Hi, this may sound a bit strange, so let me tell you first what the problem is that i try to solve and maybe there is already a better solution. Some background: We use 3 different environments on our puppetmaster and we implemented something like a release management as a workflow for this. Cause why should you invent something new when you can steal it from software engineers ;-). The release

Hi, I was asked by my boss if puppet can handle the following scenario. - 2 server (A and B) - same config for each server, eg. /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver 1.2.3.4) - but B should have a local unique requirement of another nameserver 5.6.7.8 so, A will have nameserver 1.2.3.4 but B will have nameserver 5.6.7.8 nameserver 1.2.3.4 when we change the global nameserver 1.2.3.4 to 9.8.7.6, it

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with multiple environments/tiers? For instance, we have several environments ( production, dev, qa, etc.. ) and within each environment, different tiers ( web, data, app, etc ). Each tier is a different IP network segment, so all the hosts in each tier have different configurations for certain things like resolv.conf, ntp.conf and so on. We do

What is the view of having / not having global variables in Puppet? Facter variables are global in the sense they are defined in every scope (whereas ''normal'' variables are only available within the scope they are defined in). I could simply add a custom fact for my DoesTheServerNeedASerialConsole flag to Facter, but I''m not 100% sure I should be having the client

We have an existing "management system" of sorts, based on rdist. I''d like to know the best way to migrate it to using puppet. Currently, we have a local binaries tree, rdisted out nightly. We also make use of rdist''s extra capability to trigger scripts when and if named files are updated. I''m not sure what the best method would be, of converting this to

I asked on IRC but no one responded. Suppose the following: class basenode { include users include security class webserver { include apache, php } } node web1a { include basenode::webserver } Does node web1a imply including users and security specified under class basenode as well? Similarly, does this mean the same thing? class basenode { include users include security }

Hi, I have a pretty basic question about variable scooping. We have been using puppet for the past few weeks now and were running into some problems which are probably caused by a lack of understanding or best practices. We have run into the following scenario and are not sure how to fix this. The majority of our host all use the same resolvers in our network (our internal dns servers) but there

I am trying to configure puppet with LDAP repository . I have set puppet schema and I have also added node definition at LDAP. Here is my configuration details . ############################################################## Puppet.conf node_terminus = ldap ldapserver = 10.250.11.127 ldapbase = ou=Hosts,dc=xyz,dc=com ldapassword = secret

Hello Puppet users, I had talked with Luke about this scenario and was wondering how others would/are handling something like this. Imagine a scenario where all servers will have a specific postfix configuration except for a server or two or three. So, you want to define a file "/etc/postfix/main.cf" and specify the source from your dist tree. But for those exceptional servers,

I am running puppet 3.1.1 and have a site.pp which roughly looks like this site.pp: node basenode { include common } node ''server1'' inherits basenode { include role::appserver } node ''server2'' inherits basenode { include role::webserver } And my common module includes lots of different types of classes for creating base directories, adding in

Hi, Just a quick query about some things that crop up when I run ''puppetd --test''. Every time I run this command I always see the following output, which I think is strange as the ''man'' package has been installed previously and the firewall service is definitely running. Has anybody got any suggestions as to why puppet thinks it needs to install the man

hello guys, I am trying to incorporate run stages into my puppet setup. I''ve been working with this for a few days and I haven''t quite got the hang of it yet... When I attempt my puppet run this is the error I see: ------------------------------------------------ [root@chromews21 ~]# puppetd -t err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

I am trying to override variables in a class that is defined in the default node profile. I want parent class to be included in every single node, but override its variables in others. I have tried it several different ways now, and every single time the variables either become unset (undefined) or are set to the value of the first if statement. Here is my current iteration of failure.

Hello, I''m configuring my linux server with puppet open and is ok. My question is the next; I''ve a declared in mi nodes.pp the next: [.............] node ''basenode'' { include ''baseos'' include ''motd'' import ''useradd.pp'' } #All nodes for my domain node /.*\.example\.com/ inherits

I''ve been having a mess of a time using this module, which stinks because its behavior is EXACTLY what I am looking for... whenever I bootstrap new rabbitMQ nodes I want to add them to our HAProxy instance. Here''s my relevant site.pp entries: node /^rabbit.*/ inherits basenode { @@haproxy::balancermember { $fqdn: listening_service => ''messaging00'',

I'm confused about the status of auth agent forwarding while using v2 protocols. I found an old newsgroup post that said it was not available but an entry in the ChangeLog entry dated 20001113 seems to indicate that it was added. So. Does agent forwarding work while using v2 protocols? I've been unable to get it to work since I switched to using v2. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Beuchler

Hi All, I asked on IRC but didn''t have everything organized and most people seemed busy. Hoping someone can see what I''m missing here. I''m trying to create a network module, used similar to the ''users'' configuration described in the Best Practices document. I have a users module which has that and it works with similar syntax to below. If I

Is it possible to define variable at this level. I need to pass the monit config file name ( sometimes its monitrc sometimes in not ). Here is what I have. # /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp node basenode { include postgresql include monit include wiki include apace } node ''freebeerontuesdays.com'' inherits basenode { } -- You received this message because you are

OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Puppet: 0.22.4 OS: CentOS 5.0 Puppet: 0.23.2 Is it currently not possible for puppetd to upgrade itself (0.22.4 -> 0.23.2)? I tried it, and when puppetd attempted to restart itself (using the init provider), it failed to start back up. Perhaps the init provider needs to close all file handles before executing the rc.d scripts? Additionally, I had puppetd update its
