Hi All, I am using Vagrant to provision a box (CentOS 6.x) with puppet provisioner. The box is built by using veewee, with ruby 1.8.7 and puppet 3.2 iinstalled, and the vagrant environment layout is, . ├── Gemfile ├── Gemfile.lock ├── Rakefile ├── Vagrantfile ├── definitions │ └── centos-6.3.minimal ├── hiera │ └── data ├── iso │ ├── CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.iso │ └──

Hello, I''m running Puppet agent stand-alone on Windows. I got data-in-modules working. However, no matter what I put into the module hiera.yaml, I can only override the defaults from common.yaml by osfamily (and not, e.g., by environment). In the setup below the following command outputs: >puppet apply --binder -e "notice lookup (''my_key'')"

Hi guys, I''m looking for a way to pass environment variables to my Rails app via Mongrel. I want to conditionally execute code in environment.rb based on these environment variables. Background: 1. I have some special stuff I want to do when my Rails app first starts 2. So, stuff it in environment.rb in after_initialize, right? 3. Not this time. I have several other background

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",

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

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

hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

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, 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 everyone, The hiera command line program (version 0.3.0) is currently taking around 2 seconds per invocation. This seems quite slow to me, but is probably not an issue for most users. We have a number of legacy machines that for one reason or another have not been puppetised yet, and probably won''t be anytime soon, so I have a somewhat clever script that, for each of these

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

What is the right path for ruby gems on puppet master. 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 /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0 Later when I updated to new version of hiera then it installed (via gem install) under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-1.1.1

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"

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

I''ve been working on getting spec tests on all of my modules and am down to ones that use hiera and don''t have any reasonable defaults. It looks like there is a project on GH (https://github.com/amfranz/rspec-hiera-puppet) that is designed to fill this need, but for the life of me I cannot make it work. FriedBob helped out on the IRC channel some with his solution of including

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

Hi, If I have understood it correctly, puppet 3.0.0 will include / require hiera. In order to add support for hiera directly in Geppetto I downloaded the puppet 3.0.0rc tarball expecting to find the puppet-hiera functions, but they where not there. What is the expected packaging going to be when 3.0.0 is released? Where should I expect the hiera "parser functions" to be located?

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

Hi all! I''m trying to setup a puppet module for sudo that will write multiple files with separate data for each file, all dependent on the hiera hierarchy. Here''s the relevant portion of my hiera.yaml: > :hierarchy: > > - "datacenter/app/role/node/%{::clientcert}" > > - "datacenter/app/role/%{::server_role}" > > -

Hi all, I am trying to understand how does hiera puppet backend work, so I created the following example: hiera.yaml has only: --- :backends: - puppet --- And the node: node ''testnode'' { $variable = ''kk'' $thing = hiera ("variable") notify { "note: $thing": } } I don''t want to use the yaml backend for now, just want to
