What does this message mean: [root@pirates puppet]# rm -rf /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ [root@pirates puppet]# puppet cert --version 2.6.3 [root@pirates puppet]# puppet cert notice: Signed certificate request for ca notice: Rebuilding inventory file Invalid method to apply It seems to have created the ca and other things just fine.

I want to be able to have Puppet determine which file to use as the source of a template() call in a manner similar to the source parameter. Basically, I want to have a file resource that will use the most appropriate file for a template. While I can do: file { "file.conf" : source => [ "puppet:///module/file.conf.${hostname}",

Inspired by the recent thread titled "Array input of dirs, ensuring their existence" I thought I''d write up the problem I''m running into. I was chatting on irc about it, I don''t think puppet has a clean solution. Like the other poster, I''m defining an object that takes an array. In my case, I''m defining gpg keystore, which can contain a

Hello All, I am trying to put puppet into push mode only. The instructions I''ve seen have said to put listen=true in puppet.conf but that doesn''t seem to have stopped the pull every 30 minutes. What else needs to be set? Thanks, Jim -- “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.

I tried to use a Puppet variable named "$memory" and access it from a template, like this: $memory = 4711 file { "/tmp/test.txt": content => inline_template("memory = <%= memory %>\n"); } One would think that my file would contain "memory = 4711" after that, but instead the memory variable seems to hold a

I have a few settings that change based on the network that a system is in, and I have a heterogeneous collection of networks (a few /24s, some /25s, a /29 and a couple /27s, and hey look a /16 in rfc1918 space and...). So I can''t do simple regex matches on dotted-quad IP notation and expect to get a complete story. What I''d like is something like, I dunno... $nameserver =

I''ve got this: file { ''/opt/sugarsync/tomcat/tomcat-home/current'': ensure => "tomcat-$config[''tomcat_version_server'']"; where $config[''tomcat_version_server''] was set with extlookup (the yaml one), by loading: --- tomcat_config: tomcat_version_server: 6.0.20-1 tomcat_version_libs: 1.0-1

C:\Users\ml623>puppet --version 2.7.7 Puppet complains about a package resource I am trying to use saying: Invalid parameter install_options The resource is defined as: package { "splunk": name => $gu_splunk::client::splunk_package, provider => ''msi'', ensure => installed, source =>

I thought I read somewhere in Puppet docs/wiki... that it is "recommended" to avoid spaces in file paths, or some similar verbiage, but now I cant find it. Does Puppet have any known issues with spaces in file paths? It would of course scare Windows admins away... So I hope I am wrong in thinking I read that.

Hi, am trying this rule: firewall { ''100 allow ssh from GUNET'': proto => ''tcp'', dport => ''22'', source => [''10.0.0.0/8'',''192.168.0.0/16'',], action => accept, } and it only seems to add a rule for the first subnet. The second is silently

In our environ, there are several services that are deployed via an NFS mount, so that the executables and configs are consistent across the board. Is there any reason why this couldn''t be done with Puppet? For example, each individual system would contain its own /etc/puppet and rc.d and pid files -- but the primary deployment would come from NFS. For that matter, as Enterprise

I have this in a template: ===============cut here===================== # Allow ICMP traffic -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT <% if netbackup_master_servers %> <% netbackup_master_servers.each do |master_server| -%> # Allow communication with NetBackup master server <%= master_server[0] %> -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s <%= master_server[1]

Anybody knows what this error, bellow, means, the target file, C:/Splunk/etc/system/local/inputs.conf, does exist. sometimes, if I delete the file, it does actually create it, but never update it if it exists and changed... The resource is defined as:     file { "splunk_inputs":        owner   => SYSTEM,        group => SYSTEM,        mode    => 664,        require =>

Hello all, This is not a puppet proper issue of course.. but I was wondering if any of you could share some thoughts... When you deploy a system like Puppet at a large park of systems, you instantly increase the efficacy of mistakes and bugs in destroying the environment.... How do you deal with that? I would be interested in any experience or input, especially puppet proper best practices...

Hello , There is a way to source /etc/profile inside puppet on demand? My problem is that I install Java, afterwards I set JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/profile. After Java is installed, a gem which depends on Java starts to install ... but as it needs JAVA_HOME environment to be set, it fails. I am not sure what can I do ...

I noticed that is if I uninstall an MSI that was installed by Puppet, Puppet does not notice. Looking at the source I see it might be checking for a state file to know whether a package is installed or not: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\db\package\msi\SplunkForwarder.yml So one has to rememebr to delete that too.... Is this design not a problem? Thanks, Mohamed. -- You received this
