similar to: Configuring hosts with data from other hosts

I''ve begun using Hiera in combination with Foreman, primarily storing data that is best left in Array/Hash form. I''d like to be able to have a module, in this case BackupPC, query all the Hiera data for each node where the backup directories/databases are stored. Then use all that information on the BackupPC server to generate proper configuration files for each

Hello, I have number of classes that deal with user management and I''ve run into a snag with needing to extend/modify either the user or group types. I''m using theforeman as an ENC. The class structure I have is something like the following. users::common users::dev users::prod etc... users::{dev, prod} do not use inheritance. Almost all node include users::common.

Hi, I have just started to use Foreman 1.1. I have been using Puppet for a while and have some custom modules and ones that have been dragged down from git etc. I am using nodes.pp in Puppet to assign classes and template entries to hosts. So is Foreman meant to eliminate my need for a nodes.pp? How do I manage my erb templates in Puppet without a nodes.pp? Thanks, -- You received

Has anyone run into this issue before? http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5046#note-17 Is there something obvious that I''m missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t really utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB doesn''t yet do anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into setting up a separate Foreman server. I saw the script mentioned

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

Hi guys, As I mentioned in a previous email I''ve refactored ntp and released a 1.0.0 release candidate. There''s one outstanding "flaw" remaining that''s bothering me and I wanted to solicit opinions on the list. We currently maintain a template per distribution that is close to the stock distribution provided ntp configuration. This leads to massive

Trying to figure out the erwbgy/system plugin and just getting stuck.. first run it did some changes, but it ignored parameters for ntp and now its not refreshing if I update the yaml at all, Im slightly lost at what I may be missing :) hiera.yaml --- :hierarchy: - %{certname} - %{environment} - global - %{environment}/common :backends: - yaml :yaml: :datadir:

Hi, I''m trying to do something with Hiera, whereby the ''default'' configuration for a class is within it''s role/profile manifest, which can then be overridden on a node specific basis by hiera. As an example; class profile::base { class { ''::ntp'': servers => [''a'', ''b'', ''c'',

Hey all, I''ve been messing around with the hiera-foreman backend to see if it would let me migrate to hiera and use foreman and an ENC. https://github.com/torrancew/hiera-foreman It works by querying each node''s yaml file from foreman. Currently this code works when called from the hiera command line with the -m (mcollective option). It uses the mcollective facts to pull

Afternoon all. I''ve been reading around on Puppet and Oracle, and have come up with a few links that suggest how to get Oracle installed and base configured, which has got me started in the right direction on that. My next challenge is maintaining Oracle database specific configuration on the relevant hosts. This contains various elements, such as /etc/oratab, /etc/oranfstab (as

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet. My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and

I am using puppet 2.7.14 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have the following gems: *** LOCAL GEMS *** diff-lcs (1.1.3) hiera (0.3.0) hiera-puppet (0.3.0) metaclass (0.0.1) mocha (0.12.1) puppet-lint (0.1.13) puppetlabs_spec_helper (0.2.0) rake (0.9.2.2) rspec (2.11.0) rspec-core (2.11.1) rspec-expectations (2.11.2) rspec-mocks (2.11.1) rspec-puppet (0.1.3) When I run "rake help" I get the

I have these three modules with the following structure: |-- modules | |-- create_resources | | |-- LICENSE | | |-- Modulefile | | |-- README | | |-- lib | | | `-- puppet | | | `-- parser | | | `-- functions | | | `-- create_resources.rb | | |-- spec | | | |-- spec.opts | | | |-- spec_helper.rb | | | `-- unit

Greetings, I''m having an issue with my implementation of exported resources. I have a memcache server pool, and want to update the /etc/php.d/ memcache.ini with the ips of all the servers. Previously, I hard coded the $memcacheservers array in the node manifest and the template collected and populated the template. Now that I''m moving to exported resouces, how do I get it to

Hi, I''m not a total newbie with puppet, but I only use it for a few things and I''m not even using modules yet, mostly because I only deploy configuration files for now. I have a configuration for NTP that looks like this: class ntpd { package { "ntp": ensure => installed, } file { "/etc/ntp.conf": owner => root,

Hi folks, I''ve poked around the language reference, and havent found anything on this so far. I''d like to be able to force a clean early exit from a module. WITHOUT encasing the whole body of the module in an if statement. What I''m looking for: class somemodule { #no this isnt going to be a global variable I''m just using that as an example, if

Hello all, I don''t know if I have hit a strange bug or it''s just an incorrect interpretation about how parameter autoloading works... Today I have been searching, analysing and about to hit my head against a wall trying to figure out why a call to hiera_hash was not merging data from top level among different hierarchies. The problem was that I was trying to do something

Hi, I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman, and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier. In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid having to do that. I''m also using environments (production/testing/ development) as well, but think I have most of

We need to refer to common variables across multiple modules. For example, our dns module, firewall module and monitoring module need knowledge of our radius server IP address. Is the correct approach to create a ''common'' class where these variables are defined and then reference them from each module and create a class dependancy as below. We are using a custom ENC which
