Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

All- I''m using puppet 2.7.14. I''ve reviewed http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html but it doesn''t seem to cover what I''m attempting. Consider a module layout like this: $ tree mymodule mymodule |-- Modulefile |-- README |-- manifests | |-- init.pp | |-- special_type | | `-- prereqs.pp | `-- special_type.pp

Hi Folks, Like to get some advice on module organization. I have a system that has a few different components. One or more components can be installed on a host. The hosts also have a "type" dimension. This "type" dimension could (should) ideally be used to configure the system (fill in a bunch of variables). Problem is, I''m not sure how the best way to do

This is the situation I have: All my hosts are the* same OS.* All my host are in the* same puppet environment,* so I cannot use %{environment} I have a module that sets all the *basic* functionality for the OS, resolution, authentication, security, packages, etc I have a module for each application hosted. At the moment all the ''data'' is in Puppet, mostly in parametrised

Morning All I''m trying to use Hiera with Puppet 3.0 to streamline some of my module configuration... However I''m having issues using the ''*%{::clientcert}*'' variable as part of the hierarchy... Currently, my *hiera.yaml* file looks like: --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

I''ve begun using Hiera in combination with Foreman, primarily storing data that is best left in Array/Hash form. I''d like to be able to have a module, in this case BackupPC, query all the Hiera data for each node where the backup directories/databases are stored. Then use all that information on the BackupPC server to generate proper configuration files for each

Hi. I have an interesting use case. OSSEC is security tool based on server-client architecture. Server generates keys for agents, and every agent has different key. Now I want to distribute these keys via puppet. I''ve come accross hiera and installed it, and it works superbly, but how to store per-node key in hiera? This is my idea: hiera,yaml: --- :hierarchy: -

Hi, I''m trying to do something with Hiera, whereby the ''default'' configuration for a class is within it''s role/profile manifest, which can then be overridden on a node specific basis by hiera. As an example; class profile::base { class { ''::ntp'': servers => [''a'', ''b'', ''c'',

Hello, I''ve something strange : When I modify my hierarchy in my hiera.yaml, it can take up to several hours, for the modification to work. eg : I create a subdir in my hieradata, move all the concerned files into, modify my hiera.yaml > from : > :hierarchy: > - %{operatingsystem} > to : > :hierarchy: > - *os/*%{operatingsystem} > but the changes

Hi guys, i have a hiera.yaml config file like this: --- :hierarchy: - %{env}/%{tmp_module_name} - %{env}/%{tmp_module_name}.common :backends: - yaml :yaml: :datadir: ''/etc/puppet/hieradata'' I also have a test/some_module.yaml file like this: --- db: root : pass port : ''3306'' I am also using the hiera function

Hey there, I''m new to hiera and I'' m looking to configure it to use multiple environments. I''m able to query hiera keys from using the hiera CLI, however my clients seem to be having problems identifying the look up variables. *On the puppet master, CLI query* [root@puppet-dev puppet]# hiera -a sshpackages environment=development ["openssh",

I am having a bit of difficulty implementing hiera-gpg; particularly with accomplishing the deencryption in my manifests. Can anyone either provide a simple example or point me to a good resource? I have searched alot and am still struggling. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks! Bee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users"

Trying to figure out the erwbgy/system plugin and just getting stuck.. first run it did some changes, but it ignored parameters for ntp and now its not refreshing if I update the yaml at all, Im slightly lost at what I may be missing :) hiera.yaml --- :hierarchy: - %{certname} - %{environment} - global - %{environment}/common :backends: - yaml :yaml: :datadir:

Hi, I''ve just got hiera deployed into a new puppet environment, and have defined a class as follows: modules/role/manifests/ui.pp ===================== class role::ui ( $public_hostname ) { notify {''role::ui::notify'': message => "role::ui configured for ${::data_center}; hostname: $public_hostname", } } This is then included into

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''m not sure at all what''s going on here, but I''ve spent a lot of time reading over the puppet hiera docs and setting everything up, but when I run puppet agent it just seems to ignore the hiera setup completely. Both the puppet master and agent nodes have exactly the same versions of puppet and hiera (installed via the official puppet APT repository). I''ve

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

Hi, I am trying to use Hiera in puppet 3 and I have two nodes that both need the same configuration. In this case they are two web servers which have the same apache configuration. Rather than creating two seperate hiera files for node1.yaml and node2.yaml is there a way to group these by role (e.g. webserver.yaml)? I want to avoid duplicating the configuration if possible and keep the data

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -

Hi everyone, I currently have a giant file with default variables I use in a lot of my modules and I override those at the node level if I need to. I thought I would give porting that data into a hiera setup. I worked out how to specify my data sources and started to make a go at moving some of my variables in the default data file. I thought heira would be smart and set a variable to undef if
