Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

hello,all I write a function. this function will write the client fqdn to a file. But this function only run one time when the puppetmaster recompile the configuration. How can let this function run every time when a client connect to the puppetmaster ? please help me. -- Huang Mingyou

Hi everyone, I have a puppet master/client infrastructure setup with apache. When on the same datacenter I don''t have any problem. I am trying to use another datacenter, so I setup the fileserver.conf as followed: # Files in the /path/to/files directory will be served # at puppet:///mount_point/. [modules] allow *.datacenter1 allow *.datacenter2 [plugins]

Hi, I am trying to use Hiera in puppet 3 and I have two nodes that both need the same configuration. In this case they are two web servers which have the same apache configuration. Rather than creating two seperate hiera files for node1.yaml and node2.yaml is there a way to group these by role (e.g. webserver.yaml)? I want to avoid duplicating the configuration if possible and keep the data

Let''s say I have two different geographic sites. They are pretty much identical ie. each site has a machine called web1 which is a web server, etc. Except there are couple site-specific settings ie. outgoing DNS servers are different, SSL certs are different etc. On the puppetmaster I can put in a file called e.g. /etc/sideid which would uniquely identify a site ie. siteX or siteY.

Is there a condition test to see if a file exists on the puppetmaster? I have about 15 different license files that are loaded on thirteen servers. Not every license goes on every server. I''d like to serve the files only if they exist on the puppet master server. I''m thinking of doing it like this: define install_license($host) {

Hello, Let''s consider the scenario when a client node in a puppet environment gets compromised. In case some of the puppet modules make decisions based on agent facts, these modules are potentially exposed to abuse from the malicious puppet agent. For example, if a class has: if $some_fact == ''some value'' { # deploy some configuration } then the compromised node

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

I have a test area network that is not routed to the production network because of IP address space re-use between the two networks. I would like the puppetmaster to serve both the production and test area networks. The puppetmaster is on the production network. I understand the puppet to puppetmaster connect to be HTTP using SSL. Can I somehow setup the puppet clients to use an HTTP

Hello Puppet list, I am taking over the puppet configuration of a sysadmin who left, and am having troubles deploying puppet to a new node. We are using puppet v2.7.3 both on the client and the puppetmaster, on Ubuntu 10.10. The node asks for a certificate fine, and I signed it on the puppetmaster. For the following logs extract I ve replaced the FQDN of my node by puppet.example.com. When doing

I''m running in circles with this issue... I accidentally did a ''puppetca --clean --all'' and lost all certificates. I was able to get the puppetmaster running and re-created certificates for the client system, but I get the following error: warning: peer certificate won''t be verified in this SSL session info: Caching certificate for w0f.lagged.com info:

Hi all. I am testing 0.25.4 to upgrade from 0.23.2. In testing, I found two strange messages on 0.25.4 which I have never found on 0.24.3.

I need to get an array of hostnames of clients of the puppet server. There doesn''t seem to be a simple way to do this so I''ve tried a few methods. I''ve tried a curl expression in a fact like this: curl -s -k -H "Accept: yaml" https://localhost:8140/production/facts_search/search?facts.nodetypet=testnodes where I''ve got a nodetype fact which works

Hello! I''ve been trying to use facts from Facter in a custom function. I''ve been following Matthew''s entry in the wiki (http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions). What i''m seeing is that Facter[''fqdn''].value is always returning the fqdn of the puppetmaster host. I was expecting the fqdn of the client host.
