Hi all, I''ve noticed that facter version superior from epel do not display lsbmajdistrelease fact: # facter lsbmajdistrelease 5 # rpm -qa|grep facter facter-1.5.5-1.el5 # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # facter lsbmajdistrelease # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # rpm -qa|grep facter

Folks: I''ve started to play around with the comprehensive integrated module set from example42 (http://www.example42.com/). Following the instructions, I set up one node as a nagios server, with ''include nagios''. I set up another node to be monitored via nagios, with ''include nagios::target". I set $monitor=true for the base node, which is inherited by

I have set up puppet to create a facts.yaml file for mcollective using the following line: content => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime.*|timestamp|.*free|macaddress.*|ipaddress)/ }.to_yaml %>"), However, it is creating a lot of unnecessary changes by reordering the facts in the yaml output as you can see in the diff output between to

I''m troubled with a node-definition not able to resolve a class: Could not find class rhnsd::common at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp: 8 on node X Content of manifest/site.pp: import "nodes.pp" [...] The layout of modules/rhnsd/ is: |-- files | `-- up2date-rhn |-- manifests | |-- client.pp | |-- common.pp | |-- init.pp | `-- rhn.pp A `cat'' from each

Hi, My dilemma is how should I write my module to be "next-gen" ? Not from a code point of view but from a design/layout point of view. We wrote our modules for 2.6.x like every beginner would have done: write everything in init.pp. But now, the fashion is to use parameterized classes and Hiera which we will use with puppet 2.7.x. I mainly followed/watched what Example42 was doing.

Hi all, I''m looking at changing the operatingsystemrelease fact for Red Hat. Linux currently just uses the kernel release as the operating system release, but I''ve got a client who wants the release to have both the specific distro (e.g., AS or EL) and the release (e.g., 3 or 4). Will this particularly annoy anyone? Anyone want to help make the release string work on

Hi all, I''ve finally gotten around to releasing Facter 1.5. As the version bump implies, this is a relatively significant release (for a 2.3k line program, anyway). Mostly, the biggest change is refactoring the code internally so that all of the functionality is split into separate classes in separate files. Also, the facts are all loaded on-demand, which provides dramatic

Hi All, I have puppet server and client ready. I found JBOSS module and manifests under https://github.com/example42/puppet-jboss/<https://github.com/example42/puppet-jboss/blob/master/manifests/init.pp> and imported it through git.

I''m running puppet 0.24.6 on CentOS 5.2 from a puppetmaster on a virtual server to a variety of client servers both virtual and metal running either CentOS 5.2 or Fedora Core 10. I want to extend this to servers running RHEL 5 (and 6) in the near future. My problem is I have puppet set up with all repositories (mirrored locally using cobbler) included in one file in

So, I''ve been looking into the params pattern for writing modules, ie. having a params.pp file that init.pp inherits from as a place to use custom logic to set variables, and it seems very useful. I do have one question that I''m hoping someone can answer. If, for example, I look at an example42 module, everything is in params.pp. On the other hand, looking at, say,

Greetings, We have purchased an IBM BladeCenter and I am in the process of testing Linux installation on these things (boot off SAN i.e. qla2300 driver, not using internal drives). My distro of choice is Debian, however, since I'm really not interested in trying to hand compile all the drivers, I decided to try CentOS (which I'm so far very impressed with). On boot, as with the

Hello all, I use puppetmaster on a Debian Squeeze server (packaged from Debian 2.6.2-4) I am using a template for Debian Servers which works great for Lenny in order to update my sources.list automagically, here goes: deb http://ftp.ie.debian.org/debian <%= lsbdistcodename %> main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ <%= lsbdistcodename %>/updates main Now the problem

Hi, I''m building a staging environement and I would like it to be able to redeploy automatically, after each commit - or every hour, some applications. Those applications are right now deployed and set up by puppet. I wonder if I should use puppet to redeploy those applications after each commit, and if I should how trigger, on the puppet, a full redeployement of the application ? --

i'm not sure how to create different logon scripts for different users. right now i have one logon script called 'logon.bat' that maps all users to a server share and syncs the time with the server. i need to be able to map different users to different server shares. not all users should be mapped to all server shares. these should be automatic mappings. for example: user1 should

Just started a rollout of centos 6.x across our Puppet deployment (100-odd servers). what fact would people suggest I use to distinguish 5.x from 6.x (quite a lot of subsystems are different between major releases)? lsb* facts don''t seem to be present on centos 6 - is this an EPEL bug, or have they just been removed in Facter? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are

Hi All, In my set-up, I''ve got a cron job that triggers a Puppet run every 20 minutes. I''ve found that on approximately 13 nodes (out of 166), puppetd just hangs. I have to go in, kill the process, remove /var/lib/puppet/state/puppetdlock, and run puppet again and then it''s fine. After a while, it just hangs again so I have to go in, kill the process, etc. Any ideas?

Is there a way to populate this tab when I join a computer to the domain using samba? using this command net ads join -U administrator creates the AD Object. I don't see an option to net when reading the man page to include the OS specs Maybe use --config-file option? I don't see anything in the smb.conf file that would set any of that information. # net --version Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu

What is the resource for example42''s yum module on a Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) machine? example42 came with a CentOS5 directory under modules/yum/files; what is that? Do I need to build that for the other OS platforms I will be supporting? Can I download a prebuilt that? What is that called so I can search for it?

In order to contribute to the Forge in a sane and quick way I think it''s needed a way to upload new releases in a scriptable way. There''s a (long lasting) ticket open for that: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3790 but in the meantime I wonder if someone has managed to find a way to obtain the same result with some script. It shouldn''t be difficult. I tried,
