Hi all,
I submitted a ticket to Cfengine Support to find out if there's a way to
conditionally set an attribute in the common control body in
promises.cf, but I thought I'd ask here, too, in case anyone else has
run into this.
Cfengine Nova has a control_common parameter named host_licenses_paid
(compared to the value in a license file provided by Support). However,
I currently have 3 policy servers on one network (soon to be 5) and each
of the policy servers will support a different number of licensed hosts.
So I would like to figure out how to conditionally set the attribute
based on which policy server a host uses. Logically speaking, for
example:
# in promises.cf
body common control {
bundlesequence => { ... };
inputs => { ... };
my_policy_server_is_ps1::
host_licenses_paid => "10";
my_policy_server_is_ps2::
host_licenses_paid => "20";
my_policy_server_is_ps3::
host_licenses_paid => "30";
}
Unfortunately, since host_licenses_paid is processed very early on,
there's no opportunity that I can see to define the appropriate class.
What I'm trying to avoid is multiple promises.cf files, but the more I
think about this problem, the more inevitable such a solution seems.
Anyone have any other thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Justin
