Hi, This follows on a bit from the previous thread ''trouble with hiera and puppet defines'' [1] Up to now I''ve had a large file of virtual resources and then enabled them on demand on various services. The very standard. @metric{''1234: one => 1 two => [1,2] } @metric{''abcd'': one => a, two => [b,c] } and

Hi, if possible can someone post a working example please ? I am using hiera => puppet => augeas. cat myserver.yaml --- myserver: "Birthday": ''1'' "Debug": ''5'' The no. of settings will change, so i would like to use a hash here. The hiera lookup works already: >hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml -h myserver

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 =

Hiera-Puppet 1.0.0rc1 is a feature release candidate designed to accompany Puppet 3.0 and Hiera 1.0. It includes Puppet functions for hiera and also the puppet backend for hiera lookups. Downloads are available: * Source http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/hiera/hiera-puppet-1.0.0rc1.tar.gz * Apt and yum development repositories * Apple package

Hi folks, Is there a way to test the result of a hiera_hash() lookup in a manifest? I am trying to use hiera to do most of my configuration, like this for example: mysql::grants: ''user1@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv ''user2@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv - insert_priv - lock_tables_priv I have a wrapper

When using "include" to include a class Hiera helpfully performs an autolookup on the parameters of the included class. Specially-named variable names are automatically pulled from the Hiera datastore(s) and passed into the included module. This is pretty awesome. But it looks like included resources _only_ perform a hiera() lookup. If we have a hash defined in several levels of our

Howdy: I need some help please to get hiera configuration data derived from YAML, thru puppet. I have studied Internet search results and puppet documentation on create_resources and custom defines but need a little help along. I can print out the YAML from variables, arrays, and, finally, hashes too from a puppet manifest. One thing that is stumping me is how to access from the custom define

Hi, To my surprise hashes passed to class parameters pulled from hiera with :merge_behavior: deeper, are not merged "as expected", where as hiera_hash does work "as expected". Or to rephrase: they behave differently, despite merge_behavior being set. I found a snippet documenting this here: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/lookup_types.html#deep-merging-in-hiera--120

Given the following hiera hash: common.yaml: --- *allowed_ips:* * "First IP": 1.2.3.4* * "Second IP": 5.6.7.8* and the module: *class iptables ($role) {* * file {/tmp/test:* * content => template(iptables/test.erb)* * }* *}* with the corresponding template test.erb: *<% role.each do |role| -%> * * code* *<% end %>* *<%

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

I am trying to use the same hiera hash to create the mount point and mounts. (Would be nice if mount could create the mount points using 3.1.1) My plan was to define create_mount_points and use create_resources with the same hash, and just though away what I dont use.... maybe there is a better means? Here is the mount class: class fstab::mounts ( $config = undef ) { $defaults = {

Is it possible to have Hiera look at a key set for the node first, before looking at other items in the hierarchy? In particular - I''m using Puppet Dashboard and am setting keys & params for there, so I would like for any value set there for a node to be used over another item in the hiera hierachy. What value would I have to specify in the hierarchy for this, if it is possible?

I have these three modules with the following structure: |-- modules | |-- create_resources | | |-- LICENSE | | |-- Modulefile | | |-- README | | |-- lib | | | `-- puppet | | | `-- parser | | | `-- functions | | | `-- create_resources.rb | | |-- spec | | | |-- spec.opts | | | |-- spec_helper.rb | | | `-- unit

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 all, I''m interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into Hiera. Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get it to work the way I thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I''ve read so far don''t address it. The class (in init.pp): class users { $system_users =

Hello, I''m trying to come up with a generic wrapper class for use with hiera so that I can have a service that is completely managed and configured via hiera and its own puppet module to be notified by Puppet of changes to a file or other resource managed by a different class/module. The example I''m using here is the management of /etc/security/limits.conf for a service account

I just installed puppet 3 (3.0.0-0.1rc3puppetlabs1) on a 32bit Ubuntu 12.04 ''server'' VM. I used the packages for the install. I then copied over my existing modules and manifests from my production 2.7.x puppet master, and also my hiera.yaml and hieradata/*. When I run puppet agent --test I get the following: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error

Hi folks, I''ve poked around the language reference, and havent found anything on this so far. I''d like to be able to force a clean early exit from a module. WITHOUT encasing the whole body of the module in an if statement. What I''m looking for: class somemodule { #no this isnt going to be a global variable I''m just using that as an example, if

After digressing into this discussion on #puppet last night, I was wondering what the community feelings are on ENCs vs Hiera... I know that Dashboard/Console still exists, but have heard rumors (for years) of it being either replaced by something else, or totally rewritten. Then there's Foreman, and a bunch of us with homegrown ENCs. On the other hand, it seems that the bleeding edge of the

Hi, I''m trying to use standard hiera on puppet (gentoo). I simply did # gem install hiera Then setup /etc/hiera.yaml When i call the hiera() function in puppet i get "Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function hiera at /data/puppet/manifests/ site.pp:27" Is there a step that I''m missing? BTW. standalone hiera works fine. -- You received this message because you
