I''m in the process of documenting templates right now, and I figured I should see what happens when you use them with arrays: $ cat ~/bin/test.pp $values = [this, is, an, array, of, values] $content = template("/tmp/templates/testing.erb") file { "/tmp/temtest": content => $content } $ cat /tmp/templates/testing.erb <% values.each do |val| %> I got

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 would like to know on what platforms Puppet runs. I cannot seem to find the information on Puppet''s web site. Bcfg2 has it on it''s front page :-) I know there are .debs and .rpms, but are, for instance, Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX supported? Thanks. -- Guillaume Pratte Recherche et développement Révolution Linux Toutes les opinions et les prises de position

Hi, I am sure this subject has come up before. I did not find anything on Google that comes close to what I am trying to do. I would like to manage different groups on multiple nodes using puppet and do not know of a good way to do it. Does anyone have an idea of how I can accomplish this? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Mouncef _______________________________________________

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?

Hi, I have several Debian servers with puppet 0.23.2. Part of my manifest looks like this: class virt_all_users { @group { "andy": ensure => "present", gid => "1000" } @user { "andy": ensure => "present", uid => "1000",

I just talked to Mike McGrath from Fedora Infrastructure, and he told me that they are seeing load spikes (not quite performance problems yet, but definitely a concern) in their setup. As an example, the graph [1] shows a typical client - the spikes from 16:00 to 8:00 are almost exclusively puppetd doing its thing. It seems that the most likely culprit is the fileserver - they serve 500-1500

Hello, I have two Vmware images, with 256MB of RAM memory each one, running puppetmasterd for the server and puppetd for the client. It''s normal that my puppetmasterd and puppetd occupies almost 10% of RAM memory each one? They aren''t doing anything especial, just listening on the ports. Thanks.

Hi, My environment is composed of ~250 workstations hitting a single puppetmaster server, which has been working fairly well up until now. The most recent change has been a migration of a lot of remote file copy objects which were previously handled with cfengine. client side puppetd calls to the puppetmaster.getconfig method are taking unreasonably long, on the order of 2-3 minutes. It

I just realized that if you don''t have redhat-lsb on your (Fedora 7) box, all those lsb* facts don''t show up. Should I make redhat-lsb a requirement for the facter rpm to guard against that ? David

Maybe I''ve missed the obvious way of doing this, but is there an easy way to do something only when a package is installed but not updated? I''ve tried a few ideas but they all seem to be heading down the wrong path (tm).

Hi, I''m new to Puppet, but it looks very good, so far. We are going to use it for a multi-tier (DEV, QA, staging, production) environment which is consists of web, app, and database servers. I have a couple of suggestions for the Puppet documentation that may save others some time. First, it seems node names MUST be FQDNs (hostname and hostname. will not work). Since we are not using

Why doesn''t the yum provider support version, I tried added ensure -> ''ver'' and it barfs up (on clients) with: <snip> err: //stan.gbuild.org/any-host/java/Package[j2sdk]/ensure: change from 1.4.2_12-fcs to 1.4.2_13-fcs failed: Package provider yum does not support specifying versions at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ java.pp:13 </snip>

I''ve tried to implement puppetmaster High Availability (mon+heartbeat). Herefore, the puppet client and puppet master are running on both servers. When the puppet client starts up, it generates a certificate, public and private key for the machine it runs on. When the puppet master starts up, it changes something so that the puppet client have no valid certificate anymore (the

I have a machine with two swap partitions (sda2 and sda8). Both will have none as mount point. When I try to use puppet (using mount type) for managing fstab I get problems because "name" in both instances (i.e. mount path) will be "none". How should I fix this within puppet? Regards Halvard Moe
