[Puppet Users] puppet calling stat() on managed symlinks
Hi All, We are seeing an unfortunate side effect using puppet to manage a directory of symlinks pointing to automounted filesystems. It seems that as well as verifying that the link matches the desired target (readlink/lstat), it is also performing an open() on the links and causing the filesystems to be automounted. The pattern here is: file { "/data": ensure => directory, source => "/nfsmount/links/data", recurse => true, force => true, } Imagine everything is in the steady state, i.e.: symlink /data/fs1 -> /net/server1/fs1 exists symlink /nfsmount/links/data/fs1 -> /net/server1/fs1 exists Then at some point in the run (after doing lstat("/data/fs1"), readlink("/data/fs1")), puppet appears to attempt an open("/data/fs1", O_RDONLY). IANAE here, but it seems that this open is unnecessary? Once the target of the link in the managed directory is verified to match the target of the link on the source, that should be sufficient? (just had an idea as I was writing this) it *appears* I can work around it by coding all of the symlinks individually as ensure=>link into puppet itself. However I still think the behaviour is incorrect. Thoughts? Thanks, Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Dashboard 1.2.7 Classes tab is missing
Hello everybody. After several days going in circles and following the explanations of the book Pro-Puppet and docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/ manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html (Using Dashboard for Node Clssification), I find myself unable to explain why I cannot move forward. This is where I am at the moment: Master RHEL 6.2 Test nodes: 5.8 with same Puppet version. No firewall, no SELinux Puppet Server 2.7.13 Puppet Dashboard 1.2.7 running in port 80, no SSL Both working fine under passenger, if I use node_terminus = plain only. I can only use the Dashboard for reporting. It can see the nodes' facts too. What I cannot do: * Assign classes to nodes (the classes tab is not even there). * Load the existing nodes and modules from site.pp file >> I expected this to be trivial, it is not apparently. *Use Dashboard as external node classifier. If I enable 'node_terminus exec' and 'external_nodes = /usr/bin/env PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http://puppetserver.mydomain.com /usr/share/ puppet-dashboard/bin/external-node In external node I have changed: The DASHBOARD_URL to point to http://puppetserver.mydomain.com (i tried including the port as well) The certs are pointing to existing puppetserver certs. If I enable all this and run a test from a node, I get that: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find node 'testnode.mydomain.com' ; cannot compile. If I run it manually from the master: sudo -u puppet = /usr/bin/env PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http:// puppetserver.mydomain.com /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/bin/external- node Then I get: Error 403 Forbidden Node Classification has been disabled ___ What I was expecting: 1. Puppet Dashboard to 'see' what it is in plain site.pp and import it into the nodes list, and from there move on and be able to use both sources of information as the node classifier. As I understand in the manual: "You can use Dashboard's external node classifier (ENC) alongside traditional Puppet DSL definitions." What am I missing? 2. Puppet Dashbord to load modules classes from a given module path in puppet.conf. Again, if puppet agent can do this, why doesn't the Dashboard do it too? Would it be naive to say that what I was expecting was to be able to discover nodes and classes, add nodes, add groups, collect and view reports from the dashboard, and keep my site.pp where I have nodes with parametrized classes and also keep editing my modules from the command line and vi and i have done so far? I would appreciate your replies. Regards, Guillem -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: How can i make a 'file' resource depend on package installation?
To make this work you need to have: file { '/etc/foo': ensure => present, require => Package['SomePackage'], } as well as: package { 'SomePackage': ensure => present, } The require always has to have something in Puppet to match to. By saying "ensure => present" you're just telling puppet "hey if this package is installed then don't worry, otherwise install the latest version you can find through the package manager". As long as you have both pieces you should be in good shape!

Once the > target of the link in the managed directory is verified to match the > target of the link on the source, that should be sufficient? That sounds sensible, but I don't know whether it's practical; some of Puppet's behaviors are constrained by the underlying Ruby libraries. In any case, the first thing to try is to set "links => manage" on your File resource (not "links => ignore", which cannot work when the desired links are not yet present). The bottom line, however, is that recursive File management has always been a sore spot for Puppet, and it probably always will be. It is not remotely possible to provide enough information in the parameters of a single File resource to cover all the possible permutations of desired behavior. Puppet does a fairly good job of coping with that when asked to do so, but generally you are better off finding a different approach. If you have a large number of files, then you may be better off wrapping the whole thing into a custom package (e.g. an RPM), putting that in a local repository or on a network filesystem, and managing that package instead of the individual files. If there are only a few files (that you want to manage) then by all means set up individual file resources for them.

Re: [Puppet Users] Testing a single module
Thanks for your reply. I do not have reliable access to an internet connection at the moment. Just to flesh out my problem a bit more: I need to update my sendmail module, but want to test it first. I have two puppet environments (dev and prod), but mail is critical in both. Ideally I would choose a single host on which to test if my changes worked, then push it everywhere if everything works. I tried your puppet apply command, but this failed (probably because I only have the modules on the puppet master, and modulepath is empty). Copying the puppet module to a specific host seems like I am going in the wrong direction. I considered adding testing flag to my module, which would pull in "module::testing" instead of "module", but this seems hacky and a replacement for versioning (does puppet do module versioning?). So I suppose I am asking for a nicer way to do what you suggest, or am I approaching this from the wrong direction?

For example, if you just wanted to test the nginx::config class you could run: puppet apply -v -e 'include nginx::config' This (specifically the -e flag with the code you want to pass in quotes) allows you to 'test' a specific class out-of-band from your regular Puppet runs. DO NOTE, HOWEVER, that 'test' in this sense means that it will ACTUALLY DECLARE THE CLASS AND PERFORM THE ACTION! If this is not what you want, you'll still need to add the --noop flag to SIMULATE the code. You can also create individual files in your modules 'tests' directory and declare them with puppet apply too (if you need more than just one line to test your code - a la Defined Resource Types).

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet and FreeBSD
Breaking in late... I use some defaults to ensure I get binary packages out of my local mirror. (I'm not terribly fussed about binary-only packages, possibly because I come from a Linux background.) case $::operatingsystem { freebsd: { # For this we still have to specify freebsd'ish names. Instead of # 'ntp', we have to use 'net/ntp'. Package { provider => 'freebsd', source => 'http://repos/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.0-release/', } } } Then as mentioned above: package { 'net/ntp': } I found that if I specified other styles of package names with the freebsd package provider they would be reinstalled with every puppet run. For some modules I use the 'include "module::$operatingsystem"' syntax, for others I use a case statement. I'm still undecided which is better, but so far it depends how much systems diverge from each other on a per-module basis.

[Puppet Users] Re: Only write file if copy on master is present
I didn't mean to imply that this was your fault and I already knew that the puppet support probably was missing because it's quite tricky to implement. Since I've started looking into writing my own functions and modules and get a bit deeper into puppet I might actually look into this myself if I find the time.

A lot of it is hack and slash with modules for the net, we've been adding in the operatingsystem variable for path and package names where needed.

[Puppet Users] RSpec test to verify variable/parameter declaration
I have a module in which parameterized classes inherit regular (non- parameterized) 'params' class. I am writing RSpec tests for this module and would like to make sure that required variables have been declared in the params class. Also, is it possible to write RSpec test to make sure that these variables/parameters are accepted by the required parameterized classes?

[Puppet Users] HA with BIG-IP?
Hi, Is there anyone using BIG-IP to load balance client side connections to multiple puppet masters? I'm looking for advice on a configuration, specifically: * How to handle SSL. Should I try to decrypt client side traffic at the BIG-IP? If so, should LB <-> BIG-IP traffic be unencrypted via HTTP? I have seen this scenario described in Pro Puppet.

Re: [Puppet Users] HA with BIG-IP?
Hi Josh, It would depend on whether an F5 can be made to write the necessary information into an HTTP header. What I would do to is look at how Apache populates the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN and SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY headers when you use it as a Puppet Master front end and see if you can replicate that on an F5. F5 iRules are quite powerful so I'd say it might be possible but probably not straight out of the box. As for a health monitor I'm not sure... Puppet Masters are RESTful so you might be able to come up with something tricky with that. -Luke On 23/04/12 16:53, Josh wrote: Hi, Is there anyone using BIG-IP to load balance client side connections to multiple puppet masters?

Funnily enough I was asking a similar thing on IRC the other day but didn't get much luck. We're implementing Hiera across modules that require significant amounts of variables. We have a lot of environments (>20) and we often get problems where someone introduces a new variable, adds it to a template and tests it in dev but dont add a default, or add it to each environment, therefore catalog compilation fails in non-dev environments. Ideally I'd like to be able to catch this with rspec-puppet but can't see an easy way to say "class bar should have variable foo and it shouldn't be undefined", or something when sourcing variables from other classes or hiera.

[Puppet Users] Creating a system module path (starting with Telly)
There was some discussion and concern about moving the Nagios types/providers out of the core area of Puppet for Telly. We made a mistake of talking about a point solution to a problem rather than the vision on where we’d like it to go, and why. We’ve attempted to outline this a bit more so you can hopefully have a better understanding of our ideas. As always, feel free to comment and voice concerns. This isn’t set in stone and at this point is a proposal. == The Problem == Bundling types and providers into the core of Puppet has a few problems. The most important problem is that it ties releases of the types or providers to releases of core Puppet. That is a pretty slow moving (for stability) system, and it is also a system where most of the investment goes into supporting new releases rather than improving older releases. We want to keep our core stable, while allowing the community platform experts, distro maintainers and other users to enhance the experience with certain aspects of Puppet without having to wait for the next major release. The secondary problem is that it plays favourites - some platform types are in core, others are not. Some monitoring systems, or disk management systems are in core, others are not. That doesn't reflect the real importance of those types, or that some are more special or more stable than others - just happenstance of time. On the other hand, having Puppet work out of the box is awesome. You should be able to install Puppet and immediately get started, managing your platform and generally doing awesome things. Puppet with no types, and no providers, is not awesome. It can't do anything - and "install twenty things, then ..." is not a good introductory experience. == Proposed Solution == We want to take some of the great lessons from other platforms - Perl, Python, and Ruby - and apply them to this problem: We are proposing to pull more types and providers out of Puppet, so they get the benefit of an independent release cycle, and the advantages of full forge integration. We also propose to have a "system" module path: a set of modules that ship with core Puppet, taken from the forge, and available by default at install time. They will ensure that Puppet is still awesome out of the box - but that you can list modules and their versions, and can update freely. We also plan a "vendor" module path, and a "site" module path. Other platforms have shown the value of this: when distributions package Puppet, they might want more or different modules to support their systems better. Allowing them to drop into the vendor module path and operate in the same way as our system modules makes it easy to use normal modules in an awesome way. Finally, the "site" module path allows for easy deployment of modules through other packaging systems like yum and apt, internally to companies and sites that want a different path for versioning modules. They separate the mutable path used by the local tool and the managed path for self-packaged modules. This seems to offer the best of both worlds: we can take full advantage of the strengths of modules, but without giving up the awesomeness of Puppet that does great things out of the box. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

(#12831) Fix recursion on first kernel fact resolution We encounter a recursion if we want to detect the kernel fact for the first time: The kernel codeblock calls Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("uname -s") and Facter::Util::Resolution#exec wants to detect if we can use `which` to get the full path of the command. But the method Facter::Util::Resolution#have_which tries to query the kernel fact again to check if we are on windows. Change the check in have_which so we dont have to query the kernel fact.

[Puppet Users] Announce: Puppet 2.7.14rc2 Available
Puppet 2.7.14rc2 is a maintenance release candidate for Puppet in the 2.7.x series. Downloads are available: * Source http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-2.7.14rc2.tar.gz ## Bug Fixes ## (#14060) Fix quoting of commands to interpolate inside the shell. The `shell` exec provider was supposed to emulate the behaviour of 0.25 exec, which was to pass the content through the default shell to get it executed. Unfortunately, it got quoting a bit wrong, and ended up interpolating variables at the wrong point - it used double quotes where single quotes were really what was desired. Thanks to Matthew Byng-Maddick for the report, and a fix to the quoting; in the end we should not be in this position - we shouldn't be using string execution where we can pass an array instead. That avoids any chance that there is more than one round of shell interpolation entirely. As a bonus, this fixes the base exec type to support specifying the command to run that very way, and making it good. (#14101) Improve deprecation warning for dynamic lookup The new message will tell the user how to get more information about what is occuring. More information will be provided at debug level so that a user can see what the change to the lookup will be.

Re: [Puppet Users] RSpec test to verify variable/parameter declaration
So, rspec-puppet can't and won't ever work this way. What it's testing is the resulting catalogue of Puppet resources that your host executes (the behaviour of Puppet). Instead of testing that a variable is defined, you should be testing the resource(s) that those variables control/adjust. For example, if your variable changes the templated contents of a file resource, then you should be testing the contents of that file resource.

[Puppet Users] Re: [Puppet-dev] Creating a system module path (starting with Telly)
I've noticed that nobody else has replied to this but as one of the more vocal people in the original discussion I'd like to state that I love the idea of a vendor and site module path and think this is an ideal way to move these things out of the core. This proposal is much less scary than the previous conversations and at this point is actually a pretty big improvement over the current situation. So, +1 from this guy!

[Puppet Users] Analysing some puppetmaster logs to find out what's happening on an agent
Hi all, in an unfortunate incident, I managed to lock myself out of a client's server. Basically an openssh module that by default disabled remote root logins did that on a server that was only accessed by remote root login (no other use raccounts present on that server). Unfortunately, this is a colocated server and next trip to the dc is scheduled for next thursday. No KVM over IP, no remote hands, pretty much the ideal situation :P. The Xen server is still running, and so are the domU's on it, but this is less then ideal. If any of the domU's goes down, there's nothing we can do :) Now, the puppet agent is running every 30 minutes, but something seems to make it not execute the catalog. I have set the puppetmaster to debug in order to see what's happening, but I can't figure it out. Here's a gist of the puppet master log: https://gist.github.com/2475554 x7 is the offending server, x6 has exactly the same puppet definition. Can anyone tell me why the log for x7 just stops, with no error or nothing? What does that indicate is happening on x7? Any help is much appreciated :) cheers, -- Walter Heck -- follow @walterheck on twitter to see what I'm up to! -- Check out my new startup: Server Monitoring as a Service @ http://tribily.com Follow @tribily on Twitter and/or 'Like' our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/tribily -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Analysing some puppetmaster logs to find out what's happening on an agent
I admit I've never read puppetmaster logs like that so what I'm about to say may be very bad advice. Since resources removed from your manifests become unmanaged rather than deleted, why not swap the node's current manifest for one which only re-enables ssh root login? Once you have access you can return to the desired manifest, and use your existing socket to see what gives. This might also be time to consider remote syslog, that way you can see what the node itself is doing.

Re: [Puppet Users] Analysing some puppetmaster logs to find out what's happening on an agent
In my test environment, I managed to make puppet agent stop working when I update facter package, without restarting puppet. Somehow, when facter updated, puppet is not able to continue working, maybe because the expected version of facter is different or something. It was resolved when I restarted puppet agent. On troubleshooting, did you enable reporting in puppet agent config? If you do, you might want to see the output of the report in /var/lib/puppet/reports/ I noticed my previous issue when I go through the report in that folder.

[Puppet Users] read server certificate B: certificate verify failed error is driving people crazy
It seems like there must be a better way of dealing with these errors in a puppermaster-agent setup. I currently have one master and one agent that work, running on ubuntu 10.10 (maverick meerkat server). On another machine, same os and hardware, I try installing with the same steps and when I run sudo puppet agent --test --verbose --debug --server , it is constantly hitting: read server certificate B: certificate verify failed I tried all sorts of solutions to this. Cleaning every trace of puppet on the non-working agent, then reinstalling it and trying again. Checked that times agreed and that certificates appeared valid at the given times. The only thing which finally worked was completely wiping both the master and the agent nodes, then reinstalling and starting them up gingerly. I think the problem with this error message is that it is somewhat obtuse, and occurs in far too many cases. It also appears the system with certificates is fragile. Some of the items which may be messing up the certificate chain and ability to straighten it out are: 1. If an agent is running, then running a one-shot puppet agent --test to try and figure out what is happening. Perhaps there needs to be a lock check here even if a user is running puppet agent off the command line if only one agent can run at a time. 2. If the server name is something like rm16 and there is a CNAME from puppet to rm16, is the system still generating proper certificate names for all checks that will be executed? To make the system run and install I've had to first set servname=rm16 in the puppet.conf before starting up the agent. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Analysing some puppetmaster logs to find out what's happening on an agent
Hi Walter, Ok, I think that narrows it down to cron issue possibility, as you mentioned the other server with the same puppet configurations works well. Reports only generated if puppet is running, even if there are errors. When there are no reports, it could mean that puppet is not running, or things that should execute puppet (eg. cron) is not running. It looks like nothing you can do remotely right now, other than physical access to the server. Maybe others will have better suggestion.
