I''m having trouble getting a simple custom type to work. Clients are giving me the following error: "Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find resource type zypper_repo at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/mgt.pp:33 on node <host.fqdn>" The custom type is present in the /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type directory on both clients and server (via pluginsync), but it''s

Hi. I have a small problem with the custom type I am working on. I define method ''evaluate'' which is called after all data is been collected. Here it is: module Puppet newtype(:test) do newparam(:name) do end newparam(:listen) do defaultto "silent" end def evaluate puts "evaluating..." return super.evaluate end

I am trying to extract and combine the various pieces of information found in [1] and its sub-pages and the Xen in-tree documentation in order to make xen boot (potentially non-smp without some later changes). But since I am not familiar enough with Arm I think I am stuck doing something wrong. I compiled the hypervisor with debug and early printk for midway and use the xen.bin file (I could get

I''ve almost finished a pretty simple type/provider to manage RabbitMQ users and virtual hosts. I''m using the ''ensurable'' keyword in my type to save a bit of boilerplate. Type is below (the provider is just a wrapper around the ''rabbitmqctl'' command. Have a feeling there''s a developer guide somewhere I haven''t found (been

Following patch for pfile.rb and pfile/source.rb allows the user to set a replace => false parameter on a file sourced by puppet, but not replaced if checksums do not match. This is for cases in which it is desired to distribute initial "bootstrap" files and ensure future existence, yet allow them to be modified on the node.

I have created a custom type and provider. I wanted to go back and add in a little more functionality so I wanted to give it a new parameter. So where I declare the type I added newparam(:recurse) do newvalues(:true, :false) defaultto :false end No matter what I set the param to in my pp file accessing this param using @resource[:recurse] it is always nil. I have tried not doing any

Hi, I''m trying to program custom type for managing Couchbase buckets. Problem is that every RW operation to Couchbase cluster (creating, deleting, resizing bucket) requires admin privileges (username/password). Do you have any suggestion how should I pass the username/password to provider? If I make it a param, then every resource of type ''couchbucket'' will need to

Hi. I''ve been trying to develop a module for managing Cobbler from puppet. So, I need a custom type - cobblerdistro, which will fetch ISO from http, unpack it at desired destination and register distro with Cobbler. I have one issue with ensure => absent situation. First of all, here is my type: <code> # cat type/cobblerdistro.rb Puppet::Type.newtype(:cobblerdistro) do @doc

Please hold my hand. After studying the wiki, several unofficial pages, various mailing list entries, and the operation of the "iptables" type as found on the net, I have created a custom type, lovingly named ``configxml''''. It updates attributes on the first element matching a supplied XPath in a given XML file. The first use case is configuring Atlassian JIRA to use

Hi, I''ve inherited a puppet setup for automating php installation and extension management. We''re on Debian and we''ve encountered a strange issue that I''ve traced down back to puppet I think. I''ve stripped back the configuration and made the problem reproducible, logs and config pasted below. 1. php5-common, php5-memcache, and php5-mysql are all

Hello, We use Asterisk Realtime for our billing software. 200+ installations of Asterisk with Realtime, but I see this for the first time. Asterisk 1.4.17, Addons 1.4.5, No patches, no NAT - just plain simple installation. With debug I can see: [Jan 30 22:38:21] DEBUG[27885]: res_config_mysql.c:662 mysql_reconnect: MySQL RealTime: Everything is fine. [Jan 30 22:38:21] DEBUG[27885]:

Is it possible to access @resource variables inside a type? I would like to make some decisions on parameters based on other parameters that may have already been set. For example, --- newparam(:param1) do Puppet.debug "Found drivesperarray parameter" desc "parameter 1" validate do |value| if resource[:otherparam] then #dosomething else

Hi. I seem to have the following problem. This is a code from my custom type: newproperty(:kernel_options) do desc "Kernel options for installation boot." defaultto {} def insync?(is) # @should is an Array. see lib/puppet/type.rb insync? should = @should.first # if members of hashes are not the same, something # was added or removed from

Hi there, I''m trying to setup Glassfish config management using puppet. I''ve found larstobi''s module here <https://github.com/larstobi/puppet-glassfish/>which I''ve cloned and am starting to tweak, as it would appear that the mentioned module is based on Solaris, therefore I''m starting to add support for EL. My code tree is

Morning all I''m working on converting some of my NetApp providers to prefetch/flush style to try and optimize performance. I''ve hit an issue on my Netapp_user provider, around handling resource creation versus resource modification? What''s the easiest way to differentiate? Current code is here:

How are people upgrading puppet itself on their hosts that run puppetd? Can puppet be used to upgrade to a new puppet package via gem, rpm or some other package provider? How do you handle restarting? Just hoping theres a better way than "ssh and a for loop" or having to have another configuration management system installed.

Hi! We are currently working on a science project and implemented a FunctionPass that clones a function (more precisely a constructor of a struct/class) and adds a parameter. First, we create a new function with a new function type, which includes the newly added parameter: Function *NF = Function::Create(NewFTy, F.getLinkage(), F.getName() + "Cloned", F.getParent()); and after
