I am attempting to set some variables in my manifest and I amd seeing a result I don''t quite understand. Here is a section of code from my manifest: $boot_time = generate(''/usr/bin/env'', ''/bin/date'', ''+%H:%m'') notice("boot_time => $boot_time") $boot_hour =

Hi all, Been searching the net for a few hours now. I have a basic operation I wish to perform but, cannot find examples close enough to what I''m after to implement it myself. This is what I want to do: $version = ''10.2.0'' I want to manipulate the string to make a new var ($cutversion), equal just 102. For example in perl (since I know it): $version =

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 have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

Hello, I have a small Puppet 2.7 module to configure Sonatype Nexus Professional. The module takes, among other things, a baseurl in the form of "http://example.com/path" and I''d like it to extract the "/path" from that variable into a separate variable IF an optional "path" variable haven''t been supplied. Here is an extract: class

I''m working on a module to handle creating and populating Python virtualenvs. Without going into too much detail, basically these are nicely-encapsulated environments into which python packages can be installed and run. It''s not uncommon to have several virtualenvs on a system, potentially with the same packages installed (maybe different versions). Puppet''s defines

All, Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate functions in the Stdlib? If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea what actually threw the error. Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling class/define/stack was blowing up. Thanks, Trevor

I have a module located at /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/ruby. I n this I have a manifests folder with two .pp files - init.pp and gemInstall.pp. In one of my node def files I have: include ruby ruby::gemInstall { ''someGem-version.gem'': path => ''/path/to/agent/local/gem/repo'', } ruby::gemInstall is a define, and it has some logic to get around

In puppet stdlib doc here at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib, it only mentions its support for puppet 2.6 and puppet 2.7. Puppet 3.0.1 is not listed there. Why puppet 3.x is not listed in the above doc as supported? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. To post to this group, send email to

I''m confused about this... https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/ I see a lot of functions there that are the same as the ones that come standard with puppet. If I create a module and dump this stuff in there, what happens to the existing stuff? How does puppet know which one to use?

I have been working on adding some predicate functions to puppetlabs-stdlib that test things based on ''interfaces'' and related facts. The functions themselves seem to work fine in my manifest-based smoketests, but I am running into trouble that may or may not be due to my ignorance about rspec or Facter. Something needs to be done to initialize Facter because

I´m trying to utilize the new stdlib module, but got stuck after installation on my puppet server. I´ve tried to use the included test file file_line.pp on the server, but it´s only creating the file - but not managing the content. the same problem on my clients (the new provider file_line has been synced), it´s just not working: file_line { ''puppet master host

I''m trying to manipulate the following facter variable: ipaddress => 10.85.207.2 What I need is the second group of digits. If it''s 84 then location is A, but if it''s 85 then location is B. In puppet I couldn''t grab this second set of digits, but maybe there is a way? I''ve already tried to make a custom fact, but my ruby knowledge is *ahem* pretty

In my network every subnets default gateway is X.X.X.1. That router gateway is always running ntpd which I want to give be default as the ntp server in every hosts ntp.conf. Since there is no official "default gateway" fact yet, what I want to be able to do in my manifest is take the $ipaddress fact and turn it into the gateway for that subnet. For example... IP = 10.1.1.12 GW =

Hello, i have a problem in my sudo manifest file, because in the variable $name comes sometimes usernames like user.lastname, but i need for sudo (includedir */etc/sudoers.d/*) file names with no dots (like user_lastname). I need a new variable, where is the dots change by underscores. My first try was like this, but it isn''t working well. $name_underscore = "`echo $name | sed

Hello All, I''ve run into an issue where an array that''s being passed into a defined type is being "flattened" when it''s inclosed in double quotes and I''m not sure how to get around this. This is happening a the pdxcat/amanda module and I''ve raised an github issues for this but wanted to query the community as a whole. The issue and my branch

Hi all, I''d like to specify a base_directory and a list of directories (as variables that may be pulled via hiera later) that will be created under that base directory. base_dir = "/home/base" bars = ["a", "b", "c"] bars will be used to create the folders under base and also part of the information going into building a template so I

llvm/cmake/modules/HandleLLVMStdlib.cmake specifies "-stdlib=libc++" for CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS when LLVM_ENABLE_LIBCXX and CXX_SUPPORTS_STDLIB. From what I can see this is a flag intended for the linker and not the compiler. I'd like to submit a change to delete CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS from this append() but I wanted to check in with the list to see if that makes sense or if there are other

Hi, I have a fresh CentOS 5.8 Vagrant VM that I''m using to emulate a customer''s server. During the first Puppet run, it takes 13 minutes and 48 seconds to sync the Puppet Labs stdlib module. On a similar Ubuntu 12.04.1 Vagrant VM, Puppet starts up, and almost instantly goes from plugin sync to facter load. Is this load time for stdlib on a RHEL variant normal?

Hi, I am new to Ruby ERB and inline_template. Can anyone spot what''s wrong with this inline_template? $moddedContent = inline_template("<%= puts gets(nil).gsub(/one two three/,\"\") /tmp/blah %>") exec { "/bin/echo ''${moddedContent}'' > /tmp/blah" : } When I try to apply it, I
