I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean?

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

I am trying to write a define type which will use an array but in the meantime have an argument pass to it that sets a case. See for example : define link_files ($linkcase) { case $linkcase { "var" : { file { "${name}_exelink" : path => "/var/log/puppet/${name}_log", ensure => link,

Hi, I''m using PuppetDB with builtin backend, haven''t switched yet to postgresql, and I''m starting to see decrease in performance of my agent runs.

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 set up boolean values in Hiera, but with no luck. For example, I''m using puppetlabs-haproxy module, and this is a code snippet: class haproxy ( $manage_service = true, ... ) inherits haproxy::params { ... if $manage_service { } } Now, this is how I set up values in hiera: haproxy::manage_service: false But, it seems that

Hi I have installed passenger on many machine and this is my 3rd puppet master on CentOS 6. This one is giving me problems and I have been trying with different gem versions and still no go.

I started getting the following errors from my puppet master: > Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter provider at /some/module/manifests/foo.pp The module would vary, but the error was always the same.

Hi. I''m getting lots of warning like this one from puppet-lint: WARNING: line 67 has more than 80 characters Now, I don''t like warnings, so any idea how should I rewrite this line for example, to void the warning? package {''rpmforge-release'': ensure => ''0.5.2-2.el6.rf'', provider => ''rpm'', source =>

Hi. I encountered a following problem, if I state for example: package{"aspell-en": ensure => absent, } package{"aspell": ensure => absent, } I get error in logs because of dependencies. It seems that puppet uses ''yum'' for installation on CentOS and ''rpm -e'' for removal of packages, so it cannot handle this kind of dependencies:

I''m using puppet 3.0 i install puppet by these two command: sudo rpm -i http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/5/products/i386/puppetlabs-release-5-6.noarch.rpm sudo yum install puppet-server as http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#for-red-hat-enterprise-linux-and-derivatives and

Hi! I am using mainly Samba 3.5 on CentOS, and I was very pleased with idmap_rid backend for SID-to-RID mappings. But on Solaris 10, I can only use 3.6 because OpenCSW ships only 3.6. Problem is, things are changed and are not working as expected... Here is my config on RHEL Samba 3.5: [global] workgroup = WINDOMAIN realm = WINDOMAIN.LOCAL server string = localserver

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

Hi. I can see that this is a long long standing issue... Apparently things changed in Windows 2008 R2, and after upgrade of domain from R1 to R2 cifs mounts don't work anymore between Linux servers.

I have a problem with puppet on a machine which has public and private IP address. My nodes are on private lan, and hostname of master is FQDN of the public IP. Client''s just cannot connect.

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?

Hi. I have an interesting use case. OSSEC is security tool based on server-client architecture. Server generates keys for agents, and every agent has different key. Now I want to distribute these keys via puppet. I''ve come accross hiera and installed it, and it works superbly, but how to store per-node key in hiera? This is my idea: hiera,yaml: --- :hierarchy: -
