similar to: <Notice>: 'unknown': I need something more specific.

int he example below I run facter looking for the fact "sp_serial_number". as you can see, the command facter sp_serial_number returns nothing, but the fact is there and is returned when just running facter and grepping for the fact. Some fact seem to work and others do not. any ideas? marcuspro:~ allan$ facter --version 1.5.7 marcuspro:~ allan$ facter sp_serial_number marcuspro:~

Hi. I''d like to use exception handling in my custom facts. For example, in plain Ruby: begin buildno = '''' bcrelease = open("/etc/BCrelease") while (line = bcrelease.gets) line = line.chomp buildno = $1 if line =~ /^Build:\s+(\d+)/ end bcrelease.close print "#{buildno}\n" rescue print "No

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

I''ve got the following class that runs if I activate the repo in /etc/yum.conf. If I run "puppetd -t" from the command line it will restart puppetd fine. If I let the class run on it''s own as a deamon puppetd does not restart. The puppetmaster on the other hand does restart using either method. I ran the client in "--debug" but that doesn''t seem to

Hi, I have a lot of systems where the puppetd doesn''t do anything .. When I test with puppetd -tv, it s running well, but when it is started as deamon th process do nothing :( How can I debug this ?

Reminder for Mac Puppeteers going to WWDC How about we meet for lunch at noon on Tuesday. Let''s try to get the table closet to the Odwalla refrigerator, just for reference. We can get more specific on this list on the 8th after we verify the set up. I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

We want to use Nagios to monitor out puppet server so we can be notified if it goes down. We are using Fusion Passenger and Apache on Red Hat. Any suggestion for what and how to monitor? -- Thanks, Allan Marcus 505-667-5666 Allan@lanl.gov -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

Hi I''m trying to add extra facts to facter. The puppetd is running on Debian Etch Amd64 as Xen 3.1 guest. I''ve follow the Wiki on adding the facts. First I used relative path in the manifest and added "factsync=true" in client''s puppetd.conf. And then tested it with "puppetd -vt". But no matter what i tried, this error came: File paths must be fully

I have a custom fact. It syncs correctly, works correctly everywhere when run via ''facter'', and works correctly from puppet on all but one machine. >From ''facter'': # export FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts # /opt/puppet/bin/facter itg_location mel But from within puppetd I get: Sep 13 14:54:29 hordac puppetd[768]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] Could not load fa

Some time ago i sent to the list a problem i was having with facts on fedora core 6 and wasn''t able to find a solution at that time, but with the release of RHEL5 and CentOS 5 based on fc6 i have hit the problem again. i have written several facts to collect information about a clients network and i am also using the vmware fact from the wiki. i have separated my original fact into

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

Hello, I''m trying to add an environment variable as fact like this : #export $FACTER_test="infof" #facter | grep test test => infof But my fact don''t synchronize with puppet master. I don''t see it in / var/puppet/yaml/clientfile.yaml If I want this works, I''ve need to start puppet like this : #puppetd -vt --factsync but factsync''s

Hello, I''ve mcollective 1.2.1 with puppet 2.6.12 on rhel5.6, facter 1.6.2 setup from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki/FactsFacterYAML.

Hi, I''ve created this fact: require ''facter'' if FileTest.exists?("/etc/ha.d") if `service heartbeat status` =~ /running/ cib = `cibadmin -Q`.grep(/epoch/).to_s epoch = cib.scan(/[0-9]+/).first Facter.add("cib_epoch") do setcode do epoch.to_i + 1 end end end end end I''ve tested it as

Just upgraded to 2.7.6 and the yumrepo type does not write out our yum configs correctly, anyone experiencing this? Documentation hasn''t changed from what I can tell for this type. # facter -version 1.6.2 # puppetd --version 2.7.6 # facter architecture x86_64 # facter operatingsystem Fedora # facter operatingsystemrelease 14 ==== My manifest ==== yumrepo {

Group - I''m putting a presentation together for $work (a large .gov) and I want to make sure I get my facts (pun intended) straight ... Are the following steps for Facter-Client-Server interaction correct (I have a feeling not): 1. Client puppet run is initiated (via regular schedule, puppetrun, or puppetd) 2. The client contacts the server and downloads any custom facts it does not

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

Hi Puppet-Team, first thanks for this great configuration management tool ! My name is Matt and i am on creating a puppet plugin for openQRM. The basic framework is already existing and working well so far. Now, after having it working ok once i now ran into a problem that my puppet-clients do not get their configuration any more from the puppetmasterd. What i saw on the puppetmasterd logs is :

Hello all, I''m thinking about a configuration class that, amongst other things execs out to a ''dangerous'' configuration script. I''d like to make this a noop by default, so the operator has to try a bit harder to invoke it. So I thought about doing something like: class blah { exec { danger: noop => true, tag => hitme, command
