I have some facter file to distribute before running puppet on the platform. The problem is : how can i send the facter local.rb file so the rest of the .pp file take into account the new facts created ? ex: i have sudopath as a facter fact and one sudoers class that need that sudopath to work. How do you model that ? it seems puppet would have to rerun after the new local.rb is downloaded

fact loads: I use facter to search the rsync path and then i write this sudoers line: Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/rsync I call puppet like this: puppetd --factsync --server=xxx.yyy.61.131 --waitforcert 60 --test the recipe is: sudoensure_line { sudobackupcommands: ligne => "Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = $rsyncpath",

Hi, I think the answer is no but is it possible to have a facter output from within puppet ? If i type facter on the command line i miss all the fact that puppet download with the factsync feature. How to see the output of facter including those of the factsync file ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain _______________________________________________ Puppet-users mailing list

Hello, I try to install puppet on freebsd 6.X. All is well but i cannot get the certificte to install and be recognized. I run .19.3. I run the puppetd --test --waitforcert 60 then sign and then i got: err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality. info: Creating a new SSL key at /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/conf/ssl/private_keys/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pem info: Creating a new certificate

i got a little idea there, should not puppet use environement LANG=C when managing facts or packages etc... ? i have LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 and puppet choke on quite a few facts (erors messages with uname for exemple: Pour en savoir davantage, faites: « uname --help ». ) and also with packages updates : /usr/bin/apt-cache policy mysql-client-4.1 => err:

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 all, Jennifer Davis from BayLISA has done us the service of already posting the presentation from this past Wednesday night: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8202036065161263530&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7740462681265962824&hl=en It''s about 2 hours total, and I can''t promise it''s any kind of amazing presentation, but I do a

hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

For those of you out there using export/collect (which we really need to come up with a better name for...), can you test the current SVN code? I''m mostly wondering if the performance is any better. To use it, you''ll have to remove your current database, since the database schema is significantly changed. I''m getting what looks like an additional 25% reduction

Hello, i wanted to know if we can use exported ressrouces to do things like this: - for all nodes tagged as xxx create on the node yyy a file which content is a template where we can have each hostname , or create one file per nodes matching exemple /etc/hosts.allow sshd: host1 sshd: host2 ... or /etc/backuppc/host1 /etc/backuppc/host2 ... from the docs it seems i can collect only ALL

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

Hello puppet users, I know this is not really a puppet thing but i wanted to know what tools do you use for server provisionning ? I have to build quite a lot of servers for a prject and i need to instal them. Of course puppet take care of the configuration but i wondered if some of you use things like FAI . It seems that i could use puppet to script FAI to install machines. What do you

Is there a recommended way to set $FACTERLIB so that Puppet will be able to access custom facts when running as a Red Hat service? If I export $FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts and then run Puppet manually I have no problems, but I''m not sure how I should be setting $FACTERLIB when Puppet is running automatically. Cheers, James

Hello, I''m trying to add an environment variable as fact like this : #export $FACTER_test="infof" #facter | grep test test => infof But my fact don''t synchronize with puppet master. I don''t see it in / var/puppet/yaml/clientfile.yaml If I want this works, I''ve need to start puppet like this : #puppetd -vt --factsync but factsync''s

Hi, When starting puppet on a new machine, (or when the $vardir/lib is empty) puppet will not run the facts, it will only copy them. on the second time puppet runs, it works quiet well: on the client its defined: [main] pluginsync = true pluginsource = puppet://$server/plugins plugindest = $vardir/lib/puppet factpath = $vardir/lib/puppet/facter [puppetd] factsync = true I also tried with

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

I forgot to mention this in my announcement yesterday. Puppet facts are no longer downcased in the language, and string comparisons now default to being case-insensitive. Where your operating system might previously have been ''solaris'' or ''debian'', it is now ''Solaris'' or ''Debian''. However, you can still do comparisons

Hello there, i cannot find the links to Facter on the site. I saw code with things like :confined and such. Where can i read any docs about how the inner uses of Facter works ? http://reductivelabs.com/projects/facter/custom.html http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AddingFacts don''t speak of it. -- Cordialement, Ghislain _______________________________________________

Greetings - I''ve just started testing Puppet and have a couple of questions: 1. Is there a way to dynamically change a configuraion file that is sent to nodes? For example, I want to modify /etc/hosts to have the hostname and ip address set dynamically - the hosts file shoule look like: 12.34.56.78 node1.example.com 22.35.66.99 server1.example.com But I don''t want to
