C:\Users\ml623>puppet --version 2.7.7 Puppet complains about a package resource I am trying to use saying: Invalid parameter install_options The resource is defined as: package { "splunk": name => $gu_splunk::client::splunk_package, provider => ''msi'', ensure => installed, source =>

Anybody knows what this error, bellow, means, the target file, C:/Splunk/etc/system/local/inputs.conf, does exist. sometimes, if I delete the file, it does actually create it, but never update it if it exists and changed... The resource is defined as:     file { "splunk_inputs":        owner   => SYSTEM,        group => SYSTEM,        mode    => 664,        require =>

I noticed that is if I uninstall an MSI that was installed by Puppet, Puppet does not notice. Looking at the source I see it might be checking for a state file to know whether a package is installed or not: C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\puppet\var\db\package\msi\SplunkForwarder.yml So one has to rememebr to delete that too.... Is this design not a problem? Thanks, Mohamed. -- You received this

In our environ, there are several services that are deployed via an NFS mount, so that the executables and configs are consistent across the board. Is there any reason why this couldn''t be done with Puppet? For example, each individual system would contain its own /etc/puppet and rc.d and pid files -- but the primary deployment would come from NFS. For that matter, as Enterprise

Hello all, This is not a puppet proper issue of course.. but I was wondering if any of you could share some thoughts... When you deploy a system like Puppet at a large park of systems, you instantly increase the efficacy of mistakes and bugs in destroying the environment.... How do you deal with that? I would be interested in any experience or input, especially puppet proper best practices...

Hello All, I am trying to put puppet into push mode only. The instructions I''ve seen have said to put listen=true in puppet.conf but that doesn''t seem to have stopped the pull every 30 minutes. What else needs to be set? Thanks, Jim -- “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.

Hi Lars, people.
