similar to: multiple pamameter values in puppet dashboard ENC

I have just set up my puppet dashboard to be used as a ENC. This is for the time being the easiest way to get support guys to add nodes to classes. I have to use global parameters in my modules if I would like to declare parameters using dashboard as the ENC. So I have a module which does this: class resolver ($domain_name=$::domainname, $search_path=$::searchpath,

Hello, I am trying to setup a template with data being passed in as a long string of data which is being returned via extlookup() i.e. $resolvers = "10.10.10.10 11.11.11.11.12.12.12.12" The template should split those up and put a nameserver entry per line in /etc/resolv.conf I have this in the template now:- <%=

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 have a puppet master install which uses puppetdb. I also have puppet dashboard installed with the inventory service running. I want multiple puppet masters using a single puppetDB server. Puppetdb is installed on separate vm. How can I get the dashboard inventory to use the puppetdb server to get the inventory records? Where do I configure the dashboard inventory so it uses puppetdb? I

Hi, I was asked by my boss if puppet can handle the following scenario. - 2 server (A and B) - same config for each server, eg. /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver 1.2.3.4) - but B should have a local unique requirement of another nameserver 5.6.7.8 so, A will have nameserver 1.2.3.4 but B will have nameserver 5.6.7.8 nameserver 1.2.3.4 when we change the global nameserver 1.2.3.4 to 9.8.7.6, it

I''m trying to setup dashboard as a node classifier w/puppet 2.6.14. Not sure why this is not working... In puppet.conf on the master I have: node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /usr/bin/env PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http:// localhost /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/bin/external_node The agent''s return: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

Hi, I have been trying to improve the coding of some of my puppet recipes and had some trouble so wrote this: http://blog.wl0.org/2011/05/thoughts-about-extlookup-in-puppet/ Comments on the web seem to indicate that extlookup() solves "all problems" but I don''t really see that and hence have proposed a possible way to keep the data closer together and make the extlookup()

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

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

Hi, I have a template which looks like this <% scope.lookupvar(''openldap::params::ldapservers'').each do |var| -%> olcSyncrepl: {0}rid=001 provider="ldap://<%= var %>:389" type=refreshAndPer sist retry="5 5 300 +" searchbase="<%= scope.lookupvar(''openldap::params::searchbase'') %>" attrs="*,+" bindmeth

Hi guys, I''m trying to do the following in my template: location <%= location %> { proxy_pass <%= proxy %>; <% if scope.lookupvar(''nginx::resource::location::proxy_header'') then scope.lookupvar(''nginx::resource::location::proxy_header'').each do |header| %> proxy_set_header <%= header %> <% end

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

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 folks, when I try to do something like: define railsproject($name, $uid, $gid, $userpass, $sqlpass) { mysql_database { "$name_staging": ensure => present } mysql_database { "$name_production": ensure => present} ....more stuff... } I get: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition: Mysql_database[] is already

Hi, Sometime when I attach a dataset, R gives me the following message/warning:"The following object(s) are masked from package:datasets: column_name". Does anyone know what it means? Since it seems that the dataset was attached and I could manipulate the data from the dataset without problems, I am wondering what was R trying to tell me. Thanks, Tom [[alternative HTML version

I read the guide at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scope_and_puppet.htmland others'' mail, i am a little confused now, below is my understanding: 1. top scope only refers to site.pp, not include node definitions and facts. 2. in puppet class, using variables not local, must specify the namespace, like $class::variable, if it''s a top scope variable or a fact variable or a

I want to have a parametrized class with lookup from params.pp but I keep getting into problems. init.pp: class foo ( $bar = $foo::params::bar, $foofoo = $foo::params::foofoo ) inherits foo::params { file {''/tmp/foobar'': content => template("foo/foobar.erb"), } } params: class foo::params { $bar = true if $foo::bar { $foobar =

I''m having some issues trying to track down a problem I''m having parsing a simple template, using create_resources and Hiera. Here''s my setup (abridged): ../hieradata/settings.yaml: *global:* * variables:* * env: foo* * * *appSpecific:* * serverName: someServer* ../modules/test/manifests/init.pp: *class test {* * create_resources(test::variables,

Hi, I''m looking to combine a couple of fact names with the value of a class parameter to create and lookup the resulting fact''s value. Is that possible? For example, my class will take the parameter "my_default_nic" from beyond. So I know that as long as $my_default_nic exists on the client, then so will facts like macaddress_<NIC>, netmask_<NIC>,

Hi all, I have three parameterized classes, named mq, mq_gsk and apache. The mq class always calls the mq_gsk class, but the apache class should only call the mq_gsk class when the mq class is not used in a hosts'' node definition Here is my configuration class mq ( $gsk_version = undef ) { require mq::params < ..... > class { ''mq_gsk'':
