Guys, I seriously could not find this topic in the documentation. What do you do when you need to force puppetd hosts get the new settings from puppetmasterd? What I found was only sending USR1 signal to the client process in order to make it refresh its configuration from the master. But I find it a bit inconvenient for a large amount of hosts. There is also puppetrun which, if I understand

I''m running into an issue trying to do something like the following: class test { file {"test": content => template(''mytemplate1'',''mytemplate2''), } } class test::test2 inherits test { File["test"] { content +> template(''mytemplate3''), } } So, basically I want the inherited class to tack on another

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

This might be a crazy idea, but it just popped into my head, and I wanted to know if it''s possible. Perhaps not possible right now, but possible in a theoretical sense. Is it possible that puppet could be modified to be used to manage switches that have a command line based interface? When I manage our Allied Telesis switches (which have a CLI similar to cisco IOS) I wonder if I could

So, I''ve been doing something like this for applications that have a client and server component... node base_node { include syslog_ng::client }} node app_node inherits base_node { } node syslog_server inherits base_node { include syslog_ng::server } ... because I want the client portion, syslog-ng in this case to be installed on everything. However, the server node also has a

Hi all, The underlying assumption of membership in any community is that your participation is at worst neutral, and if possible positive. Communities, online or off, generally do what they can to protect themselves from detrimental influences, which is where policies, politeness, moderators, and all that come into play. Puppet''s community has been both fortunate and awesome,

Hey Folks, I''m looking at doing automated provisioning of new servers and am trying to integrate puppet into this process. What I''m wondering though is what the best process for securely registering a new node is. At the moment the first time puppet is run I have to then accept the certificate on the puppetmaster and then run puppet again. What I would like to do is accept the

Hi all, I''m using cobbler as our external node manager and it''s working really well (including deployment of ActiveMQ from RI''s RPMS and Mcollective - blog post coming soon!) however I''ve run into a problem with exim configuration files. We use exim in a number of different configurations depending on the role of the server (webserver/antivirus/outbound

I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

I am a little new to managing large numbers of CentOS/RHEL servers and was wondering what you experienced sysadmins prefer, Spacewalk or Puppet?

I''m using puppet 0.24.7-4. I have a situation where I have some very long running puppet runs in order to do upgrades (removing applications from load balancers gracefully, et cetera). My puppet runs triggered via puppetrun are finishing successfully: Jun 8 20:31:29 puppetd[10178]: Finished catalog run in 345.18 seconds Puppetrun itself is timing out: err: Connection timeout calling

I want to create a new page in the wiki, to hold documentation for a new contributed module that I''m developing. I''ll link to it from the modules page. I''ve tried going to http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/ModuleSshAuth, which AFAIK is supposed to offer me to option to create the page, since it doesn''t exist. But all I get is "Page ModuleSshAuth

Hey Folks, I''m just starting to look into Puppet though am finding it a bit confusing as to how to get it setup on the network I administer. At the moment it is a combination of RHEL 4 and SLES 10 boxes with windows and novell also. I know that windows / novell is beside the point though am wondering how to get puppet setup on the RHEL and SLES side of things. Any good howto''s

I''ve been hacking at puppet for the past week or two, and came up with some great stuff, but I''m wondering if there''s a way to tie it all together To create a virtual machine for our company''s QA environment, I''m currently doing 3 things: #create a vm node vmsvr2 inherits default { include vmserver vmserver::vm {

Hello All, I''m reviewing switching to puppet from chef and am trying to identify how to port the various features. I have hit a stumbling block searching for nodes. In Chef i could search for a node by role, but I am lost as how to do this with puppet and classes. Example: I want my load-balancing node to look for all application server nodes and grab their ip address (and hostname

Hi folks I know that has, to some degree, been run over the past year in different ways, but, I may have yet another instance of an issue on this. The puppetmaster system and the puppet system are both running 0.24.7-r1, on a gentoo system. Other puppet systems are running 0.24.4. The puppet system (not the puppetmaster system) that is running 0.24.7-r1 is showing multiple close_wait

Hi guys, I''m installing Puppet on RHEL5 systems using KickStart but struggle with the first boot. Here''s my situation: 1) kickstart installs the system, including puppet from our local repo 2) after reboot I have to login and set the hostname and IP 3) then run puppet, register it with the server and bring in the config 4) configure puppet for automatic start I have to

Is there an easy way to convert a puppet client into being a puppet master? Here''s the scenario. I''m using puppet to configure all my systems, and would like it to be able to deploy a new puppet master as well. We have systems worldwide so having local puppet masters is very desirable for fault tolerance. So Kickstart (via cobbler) installs a puppet client during the initial

Ok, I''m new to puppet, but I''ve got everything working for my setup. Almost. I''m trying to set up a new server, using cobbler, and then puppet. CentOS 6.2 Puppet 2.7.11 Cobbler 2.0.11 I have things set up so I can use kickstart to install the server on boot. It installs puppet and facter from the puppetlabs repos and the snippet

I was wondering how Puppet relates to the DMTF''s CIM. AFAICT there is a clear connection between the two, but I see very little discussion on the topic on the list.
