[foreman-users] puppet errors

2017-07-07 Thread David Zuckerman 
Hiya Katello/Foreman folks!

Sooo, I've inherited an instance here at work, and it has seemed to have 
broken, (the puppet end of it, I can build machines, but they're left 
unconfigured, and management of existing machines has also broken)... 

after running the following:
[PROD:root@uldcp-katello01:~/katello]#  katello-installer 
--certs-update-server
Marking certificate 
/root/ssl-build/uldcp-katello01.teletech.com/uldcp-katello01.teletech.com-apache
 
for update
Marking certificate 
/root/ssl-build/uldcp-katello01.teletech.com/uldcp-katello01.teletech.com-foreman-proxy
 
for update

it fails with the following:
(from /var/log/katello-installer/katello-installer.log)
[ERROR 2017-07-06 23:56:27 main]  Could not find any content at 
puppet:///modules/foreman/external_node_v2.rb
[ERROR 2017-07-06 23:56:27 main] 
 /Stage[main]/Foreman::Puppetmaster/File[/etc/puppet/node.rb]/ensure: 
change from absent to file failed: Could not find any content at 
puppet:///modules/foreman/external_node_v2.rb

So, I'm wondering if any of you have seen this before?

(running foreman version 1.10.4, and katello version 2.4)

Thanks in Advance!

Hi all

It's time for the next Foreman Community Demo! This time, the demo just
*happens* to be bang on our 8th birthday! So, join us at 3pm on Thu 13 Jul for a
special edition of the community demo, with special sauce on top of the usual
roundup of all the new & interesting developments from around our community.

As ever, more information is available on the event page [1] and the show
agenda is being compiled at the Foreman wiki [2]. If you have anything new,
cool tips, etc, that you'd like to share with the community, please do let me
know and I can arrange for you to be on the demo, or (if you can't make it) I
can demo for you.

As ever, we encourage live participation via the YouTube live chat, or in IRC

Re: [foreman-users] Finding parameters for a host

2017-07-07 Thread Brian Mc 
Thanks for the reply Greg,

I am looking to consume the data through the API, and your docs link and 
the term 'ENC data' (which is new to me) helped me find the answer.

The docs on parameters mention at the end of section 4.2.3:
"To see how Foreman is passing the parameters to Puppet, go to a Host and 
click the YAML button. You will be shown the exact YAML data sent to the 
Puppet master - the parameters will be in the “parameters” hash."

The short version of my question was, how do I get that data from the API? 
The answer is via /api/hosts//enc

Many thanks for solving an issue that has been plaguing me for most of the 
week!
Brian

Re: [foreman-users] Foreman host data not updating...

2017-07-07 Thread Greg Sutcliffe 
The obvious candidate is that facts aren't being uploaded, but you say
that's not the case (maybe double-check with something that changes
frequently like uptime?)

The next step would be to get some logs from the Foreman production.log
during a puppet agent run - ideally with logging set to debug and the
various loggers turned on (see Logging under https://theforeman.org/man
uals/1.15/#3.5.2ConfigurationOptions). Put that in a pastebin and lets
have a look at it :)

Re: [foreman-users] Plugin or tool to link Foreman to GIT

What exactly are you looking for? Are we talking about deploying
classes to disk, or importing classes into Foreman after a deployment?

For the former, Foreman doesn't care how the classes get to the
puppetserver. I personally use a bare git repo (in
/var/lib/puppet/puppet.git) and a post-commit hook that checks out the
repo to /etc. r10k certainly works to, as does a variety of other
methods.

If you're talking about importing the classes into Foreman after a
deployment, then there's a rake task you can execute on the Foreman
host (foreman-rake puppet:import:puppet_classes). Be careful with this
though - the UI offers a chance to review the changes (especially which
classes have been deleted), but the rake task will import the changes
with no confirmation. Be sure your commits don't have syntax errors in
if you go down this road ;)

Re: [foreman-users] Foreman 1.15.1 user data template issue with EC2/AWS

The OS has a user-data template, that's good - but did you mark the
Image in Foreman as requiring user-data? By default I think they
default to SSH-based provisioning, and there's a checkbox to make it
use user-data.

Re: [foreman-users] Finding parameters for a host

It's already in the ENC data that Foreman sends to Puppet (assuming the
host is in the hostgroup in question). When the ENC YAML is compiled,
Foreman will parse the parameters from least specific to most specific,
overriding ones with the same name as it goes. So if your hostgroup has
"class foo -> parameter bar = quux" you should see that on your host
directly (check the YAML button on the host page). But if the host has
"class foo -> parameter bar = qaaz" then you'll see that instead. The
exact hierarchy is listed in the manual, see:

https://theforeman.org/manuals/1.15/#4.2.3Parameters

You don't actually say *where* you're trying to consume this data
though. I assume you're wanting it in Puppet, which should work out of
the box - anything in the ENC is passed to Puppet and should be used
directly. If you want to access it in templates, you can use "<%=
host_enc %>" (via http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/
TemplateWriting#Functions-and-macros), and from some other place, there
is an API call to get the host's ENC data (GET /api/hosts/:id/enc)

If want to access data for other hosts / hostgroups in Puppet
manifests, there are ways - but for brevity I'll not go into to that
yet. If that's what you're actually looking for, shout out :)
