[Puppet Users] hiera_hash explanation?
Hi
I want to create parametrized class with hash parameter from
hiera .yaml file
so i got
hiera.yaml
backends: - yaml
- json
- puppet
:hierarchy: - %{host}
- common
:json:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hiera
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hiera
:puppet:
:datasource: data
common.yaml
---
mailserver:
uid: 8
gid: 8
and
init.pp
class dovecot($mailserver = hiera_hash(mailserver))
{
notice(${mailserver[uid]})
notice(${mailserver[gid]})
}
i cant get values uid,gid from hash $mailserver
how can i do that?
or how to better debug why it is not working??

just do hiera(mailserver)
hiera_hash is a special lookup that builds a hash based on data found
at many levels of the hierarchy, if you have a single key with a array
or hash in it, then just look it up with hiera()

[Puppet Users] Cross-nodes modules: howto?
Let's say I have a web application which I want to deploy separately: * the static content and appropriate configuration on a machine with Apache on it, * the dynamic content and appropriate configuration on a machine with Tomcat on it.

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet unable to find a defined resource.
On Sep 2, 1:21 pm, Brad Krane brad.kr...@gmail.com wrote:
Here is a very simple manifest that recreates this error:

define bar ( $val ) {
notice(bar($val))

Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid
resource type foo::bar at /tmp/puptest.pp:9 on node www-cms-
dev.fs.uwaterloo.ca
This seems like a bug to me.
There is at minimum a documentation bug (the docs don't discuss
whether or how to interpolate hash values) and a bug / needed feature
regarding the extremely unhelpful error message. I'm not sure whether
it's supposed to work to interpolate a hash value as you are
attempting to do (and I don't recall offhand whether you can
interpolate array elements either), but supporting that is at least a
viable feature request.
In the mean time, there are at least two workarounds I can think of.
One is to use an inline template to do your interpolation, and another
is to copy the hash value into an ordinary variable and then
interpolate that. I would personally prefer the latter in most
circumstances; I find it clearer, especially if I need the hash value
more than once:
$theme_name = $theme['name']
# Site theme
drupal6::theme-repo { ${name}-${theme_name}:
}
Note also that there's a better solution for your simplified example,
where the string you want is exactly the hash value: just omit the
quotes. To wit,
foo::bar { $some_hash['name']: }

[Puppet Users] Skipped schedule resources in reports
Hi all, Since upgrading a few test machines from 2.6.7 to 2.7.3, I've noticed something slightly odd. Every single run reports 6 skipped resources, yet the reports are empty - they only state the execution time as per usual). On digging further it seems that the auto-generated Schedule resources (type/schedule.rb, line 307) are the entities being skipped, presumably because I'm not using them in any of my manifests. This is leading to a lot of reports with spurious data in them - since I don't use schedules, why should I care that Puppet skipped the default ones? This wouldn't be an issue, but I'm processing the reports and producing emails which summarize activity in the last hour, so for every 2.7.3 node, I'm seeing 12 skipped resources per hour, which is noise that swamps the real data of resources that have changed for good reason. Is there a way to disable these default schedules, or the reporting of them? I tried --ignoreschedules on the commandline, but I get the impression that this causes other resources to run outside their normal schedule, rather than disabling the schedules themselves. As a hack, I added return Array.new to the self.mkdefaultschedules listed above, which stops the resources being generated, but this seems an ugly hack, and one I seem to have to make on every node. Is there a better way? Regards, Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Cross-nodes modules: howto?
I do this with a define. In my case, I define a web application and pass in
several arrays of hosts. This expands, in turn, to a series of if
statements that check to see which array (if any) $hostname is in and then
sets appropriate variables. I use this to generate Nagios hostgroups,
assign roles, generate configuration files, etc. And since the ugliness is
all in the define, the manifest is very readable, e.g.
complete_app_environment{ Production Reno
app_servers = [host1, host2, host3],
web_servers = [host4, host5],
solr_servers = [host6, host7],
mule_servers = [host8, host9],
external_name = foo.bar.com;

[Puppet Users] classes with parameters
I have a node def that refers to 2 classes like this;
node default {
class {
[ eucalyptus, eucalyptus::nc ]:
}
}
The 2nd requires the first class.
Now, I've added parameters to the 2nd class and would like to set
values here. What is the appropriate way to do that? I'm looking at
the docs here and not seeing a clear way. I'll just try some things to
see what works in the meantime.

[Puppet Users] Slightly OT: Puppet + OpenQRM
I've recently been looking to move my KVM management (currently via Puppet and virt-manager) to something web-based and robust (ie Cloud), and came across OpenQRM. Looking at the features list it mentions puppet Class/Machine management. Has anyone that uses Puppet extensively given this a try? I'd like to get input on how this works. The only ENC or GUI interface I've used with Puppet is Foreman (which is awesome btw), but this peaked my interest. Thus far I've tried Cloudstack (a few months ago) and Convirt, both were great, but not what I needed. Any input on experiences with OpenQRM as it relates to Puppet would be great, thanks. - Trey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

I'm not sure why the module name is unknown, unless you are planning

manifests you should be able to use the puppet variable $module_name
if you are on 2.6+. Since the files directory is intended for file

the config file in the module templates dir:

I thought it was a little bit weird too, to be changing from include

But I guess once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. Being able

Actually, more specifically, I have this:
class platform::common {
file {
'/etc/somedir':
ensure = directory;
}
class webapp::common {
require platform::common
file {
/etc/somedir/configfile:
# stuff here.

}
When puppet runs, it's trying to apply the file
/etc/somedir/configfile _before_ /etc/somedir. This seems to
contradict the behaviour the documentation describes.

Starting out, user dt is not a member of group dt-grp: # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: ...Run puppet, says it adds to the group: # puppet agent --test --environment production info: Caching catalog for cypress.keck.waisman.wisc.edu info: Applying configuration version '1315332406' notice: /Stage[main]/Users_test/User[dt]/groups: groups changed '' to 'dt-grp' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.89 seconds ...but the user still isn't part of the group: # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: ...Hrm, let's add the user manually... # dseditgroup -o edit -n . -a dt dt-grp # dscl . read /groups/dt-grp | grep GroupMembership GroupMembership: dt ...But puppet still tries to add the user to the group... # puppet agent --test --environment production info: Caching catalog for cypress.keck.waisman.wisc.edu info: Applying configuration version '1315332406' notice: /Stage[main]/Users_test/User[dt]/groups: groups changed '' to 'dt-grp' notice: Finished catalog run in 0.83 seconds Any help much appreciated... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Package provider for gentoo?
Once again I'm experimenting with the Gentoo Linux distro and trying to get
puppet to work with it. I'm starting to think it is a lost cause.
In my puppet setup I have a list of packages that are built on any system
that I support regardless of the systems final use. These include tmpwatch,
snmpd, ntpd.. you get the idea. Using the templates I already had in place
I run puppetd for the first time on the target host and got the following
error:
warning: Found multiple default providers for package: pip, gem; using pip
I checked the on-line documentation and found there was a provider (or so
the docs said) for portage, which was good news to me since I know that
Gentoo is portage based. So I added to my site.pp file:
if ( $operatingsystem == gentoo ) {
Package { provider = portage }
}
Well in the words of my son, Epic Fail.
Now I get:
err: Could not prefetch package provider 'portage': Command update_eix is
missing
I'm running puppet 2.7.3 on both the puppet master and the client. Any
thoughts?

David I think there are a bunch of OSX Lion bugs in the ticket DB that might be worth checking if this one is picked up. We've got code for some and need to do some refactoring for others.

Re: [Puppet Users] Package provider for gentoo?
Doing a google after I sent the email I found the following page: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Puppet_Gentoo after doing a emerge eix and re-running the puppet transaction things *look* to be going normally can't tell for sure since it is still running and it is not generating any spew for me to look at. I'll know in a while if it worked.

The puppet documentation at

Evaluate one or more classes, adding the required class as a dependency.
This implies that any resources in the required class are
automatically added as a dependancy. I'm NOT seeing this behaviour.
How is it supposed to work?
Doug
Actually, more specifically, I have this:
class platform::common {
file {
'/etc/somedir':
ensure = directory;
}
class webapp::common {
require platform::common
file {
/etc/somedir/configfile:
# stuff here.
}
}
When puppet runs, it's trying to apply the file
/etc/somedir/configfile _before_ /etc/somedir. This seems to
contradict the behaviour the documentation describes.
Suggest you try this...
class webapp::common {
include platform::common
file {
/etc/somedir/configfile:
require = Class[platform::common],
# stuff here.
}
}

Re: [Puppet Users] Package provider for gentoo?
Peter, Puppet works great on gentoo with the following caveats: - Puppet conceptually uses a binary package paradigm, and one needs to work around that. It would be nice if we could extend puppet for gentoo to make it more source based distribution aware and especially allow it to manage portage configuration files and limit compile times/etc. - Do to the differences between binary and source, one frequently will setup puppet to run only once/day on server nodes during off peak hours so that any compiling/package dependencies will not occur during critical periods - and if possible, all compiling will occur on the build server prior to puppet agent calls on other nodes. - Gentoo supports more cron systems than puppet supports (last I checked, puppet did not support fcron) - Gentoo admins are slightly behind redhat/fedora admins in writing public modules, this is an area where there is a significant amount of activity and I hope we can eventually catch up on. - The handling of dependencies and libraries is not clear cut, and one usually has to create a separate script to run after puppet to ensure linking is correct and that python/perl/etc modules are happy. There are additional issues, but all of them to date can be reasonably overcome/managed. I've been in contact with many admins w/ larger sized clusters and improving the puppet experience on gentoo is a frequent topic of conversation. I wouldn't be discouraged by any initial issues you find.

The closest you could come was that our timeouts might not suit, for example, hours of compilation to install a package, but it fundamentally shouldn't fail. If it does, file a bug. (Note, for example, that our gem package provider absolutely does support native compiled code on install.) This comes down to the package provider depending on eix, which is presumably some sort of interface to portage that isn't standard; fixing the provider should fix the problem there.

You *should* be able to tie that together with an appropriate exec to at least automate it.

The documentation pretty clearly says that using the require function automatically adds that class as a dependancy. If so, why would I need to explicitly add require = to resources? If I had to do that, I'd use include instead. Can someone at Puppet Labs maybe chime in here.?

That pretty much depends on someone who cares sending an appropriate patch. (hint ;) That's probably most of it. Can you provide a link to the file(s) on github within the puppet source specific to the gentoo packaging provider? I'll see if I can find to review it and consider extending or updating it to understand more of the gentoo build specific procedures. I'm not sure if this might require adding new keywords or resources, or if we're just talking about setting and creating class variables that the provider would interpret and implement. - The handling of dependencies and libraries is not clear cut, and one usually has to create a separate script to run after puppet to ensure linking is correct and that python/perl/etc modules are happy. You *should* be able to tie that together with an appropriate exec to at least automate it. Yes and no -- it's not a clear cut process. Most of the time there are just a few calls after a package is installed, but frequently you'll want to limit those calls until all other package operations are complete, and/or run the calls over and over to slowly resolve dependencies if there is a failure. Some of the calls can also be quite expensive so they are only run when certain packages are modified - so there might be a bit of intelligence that has to be stored in code to get a fully optimized robust solution. Differing versions of portage can also have an impact/etc. Daniel -- ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
