Hello! In my puppet configuration I need to get some data from database. Ie.: I''ve got information about my all hosts in db - thier name, mac addresses, ip addresses, what to backup from this host etc. For now it''s just .xml file, but it could be sql db, or ldap directory. Then, using this small "database", I want to generate configuration using puppet - ie.:

Hi. I wonder if it is possible to use more complex data structures in templates than simple variables and arrays? I have been trying nested arrays, as well as nested arrays and hashes, but nothing seems to work (more specifically, nested arrays seem to be flattened into a single array). Having only simple variables and arrays is a little limiting. Something like the Perl-based Template Toolkit

As everyone probably realizes, I''m getting swamped with incoming problems and tickets and I still need help triaging the tickets. James Turnbull has volunteered to help some, but I think we need more than one person. We''ve had a few people step in once or twice, but I''d like to be able to depend on Unreviewed tickets getting handled by someone else, rather

Not sure if people are already aware of this, but it might save someone some time in the future.

HI, i''m currently trying to connect a rails app using the "her" gem/library (since active ressource is gone since rails 4) to Puppet''s REST API. Now, "her" or activeressource both speak json, while Puppet speaks pson, which should be nearly the same according to some posts here. Communication already works but it seems that the response objects are not

I''ve been hitting this issue for a long time. well over a year and I guess it''s time to start pushing it to try to find the root cause. I''ve seen this reported several times in the past but I''ve never seen a resolution found for this exact problems. There are other root causes for pson errors that have been resolved, but not for the ones describing my

I''m almost afraid to ask because this probably sticks out like a sore thumb on the wiki somewhere, and I''m just not seeing it. But I have a bunch of files with the same owner/mode. Is there a way to somehow collapse these, so that all I repeat is the file name? Example: file { "/opt/test/1": owner => "jtan", group =>

Hello! I''m trying to solve small problem - linux server AND windows clients AND managing this using puppet :) As far as I know puppet don''t work under windws, but I''m still using it on linux side.

I''m running Puppet 2.7.1 on the master as well as the agent and just received a new error which doesn''t actually reference a module or a file, so I''m somewhat stuck as to how to debug this.

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

Hello, I am running a puppet master version 2.7.5 on Centos 5.7 and a puppet agent version 2.7.5. I am simply trying to apply changes to files by defining a file resource in my manifest.
