similar to: passing hiera data to custom fact

I have this, I think common, situation: - NodeDB VM with MySQL - NodeApp VM with an application that uses the MySQL DB Obivuously both needs to have information on the DB (like user, DB name, etc.) Since DB will be created in the NodeDB by the MySQL module from puppetlabs and the app will just connect to the DB and do its work, but need to set the configuration parameters. Now ... since App

I''m running a previously working set of modules with the Puppet master version 3.1.0-rc2. I''m getting the Error: stack level too deep Here is a chunk of the debug Debug: Scope(Class[Zabbix]): Retrieving template zabbix/zabbix.conf.php.erb Debug: template[/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/zabbix/templates/zabbix.conf.php.erb]: Bound template variables for

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

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

Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

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

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

Dear all, This is a continuation of another thread, but I think the question diverged enough to create a new one. I have a hiera hierarchy like this: :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{secundary_group} - %{primary_group} - %{productname} - all And I need to define the secondary/primary groups as facts, on the nodes. Gary has suggested me to use plugins, that they will provide the facts before

Hi Puppet Users, For some bizzare reason I am unable to use hiera-puppet with a parameterised class. The output is: ---------------------------- root@hiera hieratest/manifests# puppet apply -e "include hieratest" Error: undefined method `catalog'' for #<Hash:0xb6c53d00> at line 1 on node hiera.localdomain Wrapped exception: undefined method `catalog'' for

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

Hey all, I''ve been messing around with the hiera-foreman backend to see if it would let me migrate to hiera and use foreman and an ENC. https://github.com/torrancew/hiera-foreman It works by querying each node''s yaml file from foreman. Currently this code works when called from the hiera command line with the -m (mcollective option). It uses the mcollective facts to pull

Hi all, Over the weekend I came up with a new backend for hiera for looking up configuration values directly from a MySQL database that may be useful to some.... http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/03/introducing-hiera-mysql-mysql-backend-for-hiera/ http://github.com/crayfishx/hiera-mysql Regards Craig -- Craig Dunn | http://www.craigdunn.org Yahoo/Skype: craigrdunn | Twitter: @crayfishX --

Hi, I''m using Puppet 3.2.1 and heavily relying on hiera data bindings. I have the following situation: class software ( $my_content = undef, ) { file { ''/path/to/file'': content => $software::my_content, } } in hieradata/software.yaml (hiera.yaml seems ok): software::my_content: template(''mymodule/myfile.erb'') With this configuration I

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, Is there an easy way to test hiera lookup for a node? A node is not getting the value I expect from Hiera and I want a way to test this. I noticed that `hiera` has an option called `-i` to use the Puppet inventory service. With the latest (RC4 I believe) of Hiera I''m getting the following when I try to use that though: Puppet inventory service lookup failed: NoMethodError:

Hi all, I''m trying to work with hiera database in puppet and i''m having problems using %{variables} because they don''t get the values and i don''t know why. file hiera.yaml: cat hiera.yaml --- :backends: - yaml - puppet :hierarchy:- nodes/%{domain}/%{hostname} - os/%{operatingsystem}/%{operatingsystemrelease} -

All, I have found very few references to this error so I''m guessing I must be doing something wrong. I have just started using hiera and am trying to use it in the simplest way possible, I have a class that looks like this: class app_users2($compresslogs = hiera(''compresslogs'')) {

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?

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

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
