lot of similar required/subscribe parameters, for example in service definitions: package { whatever : ensure => latest } service { whatever: ensure => running, require => Package[ whatever ], subscribe => Package[ whatever ] } Am I doing this correctly, or does subscribe imply require so the require parameter here is unnecessary? Thanks

I posted this earlier on IRC, but it didn''t seem anyone was active: <mozillaman>Hey all! <mozillaman>Quick question for you :) <mozillaman>I installed puppet according to the directions on the site and got this: sudo /usr/bin/puppetmasterd --nonodes undefined method `retrieve'' for nil:NilClass <mozillaman>Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be

Hello, still upgrading to .20.1 and i have another issue that puppet does not regonize anymore my definitions, i use some ensure lines definition in a function.pp file and since then i am unable to make it work. puppetmasterd tells me this: Unknown function sudoensure_line in file /etc/puppet/manifests/./classes/backup.pp the import of the function is my 2 line of the site.pp and i

Hi As I''m more familiar with cfengine and it''s way to split updates (in update.conf) from the actual grunt work (in cfagent.conf), I''m wondering how to best manage puppet and my manifests with puppet...? Should I define a puppet class that copy the puppet package (in .tgz format) and all the manifests to the client, and then have all my other classes depend on

Hi there, I would like to use puppet to configure two networks and one of the first things I''ve tried to do is to describe ntp configuration. Each network has a ntp server that acts as a proxy for internal nodes, so those internal nodes share the same configuration except for the server they use to get the time. Attempting to describe this I''ve thought of several approaches,
