Hi Axel - what OS? What version of Facter? What does the output of your

--debug' and pastebin the output somewhere?

[Puppet Users] Re: Does certification make sense for non-PE users?

[Christy]

Hi R. Tyler,

Both the Puppet Professional and Puppet Developer exams include questions 
about Puppet Open Source and Puppet Enterprise. However, many of the Puppet 
Enterprise-specific questions will be applicable to Puppet Open Source 
because Puppet Enterprise is based on Puppet Open Source. Since you're 
taking the Puppet Developer certification exam, you might want to check out 
the "Exam Objectives" section of this 
page: http://puppetlabs.com/services/certification/puppet-developer/. This 
will give you a clearer picture of what to expect from the exam.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please feel free to 
email certificat...@puppetlabs.com.

Thanks, Christy

[Puppet Users] Does certification make sense for non-PE users?

[R. Tyler Croy]

Subject really says it all. I took the practice exam linked from @PuppetLabs
and I was a little bit surprised/caught-off-guard by the number of either PE or
Console questions, neither of which I've ever used :-!

I am taking the developer exam though, so I'm sure that will be at least a
little different.

Does it make sense to take the exam for an "open source puppet user", or is it
really more geared towards Enterprise customers who use the "Puppet Ecosystem?"


Not that I don't like taking tests, I just don't want to waste PL's or my own
time if it doesn't make sense :)

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem with hiera arrays not obeying the hierachy

[Wolf Noble]

I believe hiera_array() collects and provides an array of all the relevant 
elements up the entirety of the tree. To collect only the most relevant data 
just use hiera()

The error is "Could not find class connexityApt", this means it cant find
your puppet class.

[Puppet Users] Re: trouble with catalog with Foreman as ENC

[confused]

Nothing?  I'm able to reproduce this problem without using Foreman.  If I 
add a new class to a host in Puppet's site.pp, I still get 'Could not 
retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER' message.

Would really appreciate any pointers on troubleshooting this problem.  My 
existing classes are working and I can edit them and have the updates work. 
 I am not able to add any new classes to my hosts without the client 
getting a 400 error.

[Puppet Users] Display partitions with facter and the inventory database

[Stephan]

Hi,

if anyone is interested, here's a way to get kind of a report of hard disks 
that are spilling over with the help of facter and the use of the facts 
inventory DB.

I'm using this fact called mounts.rb (can't remember where I got it from, 
just remember that I had to change df #{mount} to df -P #{mount} to make it 
work with long mount points):

mounts = []
> mntpoints=`mount -t ext2,ext3,ext4,reiserfs,xfs`
> mntpoints.split(/\n/).each do |m|
> mount = m.split(/ /)[2]
> mounts << mount
> end
>
> Facter.add("mounts") do
> confine :kernel => :linux
>
> setcode do
> mounts.join(',')
> end
> end
>
> mounts.each do |mount|
> output = %x{df -P #{mount}}
> output.each do |str|
> dsk_size = nil
> dsk_used = nil
> dsk_avail = nil
> if str =~ /^\S+\s+([0-9]+)\s+([0-9]+)\s+([0-9]+)\s+/
> dsk_size = $1
> dsk_used = $2
> dsk_avail = $3
> Facter.add("mount_#{mount}_size") do
> setcode do
> dsk_size
> end
> end
> Facter.add("mount_#{mount}_used") do
> setcode do
> dsk_used
> end
> end
> Facter.add("mount_#{mount}_avail") do
> setcode do
> dsk_avail
> end
> end
> end
> end
> end
>


Then in the inventory MySQL database I created these two views, which are 
prereqs for the actual query:

create view mount_extended as (select node_id, substring_index(name,"_",2) 
> as name, value, case when name regexp "mount_.*_avail" then value end as 
> avail, case when name regexp "mount_.*_size" then value end as size, case 
> when name regexp "mount_.*_used" then value end as used from 
> inventory_facts where name regexp "mount_");
>
> create view mount_pivot as (select inventory_nodes.name as hostname, 
> trim(leading "mount_" from mount_extended.name) as name, sum(avail) as 
> avail, sum(size) as size, sum(used) as used from mount_extended, 
> inventory_nodes where (mount_extended.node_id = inventory_nodes.id) group 
> by node_id, mount_extended.name);
>

And the actual query looks like this:


select hostname as Hostname, name as Mountname, round(avail/1000,0) as 
> "Free in MB", round(size/1000,0) as "Total in MB", round(used/1000,0) as 
> "Used in MB", round(100-100*avail/size,1) as "% used" from mount_pivot 
> where round(100-100*avail/size) >= 80 order by avail;
>

I know this is a bit hacky, but it works for my purposes.

[Puppet Users] Re: Literal @ character in erb template

[banjer]

The puppet error was: 

  err: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter source failed: Could not 
understand source # This file managed by Puppet

Sorry for not seeing that error before...I kept looking at the "Bad URI" 
error message which I posted in my original email.  So anyway, it turns out 
I was using 'source' instead of 'content' within my file declaration in my 
manifest.   My working file resource looks like this now:


file { "rsyslog.conf":
path=> "/etc/rsyslog.conf",
owner   => root,
group   => root,
mode=> 644,
content => template('syslog/rsyslog.conf.erb'),
require => Package["rsyslog"],
}


All good now.  Thanks for the assistance, it gave me a few pointers on 
troubleshooting templates and puppet manifests.

Along with everything else that was pointed out, it turned out that I was
using a node with the same name as my module, and therefore it was not
being called.

[Puppet Users] Re: Version control design for puppet and data (hiera) repositories

[Martijn]

Good question. I'm wondering about that as well.

My setup works for my small team, but is admittedly far from perfect.
I currently have two Git repo's, one for my nodes.pp and another for my 
modules. Both repo's have three branches; development, testing and master. 
I've created environments on my Puppetmaster, named production, testing, 
dev_blabla, etc. Production is a clone from the master branches, testing is 
a clone from the testing branches, and dev_blabla are any number of clones 
from development branches of developers. Users that need to develop each 
get their own dev_username environment, so they can develop and debug on 
the puppetmaster. They can use the environment=dev_username parameter to 
test on some servers, but are not allowed to do anything in the production 
and testing environments. They can push their commits to a Bitbucket 
remote. Due to Git's design, anyone with push permissions can push any 
branches, so there's not much security in the repos. However, only admins 
have access to the testing and production environments. They will fetch 
changes from the Bitbucket remote, review them, test if necessary and merge 
them into the local environments. There's quite a bit of pushing and 
merging going on, and it's annoying to commit, push, fetch and merge, just 
to get your changes from one environment to the next. I suppose it does 
help prevent mistakes though.

I hope that story makes some sense. I'd be very interested to see how 
others set up their version control workflow, since I'm looking into Hiera 
as well.

Regards, Martijn

*Always* use native packages for installing software if it is possible to 
do so, even if that requires building the packages yourself (which is not 
that hard for most platforms).

[Puppet Users] Get a list of (some) resources name

[Maxence Dunnewind]

Hi,

I'm moving our monitoring configuration from custom-script to puppet.
One of my main issue is that I have some nagios groups with many host on them.
For exemple, a group for all host which have a munin-node running, a group for
the others, etc ...
So, my goal is to be able to make a nagios_host belong to a list of group in a
non-static way (the list of groups is generated from the different puppet
classes run on each node).
The first thing I thought of was to use a list, for exemple :
@@nagios_host { "foo":
 [...]
 hostgroups => [ "group1", "group2" ]
}

So that I could easily extend it with something like :
Nagios_host["foo"] {
hostgroups +> ["group3"]
}

But, afaik, puppet does not yet support this (reported as bug #4020) (We use
puppet 2.6.9).

So, my second approach is to use tags and nagios_hostgroups, for exemple :
nagios_host { "foo":
  [...]
  tag => ["X","Y"]
}
nagios_host { "bar":
  [...]
  tag => ["Y", "Z"]
}

nagios_hostgroup { "Y":
  [...]
  members => somemagicfunction("Y")
}

Here, the "somemagicfunction" should be able to find all the list of Nagios_host
resources with the tag "Y", and return a list of their title, so something like
"foo,bar".

Any way to do this ? Or is their any better solution/workaround ? 

Regards,

Maxence

Well, I do prefer to set selinux to non-enforcing mode instead of actually 
disabling it, but I don't suppose that's what you meant.

As with anything security-related, it's all about risk and cost / benefit.  
If you don't have someone competent to do so managing your SELinux policy, 
then enforcing SELinux policy is likely to cost you a reduction in 
stability and periodic loss of functionality.  Turning off policy 
enforcement or disabling SELinux altogether will be better choices for some 
people, but if that would represent an unacceptable risk for the particular 
machine in question, then your next best bet is to hire or train an SELinux 
policy manager.  If you don't know pretty well how to manage SELinux 
policy, but you must nevertheless enforce it, then you are going to get 
your SELinux training the hard way, and chances are your site will feel the 
pain along with you.

More generally, the underlying ERB engine will treat anything in your 
template but outside ERB blocks (delimited by <% %> or <%= %> or <%# %>) as 
literal text, except for <%% (which is translated to <% in the output) and 
%%> (which is translated to %>).

Without the actual error message (or, apparently, the template that causes 
it) I can only speculate about what the problem may be, but one thing to 
look for would be proper closure of all ERB code blocks before the template 
text where the error is reported.

Really, thats brilliant cheers. Not only does that fix my problem but I can 
remove a whole load of weird hacks I had in place merging hases together. I 
also upgraded to hiera 1.0 to try and fix so all good.

What is the behaviour regarding hash keys? Would a merged hash that ends up
