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

Anyone able to explain why "$fqdn" works and "$environment" doesn''t in: $extlookup_precedence=["%{fqdn}","%{environment}","common"] How to reproduce it: ----------------------------- - In "/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp" : $extlookup_datadir = "/etc/puppet/manifests/extdata"

Can I use a template in site.pp? I have a templates directory in my /etc/puppet directory which has my template, but i get this error message: Wed Dec 19 09:19:23 -0800 2012 Puppet (err): Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find template ''server.xml.erb'' at /etc/puppet/manifests/tcuser.pp:52 on node

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

Hi, I have looked all over the place and can''t seem to find a complete answer to my query I am setting up MCollective to run alongside my puppet deployment and am having some problems getting it to play as I want it to Basically, I need to make sure that puppet NEVER makes any changes without them being triggered by someone (I honestly can''t see how anyone would ever want

I''m trying to upgrade from 2.6.7 to to 2.7.6 and I''m running into an issue in my extlookup() calls. A lot of the variables which should be defined aren''t defined within extlookup.rb. I''ve tested 2.6.7 agent and 2.7.5 agent against the 2.6.7 master and 2.7.6 master. I adjusted extlookup.rb slightly to provide some debug output.

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

Hi, are there any good ways of scripting an inventory of managed resources on all nodes? I''ve found the inventory script by R.I.Pienaar ( http://www.devco.net/archives/2010/02/26/what_does_puppet_manage_on_a_node-2.php) which does what I want but only locally on each client. Is there any native way of syncing the client_yaml data centrally or any other way of doing this? I need a

With 0.25 we can use the split function to parse a string in to an array. In puppet how can I reference a single element of that array? $temp = "1,2,3,4" Then i''d lilke to do : $val = split($temp,'','')[0] Thanks, Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Hello All, Moving from 2.5 to 2.6.2 and I was wondering if there is a preferred directory structure for using multiple environments? Does it work much different in 2.6 than in 2.5? When I made the move I assumed (I know) that my current structure and configurations would just roll over but that isn''t the case. Thanks, Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Hi, I''m pretty sure I once did some experiments with running puppet wihtout a puppertmasterd - but having a "normal" puppet manifests and modules structure in /etc/puppet. Sadly, I can''t find how to do that anymore. I know I can write plain puppet instructions in a file.pp and run them plainly - but I want the whole config as if it would reside on a server) When I

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

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.

I am trying to get a custom fact to sync. The fact is in a module. It will sync if I run puppet with "--pluginsync" but not otherwise. I have "pluginsync=true" in my puppet.conf. 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.

In general, the loading/import/namespacing mechanism is really something that I cannot wrap my head around, even after reading the relevant sections in the documentation. Specifically, I''m trying to put together a module. I believe I have the correct module structure: $ find . ./test.pp ./graphite ./graphite/manifests ./graphite/manifests/init.pp ./graphite/files

I''m running Puppet v2.7.14. I have a puppet master server with Hiera and it works great. I also want to be able to apply my manifests locally on a node. I have installed Hiera on my node and I can verify using the Hiera command line application that values can be looked up: user@tag5-4-qa-sjc:~$ hiera corp_puppet_server region=northamerica datacenter=sjc environment=qa --debug DEBUG:

Hello, Everybody! I need to allow my developers to run a special script on QA servers and nowhere else. I put this sort of thing in place: class app-server { packages: foo:; bar:; baz:; if $environment == ''qa'' { file { ''a'': content => ... } } which feels kinda kludgey to me. Is there a better way to handle unique cases like this

Hello folks, At Stanford, we use modules to define every possible service, package, feature in the traditional sense (apache, ntp, iptables, etc). Then, for clients (such as other departments) and "services" (such as our mailman infrastructure, our ldap infrastructure, etc), we use manifests in /master/manifests and distributable files in /dist/ and templates in /master/templates.
