Ive struggled with the same problem of distributing variables and other generated data amongst hosts.
For external resources Ive found a great use in configuring a BackupPC server. Each node builds their backup configuration file with tag 'backuppc_server_conf' and the server retrieves all the generated files with that tag. What I havent been unable to solve, is making each nodes hiera values accessable to each other. My hierarchy is $fqdn->common. The very crude workaround Ive used is in a module, query foreman for all fqdn's. Then pass that to a define that 'redefines' fqdn variable before calling hiera. Is there alternatively a way to query resources like all mysql::db types? I would like to just get all the mysql::db instances on a given node so other nodes could use that data. This could be another way to configure backuppc or generate monitoring checks. - Trey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
