similar to: An option to test what will be done by the puppet client?

I want to create native types (despite that fact that apparently nobody wants to) to manage a variety of resources under a common namespace. However, I can''t seem to get the namespacing going right. With a defined type, I can do this: define backup_ninja::config(blah, baz) { ... } But that''s not much use to me, as a defined type just isn''t going to cut the mustard

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi *! How do you monitor when the last puppet transaction was successful on a node? I''m searching for something easy like a timestamp, so I can put a nagios watch on this.

I''m in a bit of a pickle and I can''t work out a safe way to do something. I currently have a define called ip that I use to define network interfaces. The built in method didn''t seem to work, so I designed this to write out the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg- ethX file. However, I started thinking about what if I decide to define an eth0:0 for some purpose, and

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

Hi, I''ve got a problem when using templates in Puppet. In my node declarations, i set (or not) some special variables to activate (or not) some part of my configuration. When i don''t need the configuration part, i don''t declare the variable. I then use something like this in my templates: ... <% if defined? myvar %> ... myvalue = <%= myvar %> ... <%

Hi, I''ve been using puppet to manage a small Linux network fairly successfully for a while now - thanks. I''ve hit a spot of bother in managing some files, though. There are a number of folders in /usr/local that I want to manage efficiently using puppet - for example /usr/local/share/templates. I want to copy the contents of a number of source folders on the puppet fileserver

Hi, I have this small problem with my servers managed by Puppet (i have a workaround so the problem is not so important): 1) These servers are installed with Red Hat Linux Enterprise and i use Puppet in client-server mode. 2) I''ve made a Puppet class called "yum" to install (by the RPM package provider) and configure YUM on my servers. I don''t use the YUM package

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, I can''t find a way to add a page on the wiki (i''m logged in but there is no edit button on the facter recipes page), so here is a recipe for DRBD. It has been tested on version 0.8.4. Can someone publish it on the web site? if FileTest.exists?("/proc/drbd") result = {} Thread::exclusive do File.readlines("/proc/drbd").each do |l| if l =~

Hi, I try to find a way to do this in Puppet: - i have a web server with Apache installed - on this web server i got user accounts (and there is a group for each user with the same name as the user name, in my case a group called "sebastien.prudhomme". This group is the initial group of the user) - i want to set up UserDir in Apache so that my users can have their own website. - on my

Hi all, I''ve now finished all of the functionality I plan to add in the next release, so all that remains is closing as many open bugs as possible. I''ve gone through and marked all of the bugs I specifically plan on fixing with the ''minor'' milestone. If you have a bug in the db[1] that you think needs to be fixed in the next release but is not

Hi, when using puppet to install extra rpm packages on centos: how can I make a package depend on 2 or more other packages. e.g. this works: class centos4_extra_packages { package { "test1" : ensure => installed, require => package["prereq"] } } but I can''t figure out how to make test1 require

Hello, i use a file type to manage sysctl.conf. For some work i override this file by doign File[''/etc/sysctl.conf''] and i have an exec refresh only to run sysctl -p so it reread the sysctl.conf file if changed.

Hi, From looking at the puppetd --help, there is not currently (at 0.22.4) a method of specifying tags in the puppetd.conf. I was hoping to use this for the following reason: Currently, I use ''noop = true'' in my puppetd.conf, and run ''puppetd --no-noop {tags}'' to install the configurations that I am happy with. This is because I''m currently

Greetings - I think I've just had one of my fears confirmed: not Dovecot-specific exactly, but it affects how we will use of Prayer (Webmail Software) with Dovecot... Currently our production service uses MBX-format mailboxes with the UW IMAP server; we also use the University of Cambridge "Prayer" software for Webmail. By default Prayer saves its preference settings,

Hi, I am very new to Ruby, but I know I can express myself in writing pretty well. If it''s OK to contribute to the documentation of WXRuby, How do I do that?
