I have some middleware where the successful configuration of node B is dependent on the successful configuration of node A. Node B must pull additional information from node A during its configuration. Is there any built in functionality in puppet for checking the completion status of other nodes?

Hi all, I am using the sysctl provider from fiddyspence and it is doing a great job managing my system tuning. However, one thing that I would like to do is extend the provider to simply add the ability to insert a comment as part of the values that get written out so that visually on a system we can eye ball what the tuning parameter is being used for (so that we do not have to rely on

In resolving bug 15980, the pip package provider was changed to recognize the RedHat osfamily fact and use the executable name "pip-python" in those environments. This does not take into account environments where pip has been installed via easy_install or by custom rpm providers. In those environments (such as mine) this osfamily change breaks the pip provider, requiring as a

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

As some before me on the group, I have a problem getting the Chocolatey provider to work on Windows. I downloaded it from Github and placed it in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/chocolatey. (I am running Puppet Enterprise 2.7.19). On a Windows 8 client, I have a very simple manifest: class install_notepadplusplus { if $::osfamily == ''windows { $pkg =

I''m running into a weird issue with a custom package provider for PEAR. I''m using the provider I found here<https://raw.github.com/gist/305778/13f46dea6eba07e38778d7159644b4210ebe7bbe/pear.rb>and the provider itself works fine.

I am looking to extend one of the puppet modules -"mysql". I found that they are extending Puppet with types and providers. First off I am having a difficult time find any documentationo on this and I do not know Ruby that well. The problem that I am having is this, I have the following code: Puppet::Type.type(:database).provide(:mysql) do desc "Manages MySQL database."

hi everyone, i''m trying to roll out an .exe file for the puppet package provider "windows". my manifest looks like this: $package_source = "http://puppet.local.domain/base_check_mk/windows/check-mk-agent-1.2.3i1.exe" $package_name = "Check_MK Agent 1.2.3i1" package { "$package_name": ensure => installed, provider =>

Hi all, I use openldap and it''s newer slapd.d style of housing the configuration (as opposed to /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ). As such, to modify the config, the database itself, I''d prefer to use ldapmodify and ldapadd commands. I couldn''t find an existing ldap provider to nicely manage database entries (DNs), so I wrote one. It essentially does this: -

Morning all I''m working on converting some of my NetApp providers to prefetch/flush style to try and optimize performance. I''ve hit an issue on my Netapp_user provider, around handling resource creation versus resource modification? What''s the easiest way to differentiate? Current code is here:

hi, Just thinking how i could manage ldap server with puppet, using dynamic configuration. I would follow the next step : In the manifest : install required packages for ldap server doing a ''site specific'' basic configuration, meaning pushing a custon /etc/<ldapbasedir>/slapd.d develop some ldap type, to tweak online the ldap server. I think this would only be used

I have a package provider which is a modified form of one of the default ones in the FreeBSD ports version of Puppet 2.6.1r3. I placed the provider in /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules/test/lib/puppet/ provider/ and ran puppetd on the client with the following command line: puppetd -o --no-daemonize -l console --pluginsync --server example.net I got the following output: notice:

*Note, I''m very green when it comes to ruby development.. I''ve created a couple of custom providers and types, both of which rely on a particular ruby gem in order to function. How should I go about ensuring the gem dependency on the puppet clients before puppet syncs the plugins (the broken ''require'' in the provider will cause puppet to exit during a run)? On

rhel 6.4 puppet 3.1.1 I''ve written a puppet module for configuring qpidd brokers. I have installed the module in /usr/share/puppet/modules.

Now I''m trying to understand how I can do the same thing from inside a ruby script, instead of using

Hey guys, puppet n00b here. I think I already found an answer for my question here, but the topic was dated back in november of 2011, so I''m hoping things have changed since then!

I know this is not a Ruby mailing list but I am completely stumped. I''m writing a custom package provider for the tazpkg tool used in Slitaz Linux (http://www.slitaz.org/en/). I used the dpkg and apt package providers as templates. The provider can install a package just fine, the problem comes when a package is already installed and should not be installed again. It seems my REGEX is
