similar to: Push out all templates in a directory.

If I''m pushing out a bunch of files in a directory, like this... file { "/usr/local/lg/bin/": source => "puppet://${server}/usr/local/lg/bin", mode => 755, owner => "root", group => "root", recurse => true, ignore => ".svn"; } This sets both

I''ve got a directory, /u01/app that is owned by oracle.oinstall. I have this in my manifest: # # Mount point for the Oracle database. # ''/u01/app'': device => ''/dev/xvdo'', atboot => true, ensure => mounted, fstype => ''ext4'',

Ok, what am I doing wrong here? I''m including splunkforwarder::app_server and it''s all working except that it appears that splunkforwarder::common isn''t including splunkforwarder::enabled... class splunkforwarder::enabled { service { ''splunkforwarder'': ensure => running, enable => true,

All, I was looking at the new feature of puppet to manage switches, and it says: "A current limitation is that it isn’t possible to have 2 switches with the same interface name" Does this mean that if one switch has an interface called FastEthernet 0/1, that puppet can''t manage a second switch with an interface called FastEthernet 0/1? If so, that probably means you can

I just upgraded puppet from 0.25.5 to 0.26, and I''m getting this: (/Stage[main]/Repo::Livegamer_software_base/Yumrepo[Livegamer-Software-Base]) Could not evaluate: File /etc/yum.conf does not contain a main section However, my /etc/yum.conf contains this. What''s wrong with that? Is puppet smoking crack? [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2

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

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

Seems like nodes are matching the default node before they are matching the more specific nodes. My site.pp has: include "nodes/*.pp" In the nodes directory are two files, default.pp and nagios_server.pp. default.pp: node default { include role::common } nagios_server.pp: node ''mon01.us1.xxx.com'' { $node_env = "production" include

I''m confused about this... https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/ I see a lot of functions there that are the same as the ones that come standard with puppet. If I create a module and dump this stuff in there, what happens to the existing stuff? How does puppet know which one to use?

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

I am trying to write a module for tripwire. I need to push out the twcfg.txt and twpol.txt files only if the tw.cfg and tw.pol files do not currently exist. How can do I this with File{}? I''m can''t seem to find a way to do it. In general times, how can you deploy file A only when file B does not exist? And... tripwire... what a mess. I am trying to use push out the site key,

Couple of questions. Firstly, what''s the plugin error about? puppet agent --onetime --test --verbose info: Retrieving plugin err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog for mon01.ap1.xxx.com info: Applying configuration version ''1346878830'' err:

I keep getting this in /var/log/messages every time a client grabs a catalog... Report store failed: Got 1 failure(s) while initializing: change from absent to directory failed: Failed to set owner to ''0'': Operation not permitted - /var/lib/puppet/reports/app01.den.xxx.com Why?

Anyone, I''ve read this doc several times: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html As a whole, it really doesn''t make sense. It seems pretty obvious it was written by someone with deep knowledge of the subject, but there is little context for someone like me. Is there better documentation somewhere?

I don''t get it. I just wrote a simple test custom fact in ruby (ugh, I hate ruby) and was able to access it as a variable on the client side. However, it doesn''t appear in the facter output.

I downloaded the latest version of puppet 2.6.0 today, and still can''t get parameterised classes to work. At least, I think it''s 2.6.0... the version number in the RPM spec file says 0.25.5. This simple example: /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/pax/name01.pax.xxx.com.pp: node ''name01.pax.xxx.com'' { class { amodule::afunc: version => "1.0" } }

Oh my god.... what is this? Getting this on first boot of new client.

Question... for those that have multiple environments, dev, prod etc... do you share your modules directory, or does each environment have it''s own copy of the modules directory?

Here we go with puppet 0.25 certificate problems again. I had a system where puppet was running fine. I reinstalled it. Running puppet on the client causes this: "Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key". Fine... so I run ''puppetca --clean
