[Puppet Users] trouble with puppetrun on 0.24.8

2009-10-19 Thread kyawai 

Hello,

Puppet 0.24.8 on both the client and server, CentOS5.3.

It is applied repeatedly when puppetrun is executed,
and a lot of report mails are transmitted.
There is host repeatedly applied,
and is host applied only once.
Every time, it is different.

Is the setting somewhere wrong?

-
# puppetrun -p 10 --tag cron_www_g1 --host devel03.devel.local --host
devel04.devel.local --host devel05.devel.local --host
devel06.devel.local

This is because zones in OpenSolaris work differently than in Solaris
10.

Now a zone gets its own Boot Environment (be), which is a zfs root
file system that doesn't get mounted until the zone is in the ready
state.

I'll file a bug for this...

Following up the previous two messages.  Thanks to everyone who helped
me.  Here's the resolution (I've removed convos that aren't relevant
to this discussion)

15:46 < herlo> okay, so I know I just posted this on the puppet
mailing list, but I was thinking a bit more about it and had a
question.
15:47 < herlo> http://snipurl.com/slqcz
15:47 < herlo> my question is about how plugins return values to puppet.
15:48 < herlo> because it seems that while my function returns values,
somehow puppet is not getting the values back.
15:48 < herlo> Thoughts?
15:49 < Volcane> herlo: do you have :type => :rvalue ?
15:50 < jrojas_> Volcane: yes
15:50 < jrojas_> newfunction(:get_ad_uids, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
15:50 < jrojas_> sorry i was looking at it when you asked :P
15:50 < Volcane> :)
15:50 < herlo> Volcane: right at the top of that function, or should be
15:51 < herlo> Volcane: it's in the snipurl
15:51 < herlo> I agree it *should* return, but it is not returnning anything
16:02 < herlo> jrojas_: Volcane: any other thoughts?
16:03 < Volcane> herlo: if you rip out all the code and just return an
array of known values, does it work?
16:03 < herlo> dunno.  I do know that from the other direction if I
put $uids = ["user1", "u

I generate my configuration files programmatically once a day based on

There was discussion of a design option that would have a few of hundred
entries in the modulepath day one and grow from there (creating new ones
if needed when the configuration files are generated)..
I don't want to start down a path that could limit me down the road and
require starting over and since I could not find a limit in the puppet
documentation so I thought I would ask.

Thanks for the input to everyone on this thread. Sounds like the
suggestion I posed of a large modulepath is not a good one (nor is it
scalable which was my first instinct). I am going with a design which
does have a unique module path for each department (around 40) and one
which is shared by all. This will allow me leverage existing
nomenclature within puppet (for customization) that is in alignment
with existing server administration and change processes.


Thank you

[Puppet Users] Parser error which appears to be a bug in puppet

2009-10-19 Thread Clint Savage 

Below I have a parser function that I have created which was working,
but now is not working.  I have made quite a few changes to this code,
but can't seem to find the right combination to make it work again.

After extensive conversations with Volcane, joe-mac and andrewcshafer
from #puppet, it was suggested that I put this on the list.  I don't
know what exactly is going on, but I can say that I think this is a
bug now.  However, I can't prove it beyond what I have here without
help.

I'd like to put this out to the puppeteers here and see if I can get
some more help identifying why I get the error at the end of the
information below.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Cheers,

Clint

Ok i create a small facter to test if the file is present

in /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/
i use debian lenny
i create a ztestapache.rb file from selinux one

puppetmaster:/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter# cat ztestapache.rb
# Fact for SElinux
# Written by immerda admin team (admin(at)immerda.ch)

Facter.add("ztestapache") do
setcode do
result = "false"
if FileTest.exists?("/etc/puppet/install/apache")
result = "true"
end
result
end
end


so i the file /etc/puppet/install/apache is present i can ask puppet to
install apache2

I have to create the puppet class on my puppetmaster.

I will tell you as soon as possible.

[wf:]

It is easy for me to deploy config on clients computer.
Exemple. I install 20 server on differents place and i allow peaple to add,
start programme like samba

The person want to add apache. He just have to connect the web interface and
ask for samba. the web interface create an empty file
/etc/puppet/install/samba and puppet do the job to install a working samba
from the puppet master. SO I do not have to manage my puppetmaster fqdn to
add samba and every one is happy.

I should mention that line 34 is the print command above.  However, if

[Puppet Users] Passenger Woes

2009-10-19 Thread Stephen Nelson-Smith 

Hello,

I really didn't expect this to be difficult, but I've been struggling
with this all day :(

I'm running CentOS 5.3, with rubygems, rack and fastthread, from EPEL.

I'm running puppet-0.25.0-1 built from the spec file in the latest
stable tarball.

I'm using mod_passenger-2.2.5-2.el5 from Jeroen van Meeuwen (kanarip),
which is effectively EPEL too.

I'm using the config.ru file from
http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/ext/rack/files/config.ru,
chowned to puppet and chmoded 644.

I've added:

[puppetmasterd]
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

to my puppet.conf as directed in the README.

I've set up an apache vhost as follows:

PassengerHighPerformance on
PassengerMaxPoolSize 12
PassengerPoolIdleTime 1500
# PassengerMaxRequests 1000
PassengerStatThrottleRate 120

[Puppet Users] Re: How to handle failures of resources

2009-10-19 Thread LdvT 

I wouldn't mind having failure detection.

Say somehow a bad copy of a .conf file is distributed; and the service
fails to start.
If that can be detected and used as a condition, puppet could than
call up another manifest to drop in a default/backup copy of the .conf
file and restart the service almost immediately.
Toss in a notify function on that manifest, and it would be a very
handy feature for making changes on diverse production systems.

Indeed, I got the path wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

And just for the record (and other readers):
You have a typo in the path in your answer. It is not .../types/
but .../type/.

Custom types in modules generally work in 0.24.8, so I doubt that
issue 2574 is related to your problem.  Supposing that your custom
type is well-formed (which successful compilation does not guarantee),
the most likely causes of your problem are that it is not correctly
positioned inside your module, or it is not readable by
puppetmasterd.  The custom type's Ruby code should be in /
/plugins/puppet/types/.rb.  Its provider(s), if
any, should be in //plugins/puppet/provider/
/.rb.  The files and all the directories in the path
to them should be readable by the puppetmaster process, which may
(should) be running as a non-root user.

Be sure also to read http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules
for required client-side configuration for plug-ins.

[Puppet Users] access exported resources in template

2009-10-19 Thread Bernhard Bock 

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a class that autogenerates a config file based
on an .erb template.
It shall populate the config file with data exported from various hosts.

Some pseudocode to clarify my issue:

node n1 {
   @@mytype {
  "name":
  property => "foo"
   }
}

template.erb:
<% mytype.each do |bar| %>
<%= bar.name %>
<%= bar.property %>
<% end %>

My question is: How can I access and iterate through the exported
resources in the template? mytype.each will not work...

best regards
Bernhard

This  question  is  connected  with  my  previous  one,  the one about
determining  if  there  is  enough  place in the destination to copy a
file.  Because  if there isn't - the "file" resource fails and I could
catch  that  condition  and  do  some  action  -  rollback  whole move
operation,  which  means delete the ".puppettmp" file, move back those
files, which had been already moved, and perhaps send an email.

Now  I  understand, that whole that process would better be handled by
custom  scripts, so maybe indeed there is no need for such feature. At
least not when transaction support is ready.

Is  this true also for local copies (i.e. copies which doesn't involve
file server, and where source and destination are on the same system)?

Yeah but those people want the CPU used for some things that is based on non
reliable protocols (eg multicast) and doesn't want to loose on packet...

In fact, we are providing (lots !) of servers, and the users uses them...

We don't use package manager except the rpm on RHEL 4 or 5...

Mostly simple things :
- check snmpd.conf
- check resolv.conf
- check hosts
- check stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are good
- check munin.conf
- check the tnsnames files
- check the syslogd.conf

I really thinks they are brain damaged especialy with the machines that
has 8 cores...

Pattern collections are much better, I'd rather have articles exploring 
features that people can learn each feature and then apply to their environment 
than a best practice since those are almost always full of assumptions about 
local conditions, patterns are flexible and can be molded to your needs..

Remember something: you paid for that CPU, that means you want to use it
as much as you can otherwise you paid for something you don't use.
With that in mind, the optimal load on a server should be 100% CPU
used :-)

If those servers are not used or have room for 20% of CPU used by
puppet, then it shouldn't matter, the kernel scheduler will do what it
needs to allocate CPU to every running programs.

If those servers are already 100% loaded, then that's an issue, and you
might:
 * let puppet run less frequently or do CPU bound things less frequently
 * isolate what consumes CPU when doing a run (do you have unbounded
execs?)
 * does your package manager consumes CPU?

In my own experience, puppetd itself is usually more I/O bound (ie
network and disk) than cpu bound, but since it depends entirely on what
you have in your manifest, YMMV.

puppet is usually not using too much of cpu.. (unless your users are running
on the puppetmaster ;))

maybe you can restrict the amount of things puppet do in each run with the
schedule metadata.

cpu or memory?

you can run puppet with nice, but if it will restart services, they will be
niced too.
if its memory, you can swtich to cron.

No objections here.  I seem to recall that there had a been a
discussion at PuppetCamp about perhaps moving to a pattens collection
instead of set of best practices - not sure if anyone has bandwidth to
to work on this but it might help to keep it in mind.

Dan North wrote an article on this.[1]

Ironically I have loads of best practices articles on my blog. D'oh.
