 Is there a way to do that with a script without having to enter RHN userid

[Puppet Users] Re: how to do conditional check?

[Sans]

Thanks Matthew!
I think that way it's better and simpler. But that makes me asking:
How to check if Torque (or any package in question) is installed or
not?
Another question: How write the template file to multiply the no. of
CPU-core by 1.2 (or whatever)?
cheers!!

 Sounds like what you want to do is to create a fact to find out that status
 of whether torque is installed or not.

 As for the configuration file, without better understanding the contents of
 the file, I would in conjunction with the fact do a file resource surrounded
 by an if statement that utilizes the fact. If its something that is pretty
 much the same across the board except for some values, like host names or
 what not, then you could use templates to create the file and keep it that
 way.

 so for example

 if $torque_installed == true {
      file { '/var/torque/mom_priv/config':
          ensure = present,
          content = template(...)
       }

[Puppet Users] writing custom facts

[Sans]

Dear all,

I see that writing a custom-fact with single line of command is not
that tough, like this:


Facter.add(num_core) do
setcode do
%x{/bin/grep siblings /proc/cpuinfo | uniq | cut -d  -f
2}.chomp
end
end


But that's not enough for me. What I actually need to do is something
like this:

dd_code=`which dmidecode`
n1=`${dd_code} -t processor | grep -c Socket Designation`
n2=`${dd_code} -t processor | grep Core Count | uniq | cut -d  -
f3`
n=$(($n1*$n2))


How can I put this in the fact? Cheers!!

One option is to save dd_code lines as a separate script, have puppet ensure 
its presence on each machine with a file statement, and then call it by 
explicit path in the Facter.add block.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: writing custom facts

[Ken Barber]

Not pretty - but hacking up your example to work in ruby should be
something like:

Facter.add(num_core) do
  setcode do
dd_code=`which dmidecode`.chomp
n1=`#{dd_code} -t processor | grep -c Socket Designation`.chomp.to_i
n2=`#{dd_code} -t processor | grep Core Count | uniq | awk
'{print $3}'`.chomp.to_i
n1*n2
  end
end

The key things here are the chomps to remove newlines, the #{} format
for variable interpolation in strings and the to_i to get integers.
Also not the n1*n2 at the end - this will return the result (no need
for return unless you want it).

I can't: torque is a vital part of the middleware, which needs to be
installed and configured at the time of middleware installation. And n
the other hand, I use Puppet to prepare the environment for the
middleware to be installed (by yaim). After that installation (and
initial configuration), I wanna make sure that config file is always
there with correct values.

 2) Does is matter if you create the file if the package isn't installed?
As I explained above, if the I create the [especially] the directory-
path, yaim will skip a things, thinking it's an upgrade or re-install,
even though installing for first time.

Hope, I've made it a bit clearer now. Cheers!!

[Puppet Users] Managing local + LDAP users and groups

[bradejr]

Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group
administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken)
software insists on  local users and groups. I'm guessing it's
checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.

Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the
LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create
the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are
currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands
(luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes
for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle
this in puppet?

Thanks,
Rob

[Puppet Users] configuration history

[puppeter]

Hi people,
I have a quite interesting problem here. We are using Puppet for
deploying configuration files (among others) and GIT for keeping
version history of templates. But now we got a request  to keep also
history of files that are already interpreted and deployed. Does
somebody have an idea how to collect such files?

In fact, we are asked to keep history of configurations across all our
Linux systems with a possibility to roll back to some previous state.
Taking a copy from backup does not make the trick. We are in state of
defining requirements so I'm looking for some prepared solution.

Thanks in advance!

Regards

[Puppet Users] array in template

[romuald FREBAULT]

Hi,

I have a recipe that deploy a nrpe_local.cfg.
In my template, i want to deploy diffrent lines between 32 and 64 bits.

We have hosts uder redhat and debian,.
When i write % if architecture == i386 -%
no problem, the lines are well deployed on redhat and debian, but for the 64
bits, redhat call the architecture x86_64 and debian amd64...
i tried to make an array like this
% if architecture == x86_64, amd64 -%
or like this
% if architecture == x86_64, amd64 -%
or
% if architecture == x86_64 | amd64 -%

and many other tries, but i couldn't get it to work...

does anyone knows how i could solve my problem?

[Puppet Users] Adding LDAP users to system group

[Gareth Allen]

Hi all,

All our users are stored in LDAP, but I need to add users to a system
group for sudo rules.  Is there a way to do this without having Puppet
manage the user? For example:
getent passwd gareth.allen
gareth.allen:XX:1100:1100:Gareth Allen:/home/gareth.allen:/bin/bash

/etc/group contents:
mysql:x:27:

Now, I need Puppet to do the following:
mysql:x:27:gareth.allen

The only way I can think of doing this is by having Puppet manage
/etc/groups, but I'm a bit nervous of going that route. Does anyone
have any ideas?

Thanks,
Gareth

Re: [Puppet Users] RHEL 6 Optional channel

[Aaron Grewell]

Unless you're using RHN's system management features (and thus paying extra
for the Management Entitlements) you won't be able to do this though.  And
since you're using Puppet that seems unlikely.  I'd use either mrepo or
yum-downloadonly to mirror your RHN repos to local yum repos so you can
manage them more effectively.

 Is there a way to do that with a script without having to enter RHN userid
 and password?   Is there a way to add a channel during kickstart?

 Thanks

RE: [Puppet Users] Managing local + LDAP users and groups

[Kinzel, David]

Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group
administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken)
software insists on  local users and groups. I'm guessing it's
checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.

Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the
LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create
the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are
currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands
(luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes
for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle
this in puppet?

I'm with you on that. My current path is using luseradd to bootstrap the
user, and then let puppet manage it from there (usermod on local+ldap
seems to work fine). Same goes for groups. Solaris is even worse for
this as there isn't (afaik) a 'luseradd' equivalent, so the bootstrap
process would be modifying the files directly and then letting puppet
manage the user from there.


Thanks,
Rob

[Puppet Users] Setting defaults on scoped definitions : Each Word Needs To Be Capitalized

[Matthias Saou]

Hi,

The documentation section gives a good example for the exec type :
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resource-defaults

But for scoped definitions, I had to figure out that each word needs to
be capitalized, not just the first word :

Mymod::mydef { 'foo': } gives Syntax error at '::mydef'

What works is this (note the second capital 'M') :

Mymod::Mydef { 'foo': }

Could the documentation section about capitalization be updated to
include a scoped example and make it clear for everyone?
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#capitalization

I'm sure others will bump into this too, or already have :-)

 My puppet master has manifests/nodes.pp which lists the client fqdn (matches

Re: [Puppet Users] configuration history

 Hi people,
 I have a quite interesting problem here. We are using Puppet for
 deploying configuration files (among others) and GIT for keeping
 version history of templates. But now we got a request  to keep also
 history of files that are already interpreted and deployed. Does
 somebody have an idea how to collect such files?


the filebucket can be used to centrally store any files that puppet changes.


 In fact, we are asked to keep history of configurations across all our
 Linux systems with a possibility to roll back to some previous state.


In general, I consider rollback to be a dirty word. Its something that looks
great as a bullet point, but quickly falls apart when you start to think
about all of the technical implementations. For example, how do you roll
back a service restart, how do you revert the state of you application data?



 Taking a copy from backup does not make the trick. We are in state of
 defining requirements so I'm looking for some prepared solution.


The best solutions is probably to write a catalog terminus that stores
historical versions of your catalog. The only trick to it is that you would
have to write some code that can do diffs between catalogs (so that you only
store catalogs that are different from the last version). Although you could
store this history, it is unlikely that you would be able to rollback any
machines from these catalogs. It would be more reasonable to build new
machines and get them into the running state by applying the old catalogs.


 Thanks in advance!

[Puppet Users] notify defined in exported resource won't work?

[mizuki]

Hi all,

I noticed a service notify defined inside of exported resource won't work.

For example, I have the following exported resource defined:

define host($ip = $fqdn, $short_alias = $fqdn) {
@@file {
$nagios_cfgdir/${name}_host.cfg:
ensure = present, content = template( 
nagios/host.erb ),
mode = 644, owner = root, group = root,
notify = Service [nagios],
tag = 'nagios'
}
}

This creates the file fine, but the service won't get restarted.
Notify service outside of exported resource works of course.
So I'm wondering if it's designed by nature or it's just a bug.

Anyone had experinces on that? Can someone advice?

Thanks!

[Puppet Users] Re: cannot manage home directories

[vella1tj]

We just need the account to have root access and be created
successfully, I looked at the permissions of the assorted folders
everything to the best of my knowledge had root access. I'll
definitely look into it though thanks for the heads up.

  Well I haven't got on top of debugging the createhomdir but I just

  Users/username/,
   path                =/bin/,

  The path command was key and one of my managers was just screwing with
  it and got it to work. The manifests are different a little bit
  because i went in and changed the User Template to templateuser
  because i thought puppet was having a hard time on the files with
  spaces. Just thought you would want to know. Again thank you so much
  you are awesome Nigel, if there is anything I could do for you just
  let me know:)

 Thank you for the kind words, but making more Mac Puppet users is enough :)

 I'd be a bit careful of the above command though. You may not end up with
 the permissions your users expect, particularly on the Public and
 Public/DropBox folders.

   That's basically one of the underlying things createhomedir does, but
  you're
   not going to actually be setting up directories with the correct
   permissions/ACLs, which could be a problem.

   Especially in later versions of OS X, createhomedir problems have often
  been
   a symptom of another directory service related issue in my experience, so
   I'd definitely do some debugging first.

  I'm going to try doing a mdir to create the home folder. Let me
  know
  what you think about that, here is what I have right now.

  user {'user':
   uid        = 501,
   gid        = 'staff',
   #comment    = some random comment,
   ensure     = present,
   home       = '/Users/user',

   password   = 'Hash,
  }

  exec {/usr/sbin/createhomedir -c -l -u user:
   subscribe     = User[user],
   refreshonly  = true,
  }

  The weird thing is even manually using the createdir command is not
  working. I thought maybe their was something wrong with the OS
  installation because its on a macbook air so I tried it on my
  actual
  Imac work computer. I deleted the local admin account then ran the
  command it created the user but not the home folder still. I forget
  to
  set myself as admin so I had to have my manager su user then create
  the folder and he was able to. So it's def the script that I wrote
  that is not working. Thanks for your time again Nigel I do
  appreciate
  it.

 Sometimes createhomedir is just buggy. :(

 If you do man DirectoryService you'll see the instructions for
  sending
 USR1 signals to the DS process for debugging and there might be
  something
 that leaps out when you interactively run createhomedir for the user.

RE: [Puppet Users] Re: how to do conditional check?

[Matthew Black]

I haven’t used torque or yaim but what you want to do in a fact is something
like this to determine installation.

if File.exists?('/path/to/config')

end

I don’t usually install anything on a system without doing it in puppet, so
I don’t typically write facts to find out if something is installed or not.

 1) Why not use puppet to decide if Torque should be installed in the first

I can't: torque is a vital part of the middleware, which needs to be
installed and configured at the time of middleware installation. And n
the other hand, I use Puppet to prepare the environment for the
middleware to be installed (by yaim). After that installation (and
initial configuration), I wanna make sure that config file is always
there with correct values.

 2) Does is matter if you create the file if the package isn't installed?
As I explained above, if the I create the [especially] the directory-
path, yaim will skip a things, thinking it's an upgrade or re-install,
even though installing for first time.

Hope, I've made it a bit clearer now. Cheers!!

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet clients

I will also mention that there are now a few books on Puppet. I'm currently
reading through Pro Puppet by James Turnbull (who wrote the original Pulling
Strings with Puppet book), and it's quite good. The original book was a bit
light on some details, Pro Puppet really dives in and shows how all the
pieces fit together.

Re: [Puppet Users] Managing local + LDAP users and groups

 Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group
 administration. Unfortunately, we have some cases where (broken)
 software insists on  local users and groups. I'm guessing it's
 checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.
 
 Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the
 LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create
 the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are
 currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands
 (luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes
 for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle
 this in puppet?
 
 Thanks,
 Rob
 

Seems like it would be reasonable to make an luseradd provider for the
user type along the same lines as the existing useradd one.

Thanks for already opening a ticket for this!

If you're using Ruby EE, I would simply check out the git repository with
the appropriate release tag you want and install it that way, as you'll be
satisfying dependencies manually outside your package manager anyway.

[Puppet Users] functions and environments

[Gabriel Filion]

Hello,

I'm trying to test out new features of a module before I deploy it and I
have difficulty with the functions declared by the module.

I'm using an enviroment called development where I dropped the new
module and would like to test on a node with the following:

puppetd --environment=development -t --noop

I can see that the file containing the function gets created but puppet
complains that it doesn't know the function in question:

[Puppet Users] Question about custom function.

[Dominik Zyla]

Hello group,

I'm trying to generate configuration for tomcat server. I want it to
depend on my mod_jk properties file. I wrote some simple script which
you can see here: http://pastebin.com/CffBr0Nc it works just fine.

So I tried to move it to puppet as my custom function. It's available
for review here: http://pastebin.com/AeQgTTT6

Now, when I'm running first in irb, I see that script loads
properties file and instance() function returns node_#{l} which is
`node_SOME_LETTER' and that's exactly what I want it to do.

But as long as I'm running irb against puppet file, I see there's no
data loaded into `filename' hash. When I run `puppetd -tv' on client,
I've got timeout (after 120 seconds which is default), but puppet master
is still running (spawned by passanger) until it got killed by
oom-killer.

Please, give me some hints what am I doing wrong.

Regards,
--

Puppet functions examples:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Writing_Your_Own_Functions

You should be doing something along the lines of:
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:instance, :type= :rvalue) do |args|
letters = args[0]
hosts = args[1]
ports = args[2]
  ...
  end
end

HTH,

Re: [Puppet Users] Managing local + LDAP users and groups

[Denmat]

Just FYI, I use a fact that checks authconfig --test for ldap enabled. Then I 
exclude my user base create run in puppet based on the existence if this fact. 

For services and apps I include their user account creation in the module 
managing the service. Therefore they are no effected by the ldap fact.

 Our environment (mostly RHEL) uses LDAP for user and group

 software insists on  local users and groups. I'm guessing it's
 checking the files directly instead of using the proper system calls.
 
 Our current process is to create the local user/group matching the
 LDAP entries. How are people handling this case? Puppet won't create
 the user locally, as it sees the user as already existing. We are
 currently using exec to call the local versions of the commands
 (luseradd, lusermod, etc), but that's something of a hack and makes
 for more complex classes. Does anyone have a graceful way to handle
 this in puppet?
 
 Thanks,
 Rob
 
 
 Seems like it would be reasonable to make an luseradd provider for the
 user type along the same lines as the existing useradd one.
 
 Thanks for already opening a ticket for this!

While this might be better suited for the Satellite list, you can make keys
that require certain channels automatically and use them in kickstarts.
There's also an API for RHN/Satellte that would allow you to add the
channel, but you might have to use your RHN userid/pw, I don't remember.  I
haven't used Satellite in just over a year now.

Re: [Puppet Users] RHEL 6 Optional channel

Thanks, we are paying for satellite but not the more useful newer

My registration key worked, but systems were just attached to the base

needed.

 Unless you're using RHN's system management features (and thus paying extra
 for the Management Entitlements) you won't be able to do this though.  And
 since you're using Puppet that seems unlikely.  I'd use either mrepo or

   for review here: http://pastebin.com/AeQgTTT6
  
   Now, when I'm running first in irb, I see that script loads
   properties file and instance() function returns node_#{l} which is
   `node_SOME_LETTER' and that's exactly what I want it to do.
  
   But as long as I'm running irb against puppet file, I see there's no
   data loaded into `filename' hash. When I run `puppetd -tv' on client,
   I've got timeout (after 120 seconds which is default), but puppet master
   is still running (spawned by passanger) until it got killed by
   oom-killer.
  
   Please, give me some hints what am I doing wrong.
 
  Puppet functions examples:
  http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Writing_Your_Own_Functions
 
  I read this so far.
 
  You should be doing something along the lines of:
  module Puppet::Parser::Functions
    newfunction(:instance, :type= :rvalue) do |args|
      letters = args[0]
      hosts = args[1]
      ports = args[2]
    ...
    end
  end
 
  The problem is that I don't know values of hosts and ports and what I'm
  trying to do is to determine this values depending on properties file
  (it's similar to Java properties file).
 
 Sorry, I thought it needed to pass the value for the function, if it's
 expected to return the value I took a closer look and used a sample
 tomcat worker.properties file, is this what you intend?
 http://pastebin.com/kcwm7ZnV
 
 Thanks,

It works now. Thanks a lot, Nan. Now I understand much more about
writing custom functions and tomorrow I'll test it out. Once again
thanks.

 If you're using Ruby EE, I would simply check out the git repository with the 
 appropriate release tag you want and install it that way, as you'll be 
 satisfying dependencies manually outside your package manager anyway.

I seem to be pretty close to having it working by pulling down w/ git

What I can't figure out is if puppet is in MySQL in a database called puppet 
and the dashboard created the database called dashboard, the dashboard is empty 
and doesn't have a clue about what's installed/available.

Perhaps this is just because the 'agent' must report and to that end, I have 
configured the system running puppetmaster ...

# cat /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
[main]
# Basic config:
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/etc/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=false
templatedir=$confdir/templates

#Puppetmaster-config:
[master]
storeconfigs = true
# MySQL-configuration:
dbadapter = mysql
dbuser = puppet
dbpassword = XX
dbserver = localhost
dbsocket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
# SSL-config:
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
# Reports to puppet-dashboard for each run:
reports = http, store
reporturl = http://puppet.ttinet:8000/reports/upload

[agent]
report = true

but even when I update my 'client' system, dashboard is still empty. I think I 
am missing something really basic.

Is the Dashboard not capable of reading files from /etc/puppet/ tree?  Does it 
only get data from 'agent' reports? Did I miss something in my setup to get the 
'agents' to report to Dashboard?

Re: [Puppet Users] NGINX Puppet Module: Looking for Feedback/Use Cases

 My ask is this: I'm really interested in the various use cases of nginx that

If I was going to use a module like this I'd probably need a fallback

complex (which happens to be most :-) ).

Here's a reverse caching proxy vhost of mine in front of SugarCRM

(I guess I have yet to subscribe to the goal that As Puppet matures,
it expected that the file resource will be used less and less to
manage content, and instead native resources will be used to do
so.---I use file all over the place without it having becoming
cumbersome, and in fact find this easier than abstracting configs
behind native types.  My 2c!)

[Puppet Users] dashboard ENC and parameterized classes

[Ashley Gould]

Looking at the release notes for dashboard 1.1.1, I see that param
classes are not yet supported within dashboard's external node
classifier feature.  A few months ago I saw a post suggesting the
following work around until there is support:

class foo ($var=default) {
   notify { $var: }
}

Parametrized classes are new in Puppet 2.6. Support for parametrized
classes via ENC was introduced in 2.6.5. Support for parametrized
classes in dashboard is on the road map.

Currently here's the way to declare parametrized classes in site.pp:

node node01 {
  class { foo:
var = hello world!,
  }
}

To support parametrized class in dashboard, I write a wrapper class
(necessary until Dashboard fully supports parametrized classes):
class foo::wrapper {
  class { foo:
 var =  $::foo_var,
  }
}

In this case assign class foo::wrapper to node1 in dashboard and
configure the parameter foo_var=hello world!.

---


I am tring to replicate this workaround without success.  Has anyone 
else gotten param classes working within dashboard ENC?

[Puppet Users] Puppet Class execution order

[Larry Ludwig]

For the life of me I'm not sure why this isn't working properly but Puppet 
appears to execute classes in the order it feels like, not how I'm 
specifying it within the language.

I've tried the newer sytax

Class['one'] - Class['two']

Yet, I see Class two get executed first.

I've also tried doing it by defining the class itself.

class { 'one': require = Class['two'] }

I've even gone down to the specific function within the class to see if this 
helps ie:

class {'one': require = Exec['withinclasstwo'] }

And the same issue.. what gives?

I haven't looked at the resource graph yet but the amount of modules we use 
it's almost readable.

How can I force one class to get executed first before the other? Why in my 
case is it not working?

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet Class execution order

Sorry the typo:

My examples should read:

class { 'two': require = Class['one'] }

class {'two: require = Exec['withinclassone'] }
