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

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

I have these three modules with the following structure: |-- modules | |-- create_resources | | |-- LICENSE | | |-- Modulefile | | |-- README | | |-- lib | | | `-- puppet | | | `-- parser | | | `-- functions | | | `-- create_resources.rb | | |-- spec | | | |-- spec.opts | | | |-- spec_helper.rb | | | `-- unit

Hiera was properly working in my environment. But puppet was looking at old version even when I have the latest hiera gem installed. So I could''nt use json backend. But puppet is not looking at my latest hiera gem. Not sure when went wrong here. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0

What is the right path for ruby gems on puppet master. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0 /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0 Later when I updated to new version of hiera then it installed (via gem install) under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-1.1.1

Hi folks, I''ve poked around the language reference, and havent found anything on this so far. I''d like to be able to force a clean early exit from a module. WITHOUT encasing the whole body of the module in an if statement. What I''m looking for: class somemodule { #no this isnt going to be a global variable I''m just using that as an example, if

Hi All, I''ve been trying to use Hiera for node classification, my sit.pp is simple: node default { hiera_include("classes") } which has been working well with simple class definitions like: user@host$ cat testagent.yaml 2012-06-18 14:55:48 jon pts/13 --- classes: - motd Is anyone doing this in production? I''ve seen a little about this on line but it

I''m looking to implement a hiera backend for our Puppet installation, as we routinely deploy systems that are of varying hardware, OS, and which may have multiple roles they fill. I''ve figured out, I think, how to handle the OS question through facter, but implementing server roles isn''t quite so clear. I want to maintain that information on the server, not on the

Hi, To my surprise hashes passed to class parameters pulled from hiera with :merge_behavior: deeper, are not merged "as expected", where as hiera_hash does work "as expected". Or to rephrase: they behave differently, despite merge_behavior being set. I found a snippet documenting this here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/lookup_types.html#deep-merging-in-hiera--120

Hello, I work for the CHTC (Center for High Throughput Computing) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. We utilize puppet for most of our configuration management. Currently we have a web application that performs the tasks of user account management. When a new user is registered with the application, the application does some very limited parsing of a puppet manifest that has

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -

Hi Folks, Like to get some advice on module organization. I have a system that has a few different components. One or more components can be installed on a host. The hosts also have a "type" dimension. This "type" dimension could (should) ideally be used to configure the system (fill in a bunch of variables). Problem is, I''m not sure how the best way to do

I am trying to create a hostgroup using the Foreman API (foreman-0.4-0.1rc1.noarch): Using perl v.5.14.2, REST::Client et. al., ending up with sending: POST /hostgroups {"name":"api-created-

Hi all! I''m trying to setup a puppet module for sudo that will write multiple files with separate data for each file, all dependent on the hiera hierarchy. Here''s the relevant portion of my hiera.yaml: > :hierarchy: > > - "datacenter/app/role/node/%{::clientcert}" > > - "datacenter/app/role/%{::server_role}" > > -

Morning All I''m trying to use Hiera with Puppet 3.0 to streamline some of my module configuration... However I''m having issues using the ''*%{::clientcert}*'' variable as part of the hierarchy... Currently, my *hiera.yaml* file looks like: --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

Hi all, We''ve recently started exploring the role / profile / component module described by Craig Dunn in his blog here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ and discussed on the list the other day. As I was implementing this for a profile using the apache module, I realized that I could make another refinement to our approach by using

I''ve tried to achieve my overall goals with several different features of Puppet, but I''ve hit a bit of a wall here. I think it''s time for me to explain what I''m trying to accomplish: I want the enabling of a service in my manifests to configure the monitoring of that service by a nagios server, without needless repetition. Let me explain how my

Hi all, I''m interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into Hiera. Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get it to work the way I thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I''ve read so far don''t address it. The class (in init.pp): class users { $system_users =

Howdy: I need some help please to get hiera configuration data derived from YAML, thru puppet. I have studied Internet search results and puppet documentation on create_resources and custom defines but need a little help along. I can print out the YAML from variables, arrays, and, finally, hashes too from a puppet manifest. One thing that is stumping me is how to access from the custom define

I am trying to supplement and ultimately provide a patch for ''foreman'' which is an adjunct to puppet. Essentially, there is a Hosts class which belongs_to Hostgroup and Hostgroup class has a column called ''ancestry'' which is actually a Hostgroup (probably what is referred to as STI but I am not sure) and thus within Foreman, nesting Hostgroups is not uncommon.
