All, Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate functions in the Stdlib? If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea what actually threw the error. Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling class/define/stack was blowing up. Thanks, Trevor

I''ve been searching around but haven''t found a way to do something like a purge with augeas. If you have a file such as [iniheader] entry1 (managed by puppet) entry2 (not managed by puppet) And you want to add ''entry3'' as well as removing anything not managed by puppet in that subsection then you currently do not have this capability. Is this correct? I

Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor. Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin integration. It integrates closely with Puppet and Facter. The

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,

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

HI, I''m getting some strange errors when I try to use a variable in a require => Package construct, namely: $packagelist = ["clamav", "clamd", "clamav-db"] package { $packagelist: ensure => latest, } # Above apparently works fine... # ...THEN... file { "/etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd.mimedefang": ensure =>

It contains fixes for all outstanding bug reports as well as some additional optimizations and features. Many thanks to all bug reporters and we''re going to try to not wait another year before fixing new issues! Thanks, Trevor -- Trevor Vaughan Vice President, Onyx

Hi, I''ve been experimenting with Puppet for a few days now, and I really like it. But! I''m having real CPU usage problems. Puppet is still happily eating away 100% CPU for almost an hour at a time, with no apparent things happening. (puppetd -tv --trace --debug, but nothing appearing in the console during this.) I believe the following resource is to blame: file {

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

Hi list, In our platform we have a lot of machines in which the system is a single disk image loaded on RAM from PXE. The problem is quite simple : if I install puppetd on the image, I will end up using the same certificate for 100 different servers with different names (the hostname is setup at boot time from dhcp) and I guess the puppetmaster won''t allow that. In other words : what

We found out, the hard way, that version 1.7 of Facter adds facts for mounted linux file systems. This is nice for normal servers. For a server hosting Oracle not so good. We went from about 100 facts per server to well over 3,000 (our Oracle boxes have quite a few volumes mounted). Of course, this choked our ENC (Foreman) having this many facts pumped into it and required us to downgrade

Hi. I''ve been trying to develop a module for managing Cobbler from puppet. So, I need a custom type - cobblerdistro, which will fetch ISO from http, unpack it at desired destination and register distro with Cobbler. I have one issue with ensure => absent situation. First of all, here is my type: <code> # cat type/cobblerdistro.rb Puppet::Type.newtype(:cobblerdistro) do @doc

Hi List, I would like to discuss with whoever is interested one topic that I suppose has general interest. I want to implement some kind of automatic testing on the status of a node after a Puppet Run. These tests involve trivial and less trivial things things like: - A local service is running - A local port is open - A remote server on a remote port is reachable by the node - An URL replies

How do folks feel about getting Puppet job listings on this list? I''ve rejected a few that we quite spammy, but when the subject matter really is a system admin with puppet experience, the decision becomes a bit different. I''m looking for general feelings.
