Seems like nodes are matching the default node before they are matching the more specific nodes. My site.pp has: include "nodes/*.pp" In the nodes directory are two files, default.pp and nagios_server.pp. default.pp: node default { include role::common } nagios_server.pp: node ''mon01.us1.xxx.com'' { $node_env = "production" include

All, I have --confdir=/etc/puppet/common in my /etc/init.d/puppetmaster and /etc/init.d/puppet files, vardir set to /var/lib/puppet in /etc/puppet/common/puppet.conf, and yet, every time I run puppetca it creates /etc/puppet/ssl. Anyone know why? Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email

Anyone know where I can find a good chrooted named module for centos? Named as chroot is ugly... soft and hard links everywhere...

I''ve installed the puppet labs lvm module. After fixing the missing "}" at line 20 in init.pp (really?!?!), I''m getting this:'' err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type physical_volume at /truth/sauce/env/prod/modules/role/manifests/common.pp:43

I have this: class foo::foobar ($version) { } which is called like this: class facility::sanjose inherits facility::common { class { foo::foobar: version => "1.3.13" } } puppet complains with this on the client: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find parent resource type ''facility::sanjose'' of type hostclass in

How do I debug errors with external nodes? When my client connects, the following appears on the puppetmaster when running in debug mode. It''s not feasible to always be running the pupeptmaster in debug mode. debug: importing ''/etc/puppet/modules/yum/manifests/client.pp'' in environment production info: Automatically imported yum::client from yum/client into production

I''m trying to wrap my head around these files... do both of them need to reside on the client and master? are there any docs that describe these files and what all the option/ sections are and what they do?

So.. I''ve been fighting with trying to get puppet to include/execute module in a certain order for several weeks now. I kind of have something hacked together, but it scares me a bit since I don''t know exactly what is happening. I don''t suppose there''s still an easy way to do this....?

I downloaded the latest version of puppet 2.6.0 today, and still can''t get parameterised classes to work. At least, I think it''s 2.6.0... the version number in the RPM spec file says 0.25.5. This simple example: /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/pax/name01.pax.xxx.com.pp: node ''name01.pax.xxx.com'' { class { amodule::afunc: version => "1.0" } }

What is puppet doing here?

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

All, For those that are using external nodes (as local files) and multiple environments, where do you put the external node files? Ie, do you put them down in the environment itself /etc/puppet/env/env1/manifests/extdata/nodes /etc/puppet/env/env.../manifests/extdata/nodes /etc/puppet/env/envN/manifests/extdata/nodes OR, up above the environments? /etc/puppet/manifests/extdata/nodes Which

So, I''ve been doing something like this for applications that have a client and server component... node base_node { include syslog_ng::client }} node app_node inherits base_node { } node syslog_server inherits base_node { include syslog_ng::server } ... because I want the client portion, syslog-ng in this case to be installed on everything. However, the server node also has a

This is pretty ugly. I''m using puppet to install Oracle, ie an exec{} wrapped around: /u01/oracle_extract/linux.x64_11gR2_database/database/runInstaller -silent -responseFile /etc/oracle_response.rsp The problem is that the damn installer backgrounds itself and returns control to the shell. I tried putting the above command in a script, followed by a wait command, but that

Here we go with puppet 0.25 certificate problems again. I had a system where puppet was running fine. I reinstalled it. Running puppet on the client causes this: "Could not request certificate: Retrieved certificate does not match private key; please remove certificate from server and regenerate it with the current key". Fine... so I run ''puppetca --clean

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

How can I pass an array to a define? It''s not documented in the puppet language guide. I''ve got: define lvm::create_vg ( $pvdisks ) { exec { ''pvcreate'': command => "/sbin/pvcreate -yf $pvdisks", unless => "/sbin/pvdisplay $pvdisks", ... } } class someclass { lvm::create_vg {

All, I was looking at the new feature of puppet to manage switches, and it says: "A current limitation is that it isn’t possible to have 2 switches with the same interface name" Does this mean that if one switch has an interface called FastEthernet 0/1, that puppet can''t manage a second switch with an interface called FastEthernet 0/1? If so, that probably means you can

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'',

Has anyone got/seen Python code to read puppet reports? I added a bunch of these: class PuppetReport(yaml.YAMLObject): yaml_tag = u''!ruby/object:Puppet::Transaction::Report'' def __init__(self, host, logs, metrics, records, time): self.host = host self.logs = logs self.metrics = metrics self.records = records self.time = time However, the Python YAML
