All, I''m trying to figure out the best way to estimate the amount of memory usage that will be taken up by Mongrel and I''m hoping that you have some estimates that can help me. I''m currently estimating the following: Memory Required = Number of running puppetmasters * size of manifests * number of clients managed The mongrel model doesn''t seem to *ever*

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

What techniques are people using to do particular tasks once in a great while? For example, usually you don''t want to automatically upgrade the kernel until it''s fully tested but, of course one day you will. How do you work through Puppet to perform this activity on an on-demand basis instead of a periodic job. Are you using state files like "if file X exists do Y"

Has anyone done rollbacks with puppet? The story goes that last night I pushed a change out, which intentionally changed the way certain services where managed. The change involved pushing out a few files, cronjobs, etc., which was okay until it was discovered there was a bug with the service. My configurations are kept in subversion and rolling back to a previous configuration would have

With 0.25 we can use the split function to parse a string in to an array.

How can I install a lot (more than 800) of APT packages using an easy way in puppet? I mean, using some file.txt where I put there the packages I want to install and my package resource get the list . Is it possible? Or do I have to put all packages in the package resource? regards, Israel. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed

We have successfully installed puppet on a CentOS Server, but I am battling with a deployment. It has to do with grid software. The repository gets created, then begins installation. The problem is that it just hangs - no errors, no network activity. I can see puppet is running, but nothing it being updated. Any pointers ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Hello, I just attempted to remove both the ypbind and the yp-tools packages using the package parameter with yum. As it turns out, both of these packages depend on each other. Is there a way of forcing package removal and, if there is not, is there a way of making all packages to be removed be collapsed into the same yum command? Either of these solutions would solve the problem with the

So I have been trying to run puppet once in my kickstart %post scripts but every time it detaches and daemonizes even though I have explicitly stated otherwise. Am I missing something? # rpm -q puppet puppet-0.24.8-1 # /usr/sbin/puppetd --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --debug debug: Creating default schedules debug: Failed to load library ''shadow'' for feature

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

This is slightly off topic, and may just be tossing red meat to y''all, but here goes: My boss has RedHat coming in on Tuesday to give a spiel on RHN Satellite. I''m dubious, as it seems mostly like a web UI wrapped around a Yum repository system and a half-baked configuration management system. I''m of the opinion that our time and money would be better spent getting

I am trying to manage MySQL DB with puppet. So I create a class and would like to set the mysql SQL root password at the beginning. However, the "exec" will run before mysql-server has installed or started which make "exec" failed. how can I make sure the package has installed/run before "exec" task? class mysql-server { package { "mysql":

I''m having a heck of a time with this. Basically I want to write a custom function that returns a value to the file content type. Ex: file { /blah: content => do_stuff(option) } I looked at the wiki posting but just haven''t been able to figure out how to make this work. The first error that I get when I try to actually use ''return'' is: "return

Hello, I ran into this problem today, I am trying to implement "One click installation", I followed foreman howtos and set up the pre-requisites accordingly.

Does anyone know if it''s possible to do the following: Given the directory structure: /foo/bar /foo/bar/<bunch of stuff> Is it possible to set /foo/bar to, say 555, and all stuff below to 440 or the directory equivalent? Thanks, Trevor

When I say busybox it''s actually VMware ESX server which seems to use busybox (which I guess is the case a number of other software appliances) . Reason for wanting to install puppet is to run the cli tools to create nightly vmware snapshots. I''m happy to give it a go (and add the docs to the wiki) but I''m not too sure at this stage how big a task this might be and what,

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?

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are
