I''m trying to upgrade from 2.6.7 to to 2.7.6 and I''m running into an issue in my extlookup() calls. A lot of the variables which should be defined aren''t defined within extlookup.rb. I''ve tested 2.6.7 agent and 2.7.5 agent against the 2.6.7 master and 2.7.6 master. I adjusted extlookup.rb slightly to provide some debug output.

Running puppet 2.6.11 opensource on Red Hat 5.6 client. I cannot explain this logically but I have a directory structure like so: /etc/puppet/manifests/hiera/hostgroups/ with directories for each of my application areas like so: *clickz core devel dns icross iswap itch puppet test ubuntu* *What is weird is that if I put anything under the directory named "core", the ext

Anyone able to explain why "$fqdn" works and "$environment" doesn''t in: $extlookup_precedence=["%{fqdn}","%{environment}","common"] How to reproduce it: ----------------------------- - In "/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp" : $extlookup_datadir = "/etc/puppet/manifests/extdata"

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

I am using puppet 2.6.11 and want to pass parameter for implementing sudo for mulitple users. So here is my simple code, which I would like to pass to hiera to specify user name lookup. Appreciate any help, thanks in advance. class sudo( $name) { #Class:: sudo # # package { "sudo": ensure => present, } file { "/etc/sudoers": owner => root, group => root,

I am trying to create a hostgroup using the Foreman API (foreman-0.4-0.1rc1.noarch): Using perl v.5.14.2, REST::Client et. al., ending up with sending: POST /hostgroups {"name":"api-created-

I am trying to supplement and ultimately provide a patch for ''foreman'' which is an adjunct to puppet. Essentially, there is a Hosts class which belongs_to Hostgroup and Hostgroup class has a column called ''ancestry'' which is actually a Hostgroup (probably what is referred to as STI but I am not sure) and thus within Foreman, nesting Hostgroups is not uncommon.

Morning All I''m trying to use Hiera with Puppet 3.0 to streamline some of my module configuration... However I''m having issues using the ''*%{::clientcert}*'' variable as part of the hierarchy... Currently, my *hiera.yaml* file looks like: --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

I''ve tried to achieve my overall goals with several different features of Puppet, but I''ve hit a bit of a wall here. I think it''s time for me to explain what I''m trying to accomplish: I want the enabling of a service in my manifests to configure the monitoring of that service by a nagios server, without needless repetition. Let me explain how my

Hi all . i am running puppet version 2.6.16 and foreman Version 0.4.2 . my question is as follows . i would like to know if there is a way to tag server with a group tagging . for example . let say i am running apache with a unique configuration and network architecture and want to tag in with "tag1" and a i have few more apache installation with the a new unique configuration and

Hmmm.... So I was just trying the extlookup function that comes with puppet 2.6.1. It now lets you do this: $version = extlookup("rsyslog_version", "present", "packages") which, according to the documentation: # This will look for a version configured in packages.csv and then in the rest as configured # by $extlookup_precedence if it''s not found anywhere

Hi everyone, I am reconsidering how I am using the Puppet nagios functionality, at the moment I am creating one service for each check on each host. A lot of them are identical, and would be better tied to hostgroups to simplify my config. Namely, I have about 5,000 checks in there now which will go up to about 20K over the next month, and it''s taking about 5-10 minutes for a Puppet

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

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

I have a module located at /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/ruby. I n this I have a manifests folder with two .pp files - init.pp and gemInstall.pp. In one of my node def files I have: include ruby ruby::gemInstall { ''someGem-version.gem'': path => ''/path/to/agent/local/gem/repo'', } ruby::gemInstall is a define, and it has some logic to get around

Hi all I have been pondering this for a while, but not yet seen a clean way to do it I have a few puppet classes (apache/ntp/mysql/bacula/nagios/etc) I would like to generate part of my bacula and nagios configs for each host based on which other classes that host belongs to (or to put it another way, I would like to export variables from classes which would be used by my bacula and nagios

Is there a way to use send multiple parameter values using puppet dashboard ENC? For example, nameserver = 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 or perhaps nameserver = [''10.0.0.1'',''10.0.0.2''} then the template erb file can loop through each of the nameserver values to set up mulitple nameservers in resolve.conf?

I''m trying to generate (and manage) nagios configuration based on what classes have been included by nodes. I''ve seen the example at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html, and I''m doing that now. However, it has some problems: - puppet runs are very slow on the nagios node - when I want to change the service configuration in nagios, I have to wait

Hi, so I''m trying to use the built in nagios_host type and there appears to be one huge glaring hole - the lack of a hostgroups parameter. And before anyone asks why I can''t use the nagios_hostgroup type, if someone can tell me how I can collect members without having to manage the hostgroup members manually, that would be fantastic. There''s a servicegroups parameter
