Hi everyone, I have a problem with my Puppet server, the server is overloaded and processes need to add half of my farm nodes yet! The server is hosted on a blade with the following characteristics: Processors: 8 cores Memory Ram: 12 Gb Operating System: Debian Squeeze Version of parcel: 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 puppet 1 puppet-common 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 2.7.1-1 ~ bpo60 1 puppetmaster puppetmaster 2.7.1-1 ~

Does anyone have a technique for performing an exec the first time puppetd runs but then reverting to refreshonly => true state for subsequent runs? The basic idea is: file { "/etc/foo": notify => Exec["bar"] } exec { "bar": command => "Do stuff to /etc/foo", refreshonly => true } Should I use a fact that is unset based on a

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

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

With 0.25 we can use the split function to parse a string in to an array. In puppet how can I reference a single element of that array? $temp = "1,2,3,4" Then i''d lilke to do : $val = split($temp,'','')[0] Thanks, Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

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

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

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

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

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

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 all, I am developing a few custom providers for some features that I need into my system (such as dealing with different zipped files or generating some JSON data based on OS files) and I have hit into a question about "how to do this for multiple OS?" Lets focus into the zipped file provider that should provide a common method to pack or unpack zipped files (tar, tar.gz,

Hi, I would find it very useful if puppet were able to replicate passwords for specified users from a master PC (the puppetmaster would do me fine, though I suspect this may not suit everyone). That would make changing passwords on my small Linux network a little easier. cheers John Dubery

Would it be possible to... ( I suppose that this is an enhancement request )... automatically do the following on a client-side manifest failure: 1. Wipe localconfig.yaml and state.yaml and try again (seems to fix most things for me) 2. Revert to a last known good configuration if all else fails.

Hello, I''m currently setting up some scripts that will pull in new data for Puppet master (modules, manifests, hiera data, etc.) from a Git repository. It works great! However, I''m concerned about atomicity of the whole thing. Does the Puppet master cache the modules/manifests when it starts? If so, do I need to restart the Puppet master on each update? Or can I send it a

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''m currently trying to get my puppetmaster work in passenger, but have not succeeded so far. Passenger itself seems to work (a small "hello world" app runs fine), but when I point a puppet client (0.24.8) to it, I get: info: Retrieving plugins err: Could not call fileserver.list: #<RuntimeError: HTTP-Error: 500 Internal Server Error> err:

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

Hi. I''m a beginner, but I have a basic puppet setup working. I am doing a manual tarball installation and it seems to be hanging then eventually timing out on just downloading the file: file { "/opt/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz": source => "puppet:///hadoop020/hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz" } I have another module that does the same things and works, my only guess
