http://saltstack.org/ http://puppetlabs.com/mcollective/ I found this link that talks about Func, Rundeck, Salt and mcollective, but it doesn''t really compare and contrast. http://www.coloandcloud.com/editorial/func-mcollective-salt-and-rundeck/(From a 10,000 overview Saltstack and mcollective look very similar. IE: both integrate with facter/puppet, have queuing mechanisms, allow remote

I''ve been tasked at my workplace to upgrade our puppet installation to a more modern version. Currently all the environments run a RubyGem version of puppet 0.25.4 on mostly RHEL/Centos 5.3 - 5.5 (there are, like most environments, a few laggards running RHEL4 or new machines running CentOS 6). The plan is to upgrade these to the most stable version of Puppet, which at the time of

I''ve installed the puppet labs lvm module.

I discovered Capistrano while I was trying to figure out what I wanted. See attached notes. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/GNOSIS/Kraken Puppet seems promising. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

Howdy, Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system? Got a few ideas floating around in my head, but wanted to see if/what other folks have done .. -- I''ve seen things you people wouldn''t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

Over the years many shops have come to start running puppet via cron to address memory leaks in earlier versions of Ruby, but the official position was that puppet was meant to be run as a continually running service. I am wondering if the official position has changed. On one hand many if not all of the early Ruby issues have been fixed, on the other, the addition of mcollective into the mix as

Hi, I have a Puppet Enterprise (2.0) puppetmaster running with Foreman, and having trouble getting it working as an External Node Classifier. In short, if I manually add a test client into site.pp, it will retrieve the proper catalog / classes, but I would like to avoid having to do that. I''m also using environments (production/testing/ development) as well, but think I have most of

I have been working on adding some predicate functions to puppetlabs-stdlib that test things based on ''interfaces'' and related facts. The functions themselves seem to work fine in my manifest-based smoketests, but I am running into trouble that may or may not be due to my ignorance about rspec or Facter. Something needs to be done to initialize Facter because

I''m trying to load custom facts via /etc/facter/facts.d/* according to instructions on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html#structured-data-facts I must have missed a setting somewhere because I get nothing. The first clue may be that /etc/facter didn''t exist. I had to create it manually. Is there a setting or search path I need to create? Details: puppet

Hello all, I have some questions about the download puppet modules from puppetforge: I''ll take puppetlabs-dism as an example, once its installed its located: /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/dism Can this be renamed to something else ? Also if for example, I had a folder tree under modules e.g. /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/windows | |- manifests |--base.pp |--networking.pp Can I

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

I have a server which we''re running a lot of VM''s on, including a Puppet master and various nodes under puppet management. When we add new VM''s with VSphere, the new nodes have dynamic IP''s. What we''re looking to do is have each VM have a static IP and have these automatically assigned from a pool of addresses. I am looking in to Puppet to do this

Just upgraded to 2.7.6 and the yumrepo type does not write out our yum configs correctly, anyone experiencing this?

The value of '''' does not match ''^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$''. A common cause of this problem is running puppet agent as a normal user instead of root, or the fact is

Hi, I am setting up a local forge for some weird political reasons. I came to know that puppetlabs is working on such a feature. But, in the meantime I wanted to try out setting up the repo and use --modules_repository flag in "puppet module install: command. For that, I need to mimic the puppet forge repo format (meaning the directory structure of the modules). Can somebody point me

I''m running puppet in a local VM to do some testing, and all of our systems are behind a proxy. I''ve got the http_proxy environment variable set properly, but when I try to use puppet module install <foo> it doesn''t seem to honor it and can''t connect. I used wget to download it, but even when I use modulepath it still tries to connect to the forge and

Good Afternoon All, I''m just pondering - I think that my expectations of the forge are not 100% aligned, or I''m still rubbish with puppet! I imagine the forge to be used in the following scenario/way I''m in a situation where I need to provision package X in a particular way. I fire up my terminal: $ puppet module search packageX Searching https://forge.puppetlabs.com
