similar to: Puppet own function

Hi there, just to be sure: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions says that "The file name is derived from the name of the function that Puppet is trying to run." Is this still true? I ask because I currently write a set of math functions (min,max, plus, minus and so). My first try was to create a math.rb, where I had: module Puppet::Parser::Functions

Puppet custom functions and user permissions I am busy writing a custom function to automatically add OSSEC agents to a OSSEC server after installation. Unfortunately, it seems that puppetmasterd is not respecting the entries in /etc/group in linux. No matter how many other groups the puppet user has been added to in /etc/ group, when puppetmasterd runs the custom function the effective/real user

I''m looking for a way to stub a parser function within rspec-puppet. This function returns data based on a database query and I''d rather not have to populate dummy data inside my rspec tests. I can redefine the function by doing something like the following: Puppet::Parser::Functions::rmfunction("lookup_facts") Puppet::Parser::Functions::newfunction(:lookup_facts,

Hello! I''ve written custom function split - it''s located in modules/common/ plugins/puppet/parser/functions/split.rb and contains: module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:split, :type => :rvalue) do |args| str=args[0] regex=args[1] idx=args[2] out=str.split(/#{regex}/) if out.is_a? Array out[idx] else "" end

I await Luke''s node settings implementation with interest. At the moment however, I have this sort of ugliness: $site = $hostname ? { fred => "opsera", barney => "bedrock", default => "unknown site", ... } So I''ve knocked up this little function to use CSV files instead. Now I can just do: $site =

hi,guys- I have a mysql database which stores host informations,so I wrote a function to get some values. - Here is the function rb(this function should return the type I defined in the database): #hosttype.rb require "mysql" module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:hosttype, :type => :rvalue, :doc => "Gets host type from db.") do |args|

Here''s the function: module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:fact_to_array, :type => :rvalue) do |args| args[0].split('','') end end Here''s the class I''m trying to use it in: class oms::all_config { file { ''/var/lib/oms/config'': source => ''puppet:///deployment/deployment'', recurse =>

Dear all, I''m trying this thing for a while but can''t figure out what am I doing wrong. Here is my sample function (which is similar to the original one, except for the hash, which is generated dynamically in the original one): module Puppet::Parser::Functions > newfunction(:am_running_oss, :type => :rvalue ) do |args| > > oss =

Hi, I needed a function to check if a file is existing on the Debian box I am configuring. So I used this one module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:file_exists, :type => :rvalue) do |args| if File.exists?(args[0]) return 1 else return 0 end end end It work greats for some service where apache2 doesn''t work for me. I am using it this way

Hey all, I am trying to get a modified hostname (converting "blah-1234567" to "1234567") to use in my manifests and templates. I have it working for templates by using Ruby (*<%= hostname.split(''-'').pop.downcase %>*) but I haven''t been able to use it in manifests because they don''t process ERB. The way I see it I could do one of two

I''m in the process of upgrading an existing installation from .24.x to 2.6. We seem to have a custom function that is throwing the error: "err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: private method `gsub'' called for #<Array:0x7fdcebf3bbf8> at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/apache-php.pp:72" Here is the function: """ #

I just installed puppet 3 (3.0.0-0.1rc3puppetlabs1) on a 32bit Ubuntu 12.04 ''server'' VM. I used the packages for the install. I then copied over my existing modules and manifests from my production 2.7.x puppet master, and also my hiera.yaml and hieradata/*. When I run puppet agent --test I get the following: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error

So I am messing around with puppet dashboard and for the most part for what I am working on it fits the bill for an ENC. The only question I have is I need to pass information about a customer to set up resources and the system can have multiple customers on it. What is the best way to handle complex data? Would I be able to pass json data for example? -- You received this message because you

I work at a large financial institution (AXA) and we have a large number of DMZs for our partner and internet-facing servers. The only access to the various DMZs is via SSH and no DMZ-initiated connections are allowed back to the internal network. I''d consider putting a Puppet server in the DMZ but no communication is allowed between DMZs either. Has anyone tried tunnelling Puppet

Hi all, I am new to puppet and also newcomer in this group. I heart good things about puppet and I decided to give it a try 2 weeks now. After reading various documentation, I began using the complete configuration collection of puppet modules (thanks to David). But I have a problem with the munin module. It works fine, except that it seems to not export virtual ressources. Let me give more detail

Hi all, we activated puppet mail reports but we are receiving a lot of mails when yum fails to update the repos, like this one: (err): Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not get latest version: Execution of ''/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 list available munin-node'' returned 1: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: kbs-CentOS-Extras failure:

Hello list. I''ve the following parent class: class munin::client { ... munin::client::plugin { "postfix_mailqueue": name => "postfix_mailqueue", enable => "false" } } And the following inherited class: class munin::client::plugins::postfix inherits munin::client { munin::client::plugin {

Hi Current my set up is that the MTA and Dovecot (maildir) is on the same machine. Ive been asked to seperate the services from the same machine (too would like to add a secondary MTA - but thats future ideas). I read the documentation on NFS, but from other sites i have read. Most say this is NOT the best solution. My question is, how do some of the fellow dovecot users,or other companys, e.g.

Hi there, I have a strange problem with the exported ressources in the munin module I wrote. See: http://mail.madstop.com/pipermail/puppet-users/2007-June/003179.html For some reason it stopped working. On the munin::host I get the error that: err: Could not retrieve configuration: Exported resource File[munin_def_XY_4949] cannot override local resource The munin::host is also a

Hi, This is totally off-topic (it''s an rpm/rpmbuild problem), but I want to get to a point where I''m installing and configuring munin-node with puppet. To do that, I need a clean, standardized way of installing munin-mode on CentOS (RHELish) boxes. I could install munin-node from source via puppet and probably make enough edits that all the files end up in reasonable locations
