Hi all, We''re writing a few scripts at the moment that could really make use of Facter, however the vast majority of them team (including my self!) are not proficient in Ruby, however they are highly proficient in other languages such as (dare I say it!) Python. Is there (or are there any plans to!) release bindings for other languages to enable facts to be used in scripts other

I''ve been thinking a lot about running mcollective on my production servers recently, especially about its nice integration with puppet (using facts and so on). However I''ve got some concern about its scalability - how publish/subscribe middleware scales in terms of speed and flooding the network. I run about 2000 servers. Has anyone got any experience running mcollective on

Hi all, First off, we''re running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0. Now, I''m using tildes in a template to prevent newlines from appearing but ruby/puppet is choking on them. */tmp/puppet$ cat test.erb* Line 1: Line 2 will exist if running on CentOS. <% if operatingsystem == "CentOS" ~%> Line 2: Yay, we''re running CentOS. <% end ~%>

Thanks everyone for your quick responses to my questions. I''m trying to get templates working. I want to pull the template down from the puppet server, then use it. It looks like the require parameter is not being enforced when using the content parameter so the template can''t be found. This doesn''t work: file { "/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf" :

Hello, I am examining whether puppet meets our needs. I can''t find the answer to two questions I am looking to answer, hopefully someone can help. 1. Can puppet be used to manage different classes of the same computers, e.g. do something on the apache test farm, if it works then do it on the apache live farm; and is this done cleanly? 2. How are package updates (e.g. yum update/yum

Hello, I did make a stupid fault: not commiting changes to version control :-( After the installation of puppet-dashboard, I added a recipe to add report = true to puppet config files on clients. Now all Puppet clients don''t update because of an error... What can be the various reasons for an ''400'' error?? I guess it has something to do with rights. Jun 28 09:52:36 pm

Shouldn''t the command line option and puppet.conf option have the same results? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely.
