My class reads like: class name1::name2 ($gidvariable) { file { "somepath-to-file": ensure => file, mode => ''0640'', gid => $gidvariable, } } The problem is that the file isn''t getting set to the $gidvariable''s value which is a string "abc". The other things work (presence as file, mode). Stuart -- You

No problem installing open puppet and using it. patterns run aok. when trying to use the installer for pe, on the puppetmaster, installs ok. when trying to use the installer for pe, on the puppet agent, installs ok but no cert sent as shown by puppet cert list on puppetmaster. also puppet agent --test on puppet agent shows err: could not retrieve catalog from remote server: error 400 on

Hi, When I put noop = true in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf on the node in question, I observe no changes. Great. Good But also, I see because of report = true absolutely zero information in the yaml regarding what would have been changed. Is there an equivalent to the above for "test = true" or must I alter the rc file to include --test ? Thanks ahead Puppet wizards!!! -- You

somefile.pp class mumble { } class mumble::testcontents inherits mumble { file { "/tmp/testfile": path => "/tmp/testfile, ensure => present, mode => 0640, content => "I am a test file.", puppet parser validate passed it. puppet apply says it is run yet no /tmp/testfile appears the puppet master is running and this is being

Hi, I put a --noop into the rc file for puppet client and restarted it and watched it log the above message. My problem with the above message is it doesn''t give enough detail as to what was discovered and what the 2 events were (mode difference, file existence, etc.) Is there a way to up the logging level for a puppet agent --noop observation run? I tried adding --verbose in the rc

Hi everybody! So for non-automated physical/manual application of single specific patterns or sets of puppet patterns on an entirely manual basis, what is best practice and/or where is it described? Meaning what is the way to stop the puppet agent from running automatically and instead require a manual command for puppet to exercise on that node. If it is as simple as puppet apply

Hi, I am having problems installing Puppet Server. My gem list follows and then the attempt to install puppet-server. The specific errors are: Error: Package: puppet-3.2.1-1.el6.noarch (puppetlabs) Requires: ruby-augeas Error: Package: hiera-1.2.1-1.el6.noarch (puppetlabs) Requires: rubygem-json Error: Package: puppet-3.2.1-1.el6.noarch (puppetlabs)

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

Hi, I spent a lot of time with Puppet Enterprise and like it. Lately, I''ve been doing Open Source Puppet. The question has come up: does OSP have any kind of web-facing methodology for applying one or more patterns against swaths of instances? Do tell me we don''t have to roll our own with cli going to a web front-end we have to design. Stuart -- You received this

puppet agent --verbose shows a verbose output of the changes done by puppet, such as: notice: /Stage[main]/Logstash::Config/Logstash::Configdir[agent]/File[/etc/logstash/agent/config]/owner: owner changed ''root'' to ''logstash'' notice: /Stage[main]/Varnish/Service[varnish]/ensure: ensure changed ''stopped'' to ''running''

My apologies in advance if this is a solved problem (which I hope it is), but I''ve been looking for answers for a while and haven''t found anything substantive. Our standard OS version is moving from CentOS 5.8 to CentOS 6.4. We''re simultaneously getting ready to move from puppet 2.7 to 3.x. A significant amount of effort has been undertaken in the past to build

Assume the following question is in regards to Puppet 3.3.2. So my question is in relation to audit. file { ''/some/random/path/through/the/tree/to/a/file'': owner => ''luke'', group => ''rebelalliance'', mode => ''0444'', audit => all } And more specifically: will the named file be force-owned to luke with the

Hi, I''ve used etckeeper before and it puts the contents of /etc/ into a local git repository. This means that I can easily see any changes which have been made to anything in /etc/ However, I need to look after a SLES server - and etckeeper is not available. Also, I''m looking to upgrade server management to Puppet. Is there anyway Puppet can be used to manage /etc/ - i.e.

I''m using puppet through Vagrant to manage my dev VM, and as part of that I have a few database grants that I run after creating users, but when I subsequently run vagrant up or provision these grants fail (because of some changes I make to the mysql config after they have been created.) I''m using database_grant to execute the grants, but there doesn''t seem to be a

Dear readers, When I have made a change to a template, class or file, is it then possible to push this change to the node(s), so they get the changes now? I would like to be able to push the change from the master, and not have to login to each node and pull. Is that possible?

I''m looking for some help in getting the proper escape sequence within the generate function. Ultimately what I''m trying to do is generate some random strings, store them as variables, and use those variables to populate configuration files stored as templates. I can get this to work when applying the template on the localhost, but it fails when applied via the puppet

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I''m using the "delete_lines" definition from http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimpleTextRecipes . However, when I use it to remove a line with the pattern "/proc/kmsg" I need to escape the slashes for sed/grep and so I end up with "\/proc\/kmsg", but then I get this notices in the log of

I just built a new puppet master, and whenever I run puppet on it, it throws an error while processing a service resource: # puppet agent -t > Info: Retrieving plugin > Info: Caching catalog for i-45dc2b1d > Info: Applying configuration version ''g > 9ea47ad19bc706a754c00f00a024309948d3ea03'' > Error: /Stage[main]/Ipa::Client::Basic/Service[sssd]: Could not
