similar to: Dynamic yum.conf 'exclude' line

Hi, It''s easy enough to modify, say, the "exclude" variable in /etc/yum.conf with something like: augeas { yum_exclude_kernel: context => ''/files/etc/yum.conf/main'', changes => ''set exclude kernel*'' } However, I''d like a more flexible system where I can "build" the list of excludes from

In using Hiera, what is the difference between calling_module and module_name? Which is should be used? :hierarchy: - %{environment}/%{calling_module}/common - %{environment}/%{module_name}/common Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi, starting to use hiera in earnest now (still on puppet 2.6 but planning an upgrade to 3.x this summer). the heirarchy looks for fqdn, then network_eth0, then ''default''. Some of our subnets don''t want to set http_proxy environment variables, the rest do. so default.json has a ''http_proxy_url'' key in it, but I want to exclude it for 10.9.8.7. Is

This may be a dumb question, but here goes So I''m running on Puppet 3.1.1 on RHEL5, and i''ve been using Hiera since 2.5/2.6 ish and it''s been great!! I was reading up on Automatic Parameter Lookups and would love to use it for my modules. But I can''t seem to ever get Hiera/Puppet to load the value i''ve set in my yaml files. I feel like I must be

I''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

I am having a bit of difficulty implementing hiera-gpg; particularly with accomplishing the deencryption in my manifests. Can anyone either provide a simple example or point me to a good resource? I have searched alot and am still struggling. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks! Bee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users"

Hi All, I have a particular requirement where a Puppet managed group needs to have several members that are either local and not managed by Puppet (e.g. mysql) or they reside in LDAP. Apart from running an exec call to "groupmems", is there another way to achieve this? Thanks in advance. Gonzalo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

is anybody using hiera with puppet-3 and per-module hierarchy? it seems calling_module/calling_class is entirely broken now. see: http://pastebin.com/CfbW5Kcu and #16730 and PR1214 (which only fixes backend_puppet i think). anyone has some unofficial patches? because i''m just stuck in migration :( please don''t advise me to use data bindings as there is no way to use them in

hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

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,

Hi everyone, I currently have a giant file with default variables I use in a lot of my modules and I override those at the node level if I need to. I thought I would give porting that data into a hiera setup. I worked out how to specify my data sources and started to make a go at moving some of my variables in the default data file. I thought heira would be smart and set a variable to undef if

This is more of a style question than implementation. I have a bunch of nodes running the same software but in many cases they need config files that are customized for that specific node. I was thinking I could push all the main files from the app through a central class and have separate classes for each individual node that has the config files. Is this the best way to do this or does it

Hi all, We''ve recently started exploring the role / profile / component module described by Craig Dunn in his blog here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ and discussed on the list the other day. As I was implementing this for a profile using the apache module, I realized that I could make another refinement to our approach by using

This is the situation I have: All my hosts are the* same OS.* All my host are in the* same puppet environment,* so I cannot use %{environment} I have a module that sets all the *basic* functionality for the OS, resolution, authentication, security, packages, etc I have a module for each application hosted. At the moment all the ''data'' is in Puppet, mostly in parametrised

Hi everyone, Here are the manifest I am using: In file ''*modules/test/manifest/init.pp*'': class test ( $test = undef, ) { notice("Here is the message: ${test}") } Now in ''*modules/saas/manifests/client/sudo.pp*'': class saas::client::sudo { class { ''test'': } } Now in ''*manifests/sites.pp*'': import

I''ve been working on getting spec tests on all of my modules and am down to ones that use hiera and don''t have any reasonable defaults. It looks like there is a project on GH (https://github.com/amfranz/rspec-hiera-puppet) that is designed to fill this need, but for the life of me I cannot make it work. FriedBob helped out on the IRC channel some with his solution of including

Dear all, This is a continuation of another thread, but I think the question diverged enough to create a new one. I have a hiera hierarchy like this: :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{secundary_group} - %{primary_group} - %{productname} - all And I need to define the secondary/primary groups as facts, on the nodes. Gary has suggested me to use plugins, that they will provide the facts before

Hi everyone, The hiera command line program (version 0.3.0) is currently taking around 2 seconds per invocation. This seems quite slow to me, but is probably not an issue for most users. We have a number of legacy machines that for one reason or another have not been puppetised yet, and probably won''t be anytime soon, so I have a somewhat clever script that, for each of these

Hello Puppeteers, please consider the following scenario: Puppet is supposed to set up similar (but not necessarily identical) groups of hosts for a range of customers. For each customer a dedicated filesystem tree needs to be established on host A. This should not be difficult using exported File resources, however: How do I make sure that only the exported File resource of the first created
