After reading recent posts by R.I. Pienaar [1] and Craig Dunn [2] I was inspired to not only refactor my puppet code, but also write about the process and one idea on how to combine these two patterns. I''ve currently completed parts 1 and 2, and plan on completing part 3 this week. Part 1 can be found at http://blog.keepingyouhonest.net/?p=435 I''m sharing this to solicit

Hi all! I''m new on puppet, and I making my firsts classes. I have defined an example class to install 7Zip on Windows servers, it runs right, but I would like to improve it. The problem is that each time that I execute the "puppet agent --test" it downloads the 7zip.msi file, although it is really installed. So, my question is: Is possible to avoid the download of the

Hi All I have just published a module that synchronises users and groups from Active Directory into a Puppet manifest, which can then be rolled out to subscribed agents/workstations. The module maintains generated uids and gids in an SQLite database. It has only been tested on Puppet Enterprise 2.6.1 and RHEL 6.3 so far, at my end. The module is called lpep and you can view it at

I''m in the process of trying to get automated testing for my modules, using puppet-lint, rspec-puppet, puppetlabs_spec_helper and Jenkins. Are there any automated, or semi-automated ways to ensure coverage on my tests? At the moment I am writing tests for existing modules, but I also need to be able to be relatively certain that tests are updated as modules are, and minimize reliance

I want to to ensure a file, and if the content changes a subscribed exec should fire. file { "/etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/scx-host-$fqdn.pem": checksum => "md5", } exec { "/etc/init.d/scx-cimd restart": subscribe => File["/etc/opt/microsoft/scx/ssl/scx-host-$fqdn.pem"], refreshonly => true } The file is

Hi everyone, I recently ran into an issue where my puppetmaster can''t run puppet on itself. It errors out with the following: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: execution expired Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run I''m running Puppet 3 with passanger and puppetdb (hsql).

I need to produce a line in a config file in the format x = "ip1,ip2,ip3" I am using the method below to sort the hash before iterating over it. However, as you can see there will always be a final comma which breaks the app that uses this config file. Does anyone know how I could remove the final comma? ipv4_bind_addresses = "<% routes.sort_by {|key, v| key}.each do |key,

Is there an easy way to convert a puppet client into being a puppet master? Here''s the scenario. I''m using puppet to configure all my systems, and would like it to be able to deploy a new puppet master as well. We have systems worldwide so having local puppet masters is very desirable for fault tolerance. So Kickstart (via cobbler) installs a puppet client during the initial

In a bunch of my templates and manifests, I need to have logic which depends on whether or not a particular (other) puppet class is going to be installed on the machine. For example, for setting up the proper nagios monitors, you''d want to say something like "if this machine has the apache class, then configure apache monitoring" It''s not feasible I think to put this

Hey all, I have a question regarding the choice to move to spaces (rather than tabs) in the editor. May I ask the reasoning behind this? Furthermore, is there a way to revert to the ''old style'' that used tabs instead? I prefer this, as it makes the code look cleaner. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users"

I have two puppet master servers in my fledgling puppet infrastructure, a production one and a dev one. I have configured the production one as the authoritative CA, and I have one test agent machine which I''m switching back and forth with the "server" option in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf. When I point the agent at the production server and do puppet agent -t, it sets
