Hi all, We are currently using the regsubst function of Puppet to generate some information out of our hostnames (customer, environment, and so.).

I''m trying to manipulate the following facter variable: ipaddress => 10.85.207.2 What I need is the second group of digits. If it''s 84 then location is A, but if it''s 85 then location is B. In puppet I couldn''t grab this second set of digits, but maybe there is a way? I''ve already tried to make a custom fact, but my ruby knowledge is *ahem* pretty

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'',

Since there is no official "default gateway" fact yet, what I want to be able to do in my manifest is take the $ipaddress fact and turn it into the gateway for that subnet. For example... IP = 10.1.1.12 GW =

I''m working on a module to handle creating and populating Python virtualenvs. Without going into too much detail, basically these are nicely-encapsulated environments into which python packages can be installed and run. It''s not uncommon to have several virtualenvs on a system, potentially with the same packages installed (maybe different versions). Puppet''s defines

Hi all, I''d like to specify a base_directory and a list of directories (as variables that may be pulled via hiera later) that will be created under that base directory. base_dir = "/home/base" bars = ["a", "b", "c"] bars will be used to create the folders under base and also part of the information going into building a template so I
