similar to: Test the result of a hiera_hash() lookup

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, 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

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

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 = {

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

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

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

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 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 all, I don''t know if I have hit a strange bug or it''s just an incorrect interpretation about how parameter autoloading works... Today I have been searching, analysing and about to hit my head against a wall trying to figure out why a call to hiera_hash was not merging data from top level among different hierarchies. The problem was that I was trying to do something

Hello, I have access to my database via command line and through workbench, and have access on the grant tables: mysql> SELECT host,user,password,select_priv,insert_priv FROM user; +------+-------+-------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+ | host | user | password | select_priv | insert_priv |

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,

First off, I''m not sure if I should be asking questions about puppetlabs modules here, if not, I apologise... I''m trying to at least setup my mysql replication user through the mysql module, but I seem to be unable to divine the correct way to do this. I''ve tried a number of different variations, but my user doesn''t get the repl_slave_priv on my user

I''m using puppet through Vagrant to manage my dev VM, and as part of that I have a few database grants that I run after creating users, but when I subsequently run vagrant up or provision these grants fail (because of some changes I make to the mysql config after they have been created.) I''m using database_grant to execute the grants, but there doesn''t seem to be a

Hello, I work for the CHTC (Center for High Throughput Computing) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. We utilize puppet for most of our configuration management. Currently we have a web application that performs the tasks of user account management. When a new user is registered with the application, the application does some very limited parsing of a puppet manifest that has

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 =

I have an application package that needs to be installed on certain application servers but before it can be installed, database access has to be setup on a database server. I have figured out how to export a resource on the app server that gets collected and realized on the database server, but I cannot figure out how to make the package on the app server depend on the exported resource

I''m trying to use create_resources to create a series of files with semi-custom content based on a template. This is what I have: foo.conf.erb: Name "<%= name %>" WorkingDir "<%= working_dir %>" ... a bunch of static entries YAML: configs: config1: Name: app1 WorkingDir: /var/app1 config2: Name: app2 WorkingDir: /var/app2

Hi all, We''ve recently started exploring the role / profile / component module described by Craig Dunn in his blog here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ and discussed on the list the other day. As I was implementing this for a profile using the apache module, I realized that I could make another refinement to our approach by using
