Hi, For several years, we have @work had a puppet environment where when we add a new host/node, some basic monitoring is fed through to a nagios server using virtual resources and an old nagios class which either someone here wrote themselves, or found on the internet at the time. We are trying to move away from the existing puppet environment for a number of reasons, and using this as an

So I am working on deploying Puppet for our environment, and I have hit a snag. We have a few applications hosted on Apache, each with different "<Directory>" entries. There is no way to standardize them across all of our application pools and they often overlap. I know I can have a custom template for each type of application, but it would be nice to make it as generic as

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

Hey everyone, I''m trying to figure out how to manage my /etc/fstab with puppet on all my servers. Does anybody have an idea for me how to do? I tried it with augeas but I didn''t like the results I got so far... here is what I''ve tried: define conf ( $id = "01", $spec = " ", $file = " ", $vfstype = "

Is anyone currently using Puppet to manage and/or rollout Adobe FMS? If so, I''d be interested knowing about your config, approach, etc. I can see where the configs can be templated. Applications installed separately (ours are complicated with configs). If you install the base code on a local system, then copy that into a file structure under Puppet, it could be copied over. But

Has anyone found a clean way to manage Glassfish configuration with puppet? Glassfish was designed to be managed through a WebUI or a CLI tool known as asadmin. Making changes using these tools modifies a domain.xml file. Glassfish reads and writes this file every time it restarts, even if the contents are the same, which changes the timestamp. I believe this can be addressed by setting puppet

Module on forge: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apache Code and issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/jsosic/puppet-cobbler Comments are welcome, hope somebody finds it useful. I''m very happy with it so far :D The reason I''m posting it is that couple of people asked me about publishing this module while I was in a process of developing it, so If those people

Hi all, In my systems (SL 6.3, RH like) I''m installing Oracle''s Java. I''m managing the package and several links under /etc/alternatives with puppet, but for configuring it, all the ''official'' docs recommends ''alternatives''. I''ve been looking for some module which already deals with it, but I''ve not found any...

Hi all, I''m using the pear/pecl package providers from http://www.mit.edu/~marthag/puppet/ and I''ve run into a memory limit problem. I''ve tried hacking the script so that it passes additional options to pecl/pear, however these just error out about not being valid options (even though they are!). I''m now at a point where the following stanza gives the

Hello, My organization is currently running a complete production environment on Amazon EC2, and I''m now trying to implement some automations and scaling with puppet. I have several instances which I want them to be almost automatic, meaning that whenever is needed more instances will come up, and when they''re not needed they will be stopped. This should eventually be

Hello Puppet Users and Dev, I have just a pushed a puppet module for NRPE to github. Initially it supports the Debian, Redhat, and Solaris based operating systems. I plan on adding FreeBSD support in the near future. In the meantime I will be updating the documentation and getting it ready for a forge release. I would appreciate any feedback or pull requests to add additional functionality.

In a recent post Nikola Petrov summerized methods for managing config files such as puppet.conf: * use augeas with virtual resources * use the concat module * use the standard template function with multiple arguments; look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html and scroll down to "Combining templates" I can add a few others: * use the ini_setting type

Greetings, I''ve deployed a few solutions involving Puppet in my professional past, and always found upgrades to be somewhat non-trivial. Transitioning from 0.24.x to 0.25.x was quite difficult due to some fairly big structural changes. In general upgrading the puppetmaster is easily achieved, being a single central box managed day-to-day by my team, however slinging all of the nodes

Hello all, Does anyone currently manage Cisco ASA''s out there via Puppet, if so how ? Due to the size of our network it would be great if Puppet could manage Object-groups and ACL''s etc to try and standardize across our ASA hosts. e.g. On one ASA an Object-group would be called monitoring_server on another ASA mon_srv another ASA monsrv It makes understanding the

I want to manage my puppet.conf files on every node, via a puppet module on the puppetmaster. However, in puppet.conf on each of my nodes, I also *must* specify the certname attribute. (This is because my company''s NIS domain doesn''t match it''s DNS domain and the fqdn comes out erroneous unless I enforce the DNS name with the certname attribute.) Does anyone know how

Hi all, I have an interesting one - Solaris uses a lot of commands to configure specific items. A simple example is coreadm. In this example: # coreadm -p "/var/core/core_%n_%f_%u_%g_%t_%p" will set the directory and filename to dump core files (with some expansion). The question is - how to get this to run only if the config has changed. I have come up with 2 options, neither of
