similar to: Really need some help:: Weird Issue with external data look up in puppet 2.6.11

Hi, I''m having a problem with extlookup not respecting the ''certname'' parameter[1].  When executing a puppet run with either the --certname or --fqdn parameters, it ends up using the specified SSL certificate and gets the correct node definition applied from the puppetmaster.  However, it still retrieves extlookup data using the node''s actual FQDN, not the one

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.

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

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 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

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 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

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.

I''ve been using foreman as an ENC and assigning node parameters for some time and it was clearly working but it apparently broke somewhere along the way and I can''t tell why. Here''s part of the modules/sudoers/manifests/sudoers_hostgroup.pp class sudoers::hostgroup { case hostgroup { default: { file{"/etc/sudoers.d/admins_web": ensure

Is there a way I can split a line in a manifest across multiple lines, ala shell style? ie: $include_postfix_module = extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ extlookup("IncludePostfixModule", \ "",

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

What is the right path for ruby gems on puppet master. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0 /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0 Later when I updated to new version of hiera then it installed (via gem install) under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-1.1.1

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"

Hi everyone. I am receiving an error on this line: hiera_include(''classes'') According to documentation here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/puppet.html#hiera-lookup-functions it seems to the standard way to call hiera_include. Has anyone run into this issue? It only happens after a single puppet run. Thank you Kyle C -- You received this message because you are

Hiera was properly working in my environment. But puppet was looking at old version even when I have the latest hiera gem installed. So I could''nt use json backend. But puppet is not looking at my latest hiera gem. Not sure when went wrong here. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0

Hi, We currently use ldap ENC to set server role variables and extlookup to set domain or environment variables. I have a suggestion regarding ldap use as an ENC - if a node within ldap has the environment attribute set then it should inherit/mixin (if available) from a node named after it''s environment. It could be populated with only puppetVar type attributes so that any environment

Hi All, I''ve been trying to use Hiera for node classification, my sit.pp is simple: node default { hiera_include("classes") } which has been working well with simple class definitions like: user@host$ cat testagent.yaml 2012-06-18 14:55:48 jon pts/13 --- classes: - motd Is anyone doing this in production? I''ve seen a little about this on line but it
