Whoa dude... that's like a little crash course on ruby... not that I'm
complaining... :-))

You're right, that first "$" with the variable wasn't meant to be
there... and I was wondering the same thing regarding the usage of the
memorysize variable from facter.  Thanks a lot Bellman, I now have a
good starting point...

Cheers,

When I try that exact code in an ERB template, I get an error:

Failed to parse template /tmp/trh/smurf.erb: undefined method
`to_i=' for "1.93 GB":String at /tmp/trh/craftytech.pp:5 on
node kumiko.nsc.liu.se

There are actually several errors in your code.  First of all, you
have a dollar sign in front of the first 'memorysize'.  The dollar
signs are only valid syntax in Puppet manifests, not in ERB templates
(or other Ruby code, for that matter).

Second, in Ruby, it's not 'elseif', but 'elsif'.

Third, you are trying to assign to memorysize.to_i, by using the
= operator.  Maybe you were thinking about using the equality
comparison operator (==)?

But even using the == operator would be wrong.  To check if a value
lies inside a range, you must use the .include? method, like this:

(8.1 .. 16).include?(memorysize.to_i)

So, if I change the template to this:

max_allowed_packet=<%
if memorysize.to_i <= 4 %>8M<%
elsif (4.1 .. 8).include?(memorysize.to_i) %>16M<%
elsif (8.1 .. 16).include?(memorysize.to_i) %>32M<%
elsif memorysize.to_i > 16 %>64M<%
end %>

then it works.  But since you are using .to_i, you might not get
quite what you expect slightly above each limit; if memorysize is
for example 4.99 GB, then memorysize.to_i will be 4, and you will
get "max_allowd_packet=8M" as result.  Your use of 4.1 and 8.1
implies to me that you wanted to get "max_allowed_packet=16M" in
that case.  Replacing .to_i with .to_f would fix that.

Also, since we are writing it as a chain of if-elsif-elsif statements,
this would be better, IMHO:

max_allowed_packet=<%
if memorysize.to_f <= 4 %>8M<%
elsif memorysize.to_f <= 8 %>16M<%
elsif memorysize.to_f <= 16 %>32M<%
else %>64M<%
end %>

However, the memorysize fact is unfortunately in a not very nice format.
It is a floating point number followed by a unit ("MB" or "GB" in most
common cases today, but can also be "kB" or "TB", or nothing at all to
signify bytes).  Presumably you expect the memorysize to be expressed in
Gbytes, but if you run it on a machine with less than 1 Gbyte memory or
more that 1024 Gbyte memory, you will not get what you expect.

The correct way to handle this is to parse the unit and take that
into account.  Here is how I would do this:

<% mem,unit = memorysize.split
   mem = mem.to_f
   # Normalize mem to Mebibyte
   case unit
   when nil:  mem /= (1<<20)
   when 'kB': mem /= (1<<10)
   when 'MB': mem *= (1<<0)
   when 'GB': mem *= (1<<10)
   when 'TB': mem *= (1<<20)
end
-%>
max_allowed_packet=<%
if mem <= 4096 %>8M<%
elsif mem <= 8192 %>16M<%
elsif mem <= 16384 %>32M<%
else %>64M<%
end %>

[Puppet Users] Re: erb templating support for case statements?

[CraftyTech]

It works now... The syntax was right all along.  I was testing it on a
VM which has less than a gig of mem, hence why it'd omit the logic,
since it didn't apply.  Sometimes the hurtles are a lot closer than
you expect them to be :-)

It seemed to me that adding report=true to [puppetd] using augeas didn't cause 
puppetd to start sending reports each run.  I'll check to see that's actually 
true later today.

My actual usage gets a bit more complicated, but as Nigel suggested, I
generally have a single repository of code and each environment
represents a different point in time "snapshot" of that codebase.  All
my changes are checked in to 'development'.  When I'm happy that the
dev codebase is fairly stable, I'll then copy/tag that codebase, which
can be checked out to the 'testing' environment.  If that codebase
performs as expected, then it gets checked out to production.  Im
currently using SVN, so this fairly trivial to do - just create a
'cheap copy' of the current repo and tag it with an appropriate name
(based on release version / date for me)

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
Bryan

I don’t know what you’re using to store external nodes, but if you’re using

Puppetd does reload its configuration automatically when the config file

[Puppet Users] Re: Problem with dashboard using live report aggregation

[christian]

It seems to be working, Chad.
After I figured out, that you have to use one of the cities listed
with rake time:zones:local, now my time is shown correct, too.

But symlinking puppet_dashboard.rb to $libdir/reports doesn't really
work for me and still gives "warning: no report puppet-dashboard".
So I will stick to symlinking it to /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/
puppet/reports. At least until your integration is complete.

[Puppet Users] Re: Refreshing puppetd from within puppetd

[christian]

Well depending on complexity of your manifests, you could define a
service for puppet and require certain classes to be executed before
the puppet service is checked in order to avoid that problem.
At least for me it works, but I have to admit that this solution isn't
very pretty.

Example:
service { puppet:
   require => [ class["class1"], class["class2"] ]
}
