Hi everyone, I currently have a giant file with default variables I use in a lot of my modules and I override those at the node level if I need to. I thought I would give porting that data into a hiera setup. I worked out how to specify my data sources and started to make a go at moving some of my variables in the default data file. I thought heira would be smart and set a variable to undef if

Hello all, I don''t know if I have hit a strange bug or it''s just an incorrect interpretation about how parameter autoloading works... Today I have been searching, analysing and about to hit my head against a wall trying to figure out why a call to hiera_hash was not merging data from top level among different hierarchies. The problem was that I was trying to do something

Hello Everyone, I''m still pretty new with puppet so please bare with me. I tried searching and I''m pretty sure I''ve ready my answer but I''m not sure if I''m going down the right path just yet. My scenario is this: I have 4 environments, Dev, Test, QA, Prod. Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and

I''ve begun using Hiera in combination with Foreman, primarily storing data that is best left in Array/Hash form. I''d like to be able to have a module, in this case BackupPC, query all the Hiera data for each node where the backup directories/databases are stored. Then use all that information on the BackupPC server to generate proper configuration files for each

Hi, I have just started to use Foreman 1.1. I have been using Puppet for a while and have some custom modules and ones that have been dragged down from git etc. I am using nodes.pp in Puppet to assign classes and template entries to hosts. So is Foreman meant to eliminate my need for a nodes.pp? How do I manage my erb templates in Puppet without a nodes.pp? Thanks, -- You received

Hi, I worked with puppet (< 0.25) back in 2008/2009. We were able to deploy 200 servers from scratch and manage them. It worked fine. I''m now with a new customer and I''m pushing Puppet (and I''m also back to puppet on a side project). We''re considering Puppet 2.6 to manage RHEL/CentOS 5 or 6 hosts. I''m "upgrading myself" to Puppet

Has anyone run into this issue before? http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5046#note-17 Is there something obvious that I''m missing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

This is the situation I have: All my hosts are the* same OS.* All my host are in the* same puppet environment,* so I cannot use %{environment} I have a module that sets all the *basic* functionality for the OS, resolution, authentication, security, packages, etc I have a module for each application hosted. At the moment all the ''data'' is in Puppet, mostly in parametrised

I''ve been using PuppetDB as an ENC for a while, but I haven''t really utilized it for stored configs or anything. I was mostly interested in replacing Dashboard''s reporting capabilities, but PuppetDB doesn''t yet do anything (that I can see) with reports. So I''m currently looking into setting up a separate Foreman server. I saw the script mentioned

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

All, I have found very few references to this error so I''m guessing I must be doing something wrong. I have just started using hiera and am trying to use it in the simplest way possible, I have a class that looks like this: class app_users2($compresslogs = hiera(''compresslogs'')) {

Hello I am setting up servers with a puppetmaster and various nodes, all running Debian Wheezy with the Puppet 3 packages from Puppetlabs. The Puppetmaster is configured with Passenger and Apache. I am trying to use hiera-gpg to encrypt passwords, I have it installed and have created a key as described here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2011/10/secret-variables-in-puppet-with-hiera-and-gpg/ On

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

So I want to use facts from one host in the configuration of other hosts. Trivial example: setting restrict lines in ntp.conf to allow a monitoring host to query ntpd on remote hosts. So if the monitoring host boots with IP 10.2.2.3 (which may change regularly), and it knows its the monitor host (via some customer facter plugins), I want some global variable to be available

Given the following hiera hash: common.yaml: --- *allowed_ips:* * "First IP": 1.2.3.4* * "Second IP": 5.6.7.8* and the module: *class iptables ($role) {* * file {/tmp/test:* * content => template(iptables/test.erb)* * }* *}* with the corresponding template test.erb: *<% role.each do |role| -%> * * code* *<% end %>* *<%

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

Hi I''m just getting into hiera and have now configured it, my attempts at migrating to hiera have been frustratingly hard as I''m not able to get the write syntax. Can someone help me in converting the below from a class declaration to hiera? Current declarations in my declare.pp file: class profile::web { class { ''nsswitch'': automount =>

I''ve been trying to find information, suggestions, etc. for how to combine scaling Puppet with the use of management tools like Dashboard/Foreman and MCollective. Our current thinking for an initial deployment is two VMs as Puppet Master worker nodes fronted by a pair of NetScalers. However, I''m not sure how to go about implementing Dashboard or Foreman and MCollective servers in

I''m trying to use environments and seem to be failing. Right now I have 4 defined environments: production, cat, development, beta They are defined as follows on my puppetmaster: cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf [main] pluginsync = true vardir = /var/lib/puppet manifest = /etc/puppet/environments/production/site.pp modulepath = /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules [master] reports =

Hey all, I''ve been messing around with the hiera-foreman backend to see if it would let me migrate to hiera and use foreman and an ENC. https://github.com/torrancew/hiera-foreman It works by querying each node''s yaml file from foreman. Currently this code works when called from the hiera command line with the -m (mcollective option). It uses the mcollective facts to pull
