I've been designing the infrastructure for a new team using CentOS 6 and Puppet. I'm still learning Puppet, but thought I had things pretty well under control. After this week, I'm beginning to wonder? :-) In the last week I've had versions of three packages disappear from the yum repositories I'm using, both EPEL and the standard ones from a base CentOS 6.3 install. Since

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

Hello I''d love a bit of advice in terms of how I should best go about this. I am creating a bunch of vhosts, their definitions are stored in json (I''m using heira) that json file will be generated from data held on another server. I''m just using the puppetlabs apache module and create_resources to then generate all the vhosts and their directories etc. I''m

Hi, I''ve just run into a small glitch with Hiera. I have a YAML file that has a definition like this: puppet_agent_splay: false but the run fails because of "err: Could not find data item puppet_agent_splay in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /puppet/modules/puppet/manifests/agent/config.pp:6 on node slave1.local" Digging into this it turns out that lookup in

Hi, Before I begin, my environment consists of a standard master/client config with the exception that all my clients run under a non-root user. I have to use non-root so I can''t simply restart under root to fix the problem. Master -> 3.1.1 Client -> 2.7.17 using mostly the hiera() function in my classes. problem: I have run into an issue today where my custom fact is not

Hi Puppet Users, For some bizzare reason I am unable to use hiera-puppet with a parameterised class. The output is: ---------------------------- root@hiera hieratest/manifests# puppet apply -e "include hieratest" Error: undefined method `catalog'' for #<Hash:0xb6c53d00> at line 1 on node hiera.localdomain Wrapped exception: undefined method `catalog'' for

Hi Puppet Users, According to the installation instructions (https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera#installation) located in the readme.md file at https://github.com/puppetlabs/hiera there should be an apt package located at apt.puppetlabs.com. I have looked within the repo and cannot find a package. Is this a documentation error or is there a deb package? Thanks, Peter -- You received this

Hello, just upgraded Hiera from ver. 1.2.1 to 1.3.0 and broke our puppet environment. :) It seems that there are sizeable changes related to variable interpolation Here is an error during Puppet run: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error Hiera::InterpolationLoop: Detected in [::environment] at /home/ubuntu/environments/project_dev/manifests/site.pp:35 on node

Hi list, I ran again against a long standing bug / feature request but from a new angle: creating directories with parents ( http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/86). I wanted to create a module, where a path could be supplied with a class parameter. The path would be used in a rsync configuration, so I would like to be sure the path exists. As I want the module to be general and completely

I'm trying to set up cross-subnet browsing using Samba on a Linux box and a Sparc UltraEnterprise with Win95 and NT Workstation clients. I'm using the Sparc as the domain master and also as the WINS server on the 108 subnet. The Linux box is the local master on the 46 subnet. Both are running Samba 1.9.17alpha4. I can see the conversation between the two samba servers and the browse

Hi, I have a puppetmaster - agent architecture. I have a module for the vsftpd configuracion in the agents. The configuration of the value ''max_per_ip'' in the agents may vary. This is a line of the manifest: $max_per_ip = hiera(''max_per_ip'',10) I want to specify different values for each agent using hiera. The problem is I am only able to specify the

Hello I am setting up servers with a puppetmaster and various nodes, all running Debian Wheezy with the Puppet 3 packages from Puppetlabs. The Puppetmaster is configured with Passenger and Apache. I am trying to use hiera-gpg to encrypt passwords, I have it installed and have created a key as described here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2011/10/secret-variables-in-puppet-with-hiera-and-gpg/ On

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, I''m trying to reconcile the advice in the Puppet 3 class doc with our current use of Hiera. We currently retrieve variables from Hiera in one big collection while the Puppet 3 doc seems to indicate storing variables without the collection. For example, we have a module to manage a log indexer. In its init.pp it says: class log_indexer( $log_indexer_conf =

Hello, I would like to find a few to use files available in a module for the execution of a particular resource, without having to stage the file explicitly onto the client and possibly having to clean it up afterwards. (This could also apply to content coming from templates.) The use-cases I have in mind are: running a SQL file (to set up some content in a database), extracting an archive

I need to create a custom fact based on a parametric information (I need to get the IP of another machine knowing the hostname, the machine name could be different for different nodes so I need it parameteric and I recover the machine hostname from a hiera, but for the purpose of the question it could also be a data in the module definition). I''m installing a cluster and need to get
