That is one way to declare sequence. There are others.

[Puppet Users] Custom manifest
Hi, Can I execute a command basis on some criteria in puppet.

In a nodes inheritance layout BEFORE you set the variables and THEN you include classes (in my case role classes). This is precisely why Puppet's inheritance model is painful. To be safe, you have to include all classes at the specific node. You can hide some of this in role-based classes, but only so much. It causes duplication, noise in the config and is an unnecessary potential source of error. Yes, if you use an ENC, you can avoid some of this by, for example, having a script that queries a database in which the duplication has been removed by normalisation, or by using a language with a sane inheritance model to describe your nodes. That, though, is only hiding the problem and still means much more noise than is necessary in the communication between the ECN and Puppet (which is still a potential source of error, as the same datum transmitted many times is more likely to be corrupted/distorted in one of those instances). -- Bruce I unfortunately do not know how to turn cheese into gold. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

[Puppet Users] parameterized class precedences
Hello,
I want to access variable of a parameterized class but it fails with
class has not been evaluated.
Tried to evaluate it first adding stages and requires, but still same.
I'll explain better with an example:
stage { pre: before = Stage[main] }
class directory($path) {
file { $path:
ensure = directory,
}
}
class directory::subdirectory {
file {
$directory::path/other:
ensure = directory,
require = [File[$directory::path],Class[directory]];
}
}
# if I include directory::subdirectory at the end, it works
# but classes come from an ENC, can't order since it's a hash
include directory::subdirectory
class { directory:
path = /tmp/test,
stage = pre
}
Applying this manifest produces:
warning: Scope(Class[Directory::Subdirectory]): Could not look up
qualified variable 'directory::path'; class directory has not been
evaluated at test.pp:16
warning: Scope(Class[Directory::Subdirectory]): Could not look up
qualified variable 'directory::path'; class directory has not been
evaluated at test.pp:14
Could not find dependency File[] for File[/other] at test.pp:17
any hint?

Re: [Puppet Users] Custom manifest
Scott is right, but if you really wanted to do it the hard way, two choices: One, use an `exec` resource that just runs those commands on the client. Which pretty much sucks, FWIW, but not quite as much if you use the `unless` and `notify` metaparameters for `exec`. Two, you can use something like `generate` on the master to extract the version from SVN, and send that to the client as part of the catalog. That said, the *usual* way to get the benefits of SVN with Puppet is to put your manifests, templates, and files directly into SVN, then make `/etc/puppet` or your module path a checkout from SVN. Use a post-commit hook to update *that*, and Puppet to distribute it. Then you get the benefits of SVN, and of Puppet, and the bonus that you don't need give all your machines access to the VCS repository that contains all your configuration data.

Re: [Puppet Users] Does Node Inheritance work for people?
We probably have the quintessential setup for using node inheritance.
We now have about 1000 nodes in a HPC cluster with CentOS 5.x. About 950
nodes are identical, and the naming scheme is simplistic (vmp). The
remaining nodes are gateways that users log into to launch jobs,
or infrastructure nodes (DNS, NTP, etc.).
We have a site.pp that imports modules, nodes and templates.
Templates defines
node default {
include envvars
include selinux
}
node prodnode {
[include all production node modules]
}
node prodgateway {
[include all production gateway modules]
}
And a sprinkling of other special nodes.
Nodes file defines the nodes like so:
node 'vmps04.vampire' inherits prodgateway {}
node 'vmp001.vampire' inherits prodnode {}
The modules file imports all the modules.
The modules themselves are fairly fine grained to avoid the class this::that
syntax. We started that way, but we have eliminated it.
This works well because of the relatively simple, and massively uniform
environment with which we work.

[Puppet Users] Re: Does Node Inheritance work for people?
To be honest I don't find painful at all to include at node level ONE and only one (role) class. I wonder where you find all this duplication. If your node names are standardized (ie: web01 web02 web03.. ) you can even use wildcards for all the nodes that share the same role. I personally find more quick and handy to add a node via vi that clicking around a web interface. And most of the times when I've to add a node I just insert the node name and the role class that it includes. I've worked with this layout in different environments with various different colleagues, more or less Puppet experts (some never used it before) and nobody has ever made mistakes while managing nodes, and once explained the override logic of variables in the inheritance tree they were autonomous in managing customizations. So somehow, for me, this is a hint, if not a proof, that this layout is not so confusing or problematic. Once again, I don't intend to convince anyone that this is the best or the only possible one, but I'm ready to demonstrate any time that it works and scales well and, once explained is easy to work with.

In a nodes inheritance layout BEFORE you set the variables and THEN you include classes (in my case role classes). This is precisely why Puppet's inheritance model is painful. To be safe, you have to include all classes at the specific node. You can hide some of this in role-based classes, but only so much. It causes duplication, noise in the config and is an unnecessary potential source of error. Yes, if you use an ENC, you can avoid some of this by, for example, having a script that queries a database in which the duplication has been removed by normalisation, or by using a language with a sane inheritance model to describe your nodes. That, though, is only hiding the problem and still means much more noise than is necessary in the communication between the ECN and Puppet (which is still a potential source of error, as the same datum transmitted many times is more likely to be corrupted/distorted in one of those instances). -- Bruce I unfortunately do not know how to turn cheese into gold. signature.asc 1KViewDownload -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Strange Could not find dependency error
Hi Christian
Strangely then I had - in manifest like this
class nagios-client {
include nagios::params, nagios::nrpe, nagios::plugins
}
but was not including nagios-client any where - the puppet master/
agent did not give any errors - or this is since nagios-client was
never compiled on the master and so was not send to the agent as
well ?
Also if you look at my original mail at first I had nagios and not
nagios::server - and had same problem
of Could not find dependency - does it mean that in this case I had
some nasty magic puppet dependency problem - and renaming nagios to
nagios::server solved it - seems to me like some puppet bug, wdyt?
Thanks

[Puppet Users] Re: cleaning puppet dashboard
Hi Arnau, This is not a Puppet Dashboard problem, it's a MySQL feature of InnoDB. You're using per-table InnoDB data files. InnoDB data files grow. They never, ever, ever shrink. So what you've got there is a 22GB sparse file that MySQL will fill up with more resource_statuses rows. It won't use that space for any other table because you've for per-table InnoDB data files configured on. I *think* one solution is to convert the resource_statuses to MyISAM then back to InnoDB again but I've never done it. Another way is to dump the database out, blow away the InnoDB data files and import the dump (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/innodb-data-log-reconfiguration.html).

[Puppet Users] Distributing a PHP file as template fails
Hi all, I'm trying to distribute a PHP file as a template. The problem I'm running into is that each variable in the PHP file is recognized as a Puppet or ERB variable. Take this snippet for instance: # cat include/init.php ?php $dbhost = '%= app_dbhost %'; $dbname = '%= app_dbname %'; $dbuser = '%= app_dbuser %'; $dbpass = '%= app_dbpass %'; ?

[Puppet Users] Creating manifests automatically from an existing configuration?
Hello, I'm new to puppet and I would like to use it to clone the configuration of an existing base machine. Are there any tools that would allow puppet to scan the existing machine's state and generate manifests I can then use to manage this other machine? I know I can make them by hand or use prepared manifests, I'm just hoping there may be a little time saver I'm not aware of.

Nope. Neither does

class { 'mod1::class1': message = 'Hallo Welt'}
nor does
class { 'mod2::class2': require = Class['mod2::class2']}

Class['mod1::class1'] - Class['mod2::class2']
work.
So you basically run into the same issues as when you use the defined
function to check for other classes inside a class: It all depends on
the parsing order. At least I get a warning if the order in my manifest
is wrong:
warning: Scope(Class[Mod2::Class2]): Could not look up qualified
variable 'mod1::class1::message'; class mod1::class1 has not been
evaluated at /tmp/modules/mod2/manifests/class2.pp:2
but unfortunately puppet does not fail hard here but just applies a
catalog with some empty variables which in my opinion is just wrong.

and looks like this
hostclass :ssa_nagios_checks do
...
end
In nagios/manifests/init.pp I have

You actually want something more like:
nagios/manifests/server.pp:
class nagios::server {
include nagios::ssa_nagios_checks
}
nagios/manifests/ssa_nagios_checks.rb:
hostclass :'nagios::ssa_nagios_checks' do
notice([should work])
end
This should work. Can you test it?
Remember that sub-classes belong in their own file ... and only the
class with the same name as the module belongs in init.pp. Also - you
have to fully qualify class names when declaring them in their rb/pp
file.

[Puppet Users] Parse Puppet Manifests
I am looking for a method to parse the entire set of puppet manifests/ modules. For example I want to see a list of all packages that I am managing with puppet. I have seen the compile option, but this only gives me a particular node's point of view. While I could just scrape all of the manifest files for this information with grep, etc., there must be something in the puppet code base I could plug into?? -Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Re: need urgent help with including Ruby DSL class from puppet manifests
Hi Ken,
Thank you so much for your reply
I did like you said BUT i was still getting the error
err: Must pass a parameter or all necessary values at /etc/puppet/
modules/nagios/manifests/server.pp:19 on node mon1a.internal
Then I started to insert notice statement in the ruby DSL class - it
turns out I a logical erro in the code.
Arghhh - I have been so fooled by the totally misguiding error
message.
Shouldn't puppet err indicate that there is problem in /etc/puppet/
modules/nagios/manifests/ssa_nagios_checks.rb and not in /etc/puppet/
modules/nagios/manifests/server.pp?
Anyway now that the ruby error is fixed I get new error
err: undefined method `Puppet' for #Puppet::DSL::ResourceAPI:
0xb73f50e0 at /etc/puppet/modules/nagios/manifests/server.pp:15 on
node mon1a.internal
What does this error means?
Here is the real ruby dsl class code - in case it's again a problem
with the class :)
require 'json'
require 'open-uri'
hostclass :'nagios::ssa_nagios_checks' do
nagios_confdir = scope.lookupvar('nagios::params::nrpe_confdir')

Remember that sub-classes belong in their own file ... and only the

have to fully qualify class names when declaring them in their rb/pp
file.

[Puppet Users] Passing hash as parameters to manifest
I have a module for backuppc, and am trying to pass a hash to a define
to create a single script and the necessary directories. What I can't
seem to figure out how to do is have this hash's values be used to
create files / directories and also populate a template.
Here's the hash...
$backuppc_db_dumps = {
redmine = {
'backup_dir'= '/var/www/rails/redmine',
'databases' = 'redmine',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
general = {
'backup_dir'= '/etc',
'databases' = 'mysql',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
}
I have successfully used that to with a template to generate a script,
but am unsure how to pass those values to a define in order to ensure
the dump_dir exists.
After the above variable I added
backuppc::sqldump { $backuppc_db_dumps: }
Here's the define ...
define backuppc::sqldump () {
file {
$name[dump_dir]:
ensure = directory,
owner = 'root',
group = 'root',
mode= '0770',
}
}
Is this something that's even possible? The error I get doesn't make
any sense to me...
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Invalid tag generaldump_dir/backups/misc-

Should be double colon ... Puppet::Error.
Looking at your code, I can't help but think a function is a better
fit then Ruby DSL.

for determining the order in which resources are *applied* by the
agent, but they not necessarily the order in which resources are
evaluated during catalog compilation by the master.
Were class1 not parameterized, I would recommend that class2 simply
'include' it, and I am confident that would make it all good. But you
cannot do that with a parameterized class (as far as I am aware), so I
think that leaves you up a creek.

[Puppet Users] Vanishing facts
Hello all, I am running puppet 2.7.1 with mongrel and an apache proxy. I have been seeing an issue where it appears that the puppetmaster is completely ignoring any facts that are sent to it. When a client connects, any configuration that relies on facts shows those variables as being empty strings. (I have been testing this with a simple notify resource that prints out the IP address and the FQDN. Both of these are coming up as empty strings.) If I check the list of facts for a node through the REST API, it comes up as an empty list. Moreover, /var/lib/puppet/facts is persistently empty. This has been happening with every client that I have checked. If run a packet capture on the puppetmaster paying attention to the puppetmaster ports, then I definitely see the puppetmaster receive the facts in b64_zlib_yaml format. I can even decode the facts string and get the correct set of facts. So the puppetmaster is definitely receiving the facts. However, in the same packet capture, I see the puppetmaster return json for resources as if it had not received any facts at all. I have even gone so far as to blow away my entire /var/lib/puppet directory (except for the ssl), and try starting fresh to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can fix this? I am attaching my puppet.conf in case that will help. Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone has. Thank you very much.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Creating manifests automatically from an existing configuration?
Thank you John, I think you hit the nail on the head. I just started this gig and the sysadmin before me started the process of setting up our machines to be managed by puppet. We have a project to add a redundant server and he started this project with puppet in mind, but the manifests are not all done. He left in a bit of a hurry and I'm left to clean up and fill in the gaps where I can. As server1 is sound in it's current state, I was hoping I could use puppet to inspect that machines state and generate manifests that would make it simple to clone the machines state to another machine. It's ok, I believe I have the manifests good enough for a dry run. Anything missed now will be caught later when we start running full regression tests on the fail-over server. I'm starting to gather up the ammo needed to convince the boss to let me start moving most of our services into the cloud. From here on out, any new machines will be managed with puppet. It's quite a nice tool now that I'm starting to get the hang of it. Cheers!

Use this tip and see what puppet facts you are getting back on master: http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/see-all-client-variables.html The facts you get from the client should also reside in $vardir/yaml/facts, and you can examine them to see what you have.

Re: [Puppet Users] Vanishing facts
Is your config facts_terminus=yaml for a reason? Usually its 'facter'. ken. On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 10:59 PM, John T.

Re: [Puppet Users] Parse Puppet Manifests
Don't know exactly what you are looking for, but you may be interested in http://cloudsmith.github.com/geppetto/ which is tooling for puppet development - editor with syntax coloring, cross-reference checking, module-dependency checking, etc. As Geppetto contains its own parser that creates a model of puppet (and modules) it is possible to answer all sorts of questions about a configuration. Maybe some of what you are looking for is already there, or could be easily added (I am all ears for suggestions - not to mention happy about contributions).

[Puppet Users] Re: Passing hash as parameters to manifest
Looking up the use of create_resources which is mentioned in the bug
you linked, looks like it's available only in 2.7.x. I'm currently
running 2.6.9, but may be worth upgrading for.
I tried you suggestion, but get this error...
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Invalid tag dump_dir/backups/redmine-
sqldumpsdatabasesredminebackup_dir/var/www/rails/redmine at /etc/
puppet/modules/backuppc/manifests/definitions/sqldump.pp:11 on
node ...
Also I am not sure what you mean by functions that get an array of
first level hash keys.
Thanks

I have a module for backuppc, and am trying to pass a hash to a define
to create a single script and the necessary directories. What I can't
seem to figure out how to do is have this hash's values be used to
create files / directories and also populate a template.
Here's the hash...
$backuppc_db_dumps = {
redmine = {
'backup_dir' = '/var/www/rails/redmine',
'databases' = 'redmine',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
general = {
'backup_dir' = '/etc',
'databases' = 'mysql',
'dump_dir' = '/backups/misc-sqldumps',
},
}
I have successfully used that to with a template to generate a script,
but am unsure how to pass those values to a define in order to ensure
the dump_dir exists.
After the above variable I added
backuppc::sqldump { $backuppc_db_dumps: }
You are passing a hash as the resource title, a resource title is
either a string or array of string.
Here's the define ...
define backuppc::sqldump () {
file {
$name[dump_dir]:
ensure = directory,
owner = 'root',
group = 'root',
mode = '0770',
}
}
Is this something that's even possible? The error I get doesn't make
any sense to me...
Not in the current form, what you are looking for is probably best
described here:http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8670
However a small change should allow this to work. (disclaimer,
untested, but I've done something similar).
define backuppc::sqldump ($var) {
$value = $var[$name]
file {
$value[dump_dir]:
ensure = directory,
owner = 'root',
group = 'root',
mode = '0770',
}
}
backuppc::sqldump { ['redmine', 'general']:
var =$backuppc_db_dumps,
}
If you have a functions that gets an array of the first level hash
keys, you can use that instead of specifying redmine, general.
HTH,
Nan

Pretty sure you can be backport to 2.6 since it's just a function:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources
I tried you suggestion, but get this error...

Can't say for sure without more code, but this simple example should
demonstrate how this works:
$myhash = {
var1 = {
message = 'hi'
},
var2 = {
message = 'bye'
}
}
define my_notify ($var) {
notify { $name:
message = $var[$name]['message']
}
}
my_notify { ['var1', 'var2']:
var = $myhash
}
Also I am not sure what you mean by functions that get an array of
first level hash keys.
I mean if you need this to work with any hash without manually
providing an array of resource titles write a custom puppet function
that returns hash keys as a custom puppet function.

Nan
