In my network every subnets default gateway is X.X.X.1. That router gateway is always running ntpd which I want to give be default as the ntp server in every hosts ntp.conf. 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 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

Hi, I am new to Ruby ERB and inline_template. Can anyone spot what''s wrong with this inline_template? $moddedContent = inline_template("<%= puts gets(nil).gsub(/one two three/,\"\") /tmp/blah %>") exec { "/bin/echo ''${moddedContent}'' > /tmp/blah" : } When I try to apply it, I

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'',

I need to do something like this node foo { $iface = pcn0 ... } # the template <%= network_<%= iface %> %>/<% netmask_<%= iface %> %> The idea being that a file would be built on the client holding the value of pcn0''s network/netmask Of course, I''m trying to avoid hard coding the interface name in order to keep my code portable. Thanks in advance

I am trying to setup Puppet + Mongrel on RHEL5. So far I have followed this document: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Using_Mongrel_On_Enterprise_Linux The puppetmasters all start up and Apache starts up on 8140. However, when my client connects I get the following errors: [root@lv1764p puppet]# puppetd --server puppetdev.encana.com --no- daemonize -o -v info: Retrieving

Hi all, We are currently using the regsubst function of Puppet to generate some information out of our hostnames (customer, environment, and so.). The manifest is running fine since months. 7: $customer = regsubst($::fqdn, ''(^[^-]*)-[^-]*.*'', "\\1") 8: $environment = regsubst($::fqdn, ''^[^-]*-([^-]*).*'', "\\1") 9: $product =

I am attempting to set some variables in my manifest and I amd seeing a result I don''t quite understand. Here is a section of code from my manifest: $boot_time = generate(''/usr/bin/env'', ''/bin/date'', ''+%H:%m'') notice("boot_time => $boot_time") $boot_hour =

I''m trying to write a script that runs command based on version of Redhat OS. For example, if the RHEL version is 6.0, it will run command. I was able to write file read script in ruby that would read file and execute but it didn''t seem to work in puppet script. Has anyone done something like this? $redhat_version_file = "/etc/redhat-release" $redhat_version =

Hi all, Been searching the net for a few hours now. I have a basic operation I wish to perform but, cannot find examples close enough to what I''m after to implement it myself. This is what I want to do: $version = ''10.2.0'' I want to manipulate the string to make a new var ($cutversion), equal just 102. For example in perl (since I know it): $version =

Hello, I have a small Puppet 2.7 module to configure Sonatype Nexus Professional. The module takes, among other things, a baseurl in the form of "http://example.com/path" and I''d like it to extract the "/path" from that variable into a separate variable IF an optional "path" variable haven''t been supplied. Here is an extract: class

Hi, I want some config depending on memorysize. What I tried was if ($memorysize >= 256 * 1024*1024) { ... } But this fails because $memorysize is a string (and contains a "G") and can''t be compared to an int. Are all facts strings? How do I work with numbers? regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kuntzagk SystemAdministrator MDC Berlin / BIMSB Tel.: +49 30 9406 2997 --

I''ve got this: file { ''/opt/sugarsync/tomcat/tomcat-home/current'': ensure => "tomcat-$config[''tomcat_version_server'']"; where $config[''tomcat_version_server''] was set with extlookup (the yaml one), by loading: --- tomcat_config: tomcat_version_server: 6.0.20-1 tomcat_version_libs: 1.0-1

I have a few settings that change based on the network that a system is in, and I have a heterogeneous collection of networks (a few /24s, some /25s, a /29 and a couple /27s, and hey look a /16 in rfc1918 space and...). So I can''t do simple regex matches on dotted-quad IP notation and expect to get a complete story. What I''d like is something like, I dunno... $nameserver =

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

I''m running Puppet 2.7.1 on the master as well as the agent and just received a new error which doesn''t actually reference a module or a file, so I''m somewhat stuck as to how to debug this. Any pointers? The error is err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: Could not convert from pson: Could not find relationship target

Hi, I am having an issue trying to use the inline_template function to return an array. This is what I do: $array = inline_template ("<%= a=[''a1'',''b2'',''c3'']; a %>") notify {"array: ${array}":} And that works, showing the typical comma-less string: notice: /Stage[main]//Notify[array: a1b2c3]/message: defined

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
