similar to: Identifying host OS in an ENC

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

Hi there, I installed puppet-dashboard, which works just fine, and trying to activate *inventory-services *but get this error on the agent: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: > Please install the mysql adapter: `gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter` > (Could not find RubyGem mysql (~> 2.8.1) > on the master, these are the packages I got

Hi All, Puppet-dashboard appears to be having some trouble. Under inventory, it says: "Could not retrieve facts from inventory service: Permission denied - certs/dashboard.private_key.pem" When I run: curl -k -H "Accept: yaml" https://puppet:8140/production/facts/host.domain I get the expected dump of facts. Versions: puppet-dashboard is 1.1.0 (using passenger) puppet-master

I have a puppet master install which uses puppetdb. I also have puppet dashboard installed with the inventory service running. I want multiple puppet masters using a single puppetDB server. Puppetdb is installed on separate vm. How can I get the dashboard inventory to use the puppetdb server to get the inventory records? Where do I configure the dashboard inventory so it uses puppetdb? I

I just set up the latest dashboard release candidate in hopes of trying out the new inventory service. After modifying the puppet- dashboard config to use the inventory service and after changing my auth.conf I gave it a whirl but ran into some issues.. I initially tried using fact_terminus = yaml and was able to do some queries via curl. I''m currently using storeconfigs so setting up

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

Hi, I''ve just been configuring my new Puppet 3.1.1 / Dashboard setup with Passenger to use PuppetDB for the inventory service. I configured it via the puppetdb forge module, and it all seems to be configured correctly as far as the docs describe. When I look at a node in the dashboard, under the inventory section, I just see: Could not retrieve facts from inventory service: 404

Sorry for being off topic. am trying the following and yaml fails to construct the object: The inventory document, from Puppet dashboard inventory service, looks like: --- !ruby/object:Puppet::Node::Facts name: pirates.uis.example.com values: productname: VMware Virtual Platform kernelmajversion: "2.6" My code: class PuppetFacts(yaml.YAMLObject): yaml_tag =

Hello, I am having problems with Puppet since upgrading to 3.0.0. When I call an inventory search I get a Error 400.

I''m having some trouble with getting an ENC to work alongside site.pp: Even with a ''default'' node definition, and an ENC that only returns 0, regardless of input, consistently results in a ''cannot find node'' error. I''m wondering what I''ve missed here. I''ve tried to reduce everything to a ''base case'': and

Hello All, We are investigating writing a custom puppet report that would be a web app to show a change log for each host. The issue we are running into stems from how we run puppet. We run a daily cronjob in noop and report mode and fix inconsistency''s either by hand or by puppet depending on the host. This should change some what in the future as our puppet environment matures

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. I watched C-beams

Hello, I''m new to puppet and facter. Initially we are planning on using facter/puppet to inventory machines (Mac, Ubuntu, and RHEL). We plan on writing a number of custom facts. Obviouly some of the facts will only be specific to some OSs. I know there is a "confine" method, but it confuses me. It seems the confine statement in some of the recipes and in the Turnbull book is

Hello, I''m trying to use External Node classification and I have not idea what is my mistake.

Hi, I am trying to create multiple users using puppet. I have created a ENC and trying to use class wrapped defined types with create_resources function. For some reason things are falling apart. I would really appreciate some help on these Here are the details about my classes and configuration http://serverfault.com/questions/409001/create-resources-function-and-puppet-enc -- You

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

Hey guys, i hope someone has an idea for me. At this time im using Puppet Dashboard as enc for a masterless puppet infrastructure.No im searching for a best practise to undo the changes from a removed class. Example: In the enc I´ve added the class auth::test to a node. The class will be loaded on the next puppet apply, works fine. But now if i remove the class from the node in the enc, how

Hi all, I am using puppet with an ENC script. In this scripts YAML output the environment (generally "production") is set. For testing purposes I would like to start puppet runs from the cmdline of a managed host like: $ puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize --verbose --no-splay --environment development The problem is the --environment Parameter is not being used if an environment

I''m trying to connect multiple masters to one dashboard and I''m having trouble with Facter. I started out initially with one master connected to the dashboard and that one works perfectly fine. Then I added a second master by setting the reporturl to point to the dashboard. The new nodes appeared and it shows the run results without any problems. The issue I''m

I''m in the process of rolling out a new homegrown ENC (we''ve decided on using an ENC over hiera; I know it''s not the way a lot of you are going, but it''s right for us) and am running into some issues with variable interpolation in ENC data. To give a concrete example, I''m using modules to configure puppetdb, puppet master, and puppet clients. So,
