Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

My understanding was that at the beginning of each run the puppetmaster imports all modules so that any includes at the top level are applied directly. However, I am not so sure anymore. I''ve been tracing how this works and it seems like modules are included more lazily. In other words, when able_to_import is called seems like when the magic happens, rather than up front when the run

When attempting to execute the mcollective puppet plugin: # mco puppet runonce -v aixl : execution expired aixj : execution expired I get an error, ''execution expired'' on some hosts.

So I''m trying to get multiple environments to work with puppet 0.25.1 on ubuntu 8.04 and no matter what I do, puppet just completely ignores any environment setting. There''s really next to no information in terms of configuration on the multiple environments documentation page (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMultipleEnvironments) other than saying that the

Most of my machines are pretty cookie-cutter, so I have one class and config file setup for different services. For example, pretty much have one hosts.allow that goes out everywhere. However, there are always exceptions. So I have 3 hosts that have similar configs but have more things open, so what''s the ''best practice'' way to centralize those? Do I really need to

Hi, I am running puppet 2.6.12 on a SLES11SP1 server. I get the following error message as part of the puppet catalog run on a SLED11SP1 client.

So.. I''ve been fighting with trying to get puppet to include/execute module in a certain order for several weeks now. I kind of have something hacked together, but it scares me a bit since I don''t know exactly what is happening. I don''t suppose there''s still an easy way to do this....?

I have a puppet master install which uses puppetdb. I also have puppet dashboard installed with the inventory service running. I want multiple puppet masters using a single puppetDB server. Puppetdb is installed on separate vm. How can I get the dashboard inventory to use the puppetdb server to get the inventory records? Where do I configure the dashboard inventory so it uses puppetdb? I

Hi list, Reading the thread "can a class require an other class?" it''s been mentioned that perhaps one way forward for the Puppet language is to phase out the include keyword in favour of parametrised classes. I''m thinking of my Puppet and the several levels of include chaining I use and I''m wondering how on earth that''d be possible. Maybe

hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

I just set up the latest dashboard release candidate in hopes of trying out the new inventory service. After modifying the puppet- dashboard config to use the inventory service and after changing my auth.conf I gave it a whirl but ran into some issues.. I initially tried using fact_terminus = yaml and was able to do some queries via curl. I''m currently using storeconfigs so setting up

PuppetDB, a component of the Puppet Data Library, is a centralized storage daemon for auto-generated data. This initial release of PuppetDB targets the storage of catalogs and facts: * It’s a drop-in, 100% compatible replacement for storeconfigs * It’s a drop-in, 100% compatible replacement for inventory service * It hooks into your Puppet infrastructure using Puppet’s pre-existing

Group - I''m putting a presentation together for $work (a large .gov) and I want to make sure I get my facts (pun intended) straight ... Are the following steps for Facter-Client-Server interaction correct (I have a feeling not): 1. Client puppet run is initiated (via regular schedule, puppetrun, or puppetd) 2. The client contacts the server and downloads any custom facts it does not

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.
