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"

Hi, I''m having a problem with extlookup not respecting the ''certname'' parameter[1].  When executing a puppet run with either the --certname or --fqdn parameters, it ends up using the specified SSL certificate and gets the correct node definition applied from the puppetmaster.  However, it still retrieves extlookup data using the node''s actual FQDN, not the one

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.

Hmmm.... So I was just trying the extlookup function that comes with puppet 2.6.1. It now lets you do this: $version = extlookup("rsyslog_version", "present", "packages") which, according to the documentation: # This will look for a version configured in packages.csv and then in the rest as configured # by $extlookup_precedence if it''s not found anywhere

Running puppet 2.6.11 opensource on Red Hat 5.6 client. I cannot explain this logically but I have a directory structure like so: /etc/puppet/manifests/hiera/hostgroups/ with directories for each of my application areas like so: *clickz core devel dns icross iswap itch puppet test ubuntu* *What is weird is that if I put anything under the directory named "core", the ext

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

Hi, We currently use ldap ENC to set server role variables and extlookup to set domain or environment variables. I have a suggestion regarding ldap use as an ENC - if a node within ldap has the environment attribute set then it should inherit/mixin (if available) from a node named after it''s environment. It could be populated with only puppetVar type attributes so that any environment

Is there a way to use send multiple parameter values using puppet dashboard ENC? For example, nameserver = 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or perhaps nameserver = [''10.0.0.1'',''10.0.0.2''} then the template erb file can loop through each of the nameserver values to set up mulitple nameservers in resolve.conf?

Trying to use extlookup from within template i use <%= scope.function_extlookup("blah") %> but get the undefined method `function_extlookup'' error According to http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html#access-to-variables-and-puppet-functions-with-the-scope-object this should work.

Hi, Is it possible to use facts from external nodes via stored configs, based on a filter such as class? To illustrate, I provide the following use case ; class nagios::nrpe { # No such resource "ip". I''d like to use "ip" fact of any node that is assigned to class "nagios::server" $nagios_servers = Ip <<| class="nagios::server"

Oh boy. I''m a bit stuck here. I just moved our puppet config into environments, and now puppet won''t serve up any files. (/Stage[yum]/Yum::Client/File[/etc/yum.conf]) Could not evaluate: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/pax_prod/yum/client/etc/yum.conf Could not retrieve file metadata for puppet:///pax_prod/yum/client/etc/yum.conf: Error 400 on

Hi, Is there any possibility to do different environments(puppet classes) per organization/location based on a smart proxy(puppet master)? Or any plans to implement this?

Hi all, Apologies if this has been dealt with before, but I haven''t managed to find an answer yet. I have a working "dynamic environments" setup: * A gitolite repository (on a dedicated host) with multiple branches - one for each environment. * I use r10k ro deploy the environments on the master to $confdir/environments/$::environment. This all works *really* well, but I

Hi puppet users, We''ve got a puppet (0.24.8) implementation with two environments, called production and testing. We''ve also got a Puppet Dashboard (1.0) instance up and running, which is receiving and displaying reports from hosts in both of the environments. We would like to start using the dashboard as an external node classification tool, so I''ve taken the example

Hello every one, I have looked at a lots of threads in the Puppet User group but I did not find a clear answer or explanation how custom functions work.... Here is my current setup : * I have *2 "environments"*. working fine /etc/puppet/environments/production/ /etc/puppet/environments/test/ * I have a version of my function already working in production * According to the

I''ve setup dynamic environments using git but I''m confused about how environments are actually supposed to be used. We''re a small ISP and have freeradius servers, VPN servers and web servers. I''ve been using environments to enable me as the sysadmin to build and test new manifests/modules before deploying them to our production servers. I have dedicated

Imho, should be intesting some idea on the integration of puppet in large corporation, the possible workflow, the separation of duty. For example using something as gitolite, the integration with quality control of some sort, the reporting. I have read something in pro puppet : i am sorry but most of that is discussed there in this area is very basic. Best regards ----Messaggio originale---- Da:

I started getting the following errors from my puppet master: > Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter provider at /some/module/manifests/foo.pp The module would vary, but the error was always the same. I started googling, searching lists, etc. And turned up a whole bucket load of issues that all seem related and are all unresolved:
