similar to: File resource "owner" not found, only during automatic puppet runs

Does anyone have some examples of using this create_resources function, https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources, ? Based on the README example I can''t figure out exactly how to change from using defines to using this function. Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of create_resources...is it to replace defines, or is it to allow ENCs (for example) to use a define? Below

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

Hello, I would like to find a few to use files available in a module for the execution of a particular resource, without having to stage the file explicitly onto the client and possibly having to clean it up afterwards. (This could also apply to content coming from templates.) The use-cases I have in mind are: running a SQL file (to set up some content in a database), extracting an archive

For some reason I am unable to run "dry runs" of the puppet client on my puppetmaster server. Running puppetd with the --test, --noop and verbose / debug flags results in nothing for about a minute or two then this output... $ time puppetd --test --noop -v err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not

Does anyone know where I can get the latest puppet, 2.7.1 as RPM''s? The spec file that comes with the puppet 2.7.1 source is broken again, and only version 0.25.5 seems to be available via EPEL, which means that the website''s assertion that you can get puppet as an RPM from there is somewhat untrue. Douglas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

I have my 640GB USB drive connected to a CentOS 5 server and using fdisk, it seems to show a partition of the correct size, /dev/sdd1, but after mounting, the drive shows only 244M size. Does the message received when running fdisk below mean I should reformat this drive, I can't seemed to figure out how to do that with fdisk. Can someone tell me how to reformat, if needed? The drive is empty,

I have modified /etc/hosts file with IP address and hostname entries. However, host command is returning 'Host vhost1.example.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)'. Also, apache is returning error on start as '[error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name vhost1.example.com-- ignoring!' . The ssh worked fine and resolved the hostname correctly (ssh from same system to

Hi all, I''m having trouble with a particular recipe, but I don''t know which one! I''m not getting an error message, puppetd simply hangs (does not respond, needs a kill -9 to stop). These same recipes work correctly on other nodes (no problems there). Now I wanted to find the exact line that causes the problem, but I seem to be unable to make puppetd log the resource

Hello Luke, After our services do now successfully restart, we hit now the already opened bug where the restarted service takes over puppetd port if it''s configured to listen. One solution is to remove the listen option but it''s very nice to invoke a puppetrun on the clients from the central server without waiting for its next run. Where you already able to take a look? It

I am consistently getting the following error from puppetd when an exec resource is triggered by a refresh event: Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Reopening log files Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.3 Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting configuration run Apr 23 10:36:12 mailhub puppetd[37884]:

Hi All, I would like to pick your brains as to the best way to configure the below senario within puppet. I am currently configuring puppet for our environment and have seperated development/back office from production through configuring roles for each server to identify them as such. What i need to be able todo is have the production servers only update outside of office hours, but have the

Hi all, following http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/UsingMongrel it says that hostkey/cert must be owned by puppet:puppet. I tried to keep original path (and also owner) of both files and seems to puppet still works... what problems could it cause to my conf? # grep lib mongrel.conf SSLCertificateFile /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/gridinstall.pic.es.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile

I am unable to get the #includedir function to work with sudo. This works just fine on all my CentOS 5.6 servers, but on 6 it is being ignored. I have this line in the file /etc/sudoers.d/zabbix-puppet zabbix ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/lib/zabbix/bin/start_puppet However sudo still requires a password. If I put that same line into /etc/sudoers file , there is no password prompt. At the end of my

Hi, installing puppet at my first site was quite easy (not w/o problems, but still). At the second site, I''ve run into something more serious. First things first - I install puppetmaster on existing server, used to keep LDAP db (my puppetmaster DOES NOT use LDAP, it just tries to coexist on the same machine). The thing is, I need to puppet this baby, so I''m running into a

I am finding that the puppetlabs-apache module is somehow adding 30-60 seconds onto a host''s catalog compile time when the puppetmaster has no other hosts contacting or generating catalogs. The Puppetmaster is setup to use Puppet-2.7.18 - Apache & Passenger. RIght now only 2 hosts are even configured to use this new PM, the PM itself and a Foreman host. With neither hosts

Hi- Recently starting using puppet while migrating an existing messy group of systems to some nice new hardware. Things are going incredibly well, and puppet''s functioning great. Have a bit of a headache. I''d like to keep myself from duplicating lots of included classes. Lets say I have this (snippet of a) class: class dbserver { file { "/etc/my_${db}.cnf":

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
