But obviously the first entry in the file array which resolves to '/repository/sonatype-work/nexus' was the trigger for Puppet to start recursive scanning everything. So, the misconfiguration was on my side (nice pitfall), but I wonder if this is expected behaviour. Shouldn't recursion only be done on the last entry of the file array? No. Why would you suppose that? When you write a resource declaration of the form someresource { [ 'title1', 'title2']: param1 = value1, param2 = value2 } it is shorthand for separate resource declarations, one for each title given, all having the specified parameters: someresource { 'title1': param1 = value1, param2 = value2 } someresource { 'title2': param1 = value1, param2 = value2 } The use of an array to specify multiple titles is perhaps a bit quirky in itself (though useful!), but I don't see why anyone would suppose that resources specified that way would be assigned different parameters from each other. There is nothing specific to the File resource type here, but even if there were, why would you expect Puppet to suppose that you only wanted recursion on one of the specified resources? I don't see it. John Yes, you're right. My idea was to have the 'source=' parameter only applied to the last entry in the array. This was simply an error in reasoning.

So just in case you have the same problem: using : storeconfigs = true dbadapter = mysql dbname = puppet dbuser = puppet dbpassword = dbserver = localhost causes puppet master to ignore the ENC setting, however if i use: storeconfigs = true storeconfigs_backend = puppetdb and use puppetdb for storeconf everything works fine.

[Puppet Users] Re: Where puppet store the source files?
I don't know where your Puppet gets that path from. I've never seen it before. Maybe the setting is specified in your config file. Run the following commands as the user that your puppetmaster uses: puppet --configprint modulepath This command will show in which directories Puppet looks for your modules. In your case, I'd expect /file_metadata to be in that list. puppet --configprint config This command will show where Puppet's config file is stored. Open that file and you can set your prefered modulepath like this example: [main] modulepath = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules:/opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules Run the first command again, and you should see that Puppet now uses the path you specified.

[Puppet Users] Re: Systems Provisioning
Hi There, I manage a relatively large RHEL environment, we handle provisioning as follows: - PXE + Kickstart to bootstrap and install the base OS + Puppet client onto the platform, be it VMWare or bare metal - Kickstart post scripts put a basic puppet configuration file in place on the host, and a number of the values for things such as environment and puppetmaster come from Foreman's Macro's, this allows values in the ENC to flow into the kickstart files before your first puppet run. We then run in the %post section of the kickstart file the following: - A Puppet run that bootstraps the puppet client using tags ie, --tags puppet::client - A full puppet run via puppet agent -tov which applys the SOE to the platform That provides on first boot a fully configured RHEL server that includes all our additional software and customisations in about 3-5 minutes (not including POST) In regards to certs, we have a relatively open autosign.conf on our build networks, so we can provision servers , physical or virtual quite quickly by just hitting F12 for a network boot. I am sure there are some cleaner/more secure things we can do provisioning wise, however these have been slightly hindered by the RHN Satellite server i've been slowly pulling out of the environment at the same time, as it had the potential to break things if i wasnt careful. ENC wise, I can't recommend Foreman enough, version 1.x is just brilliant, you can see the macros it can provide here: http://theforeman.org/projects/foreman/wiki/TemplateWriting Hope this helps, K On Sunday, September 16, 2012 7:22:03 AM UTC+1, Douglas wrote: I'm wondering what people are doing systems provisioning with, ie the process that gets puppet installed onto a system, running for the first time, and also the handling of certificate signing and so forth.

[Puppet Users] Re: Do you rely on 'param=undef' being equal to '(nothing)'?
I expect param = undef to be an explicit expression of 'param' not being specified by the current declaration, or as an override, to express the idea of the overridden resource as if 'param' had not been specified. The latter is essential. The former follows for consistency, because foobar { 'example': param = undef } should not express a different resource state than does Foobar['example'] { param = undef } Moreover, my gut feeling is that having the undef bind to the actual parameter instead of being declaration metasyntax implies a need for users to have more knowledge of the details of the definition's (or class's) implementation than is reasonable. Though users may indeed have such information in some cases, that still doesn't sit well with me. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

It is ok to deliver the executeables, since the code running on the target which builds the actual foo.conf out of the contents of foo/conf.d takes care of this, but it needs the mode for doing so. This mechanism is in use inside a Debian package, and I would like to be of least surprise for the casual user, so I'd like to keep this scheme albeit puppet would be able to generate a monolithic configuration itself. Puppet seems to always reset the access bits for others, so 644 mutates to 640 on the target system. I cannot say whether this is deliberate configuration of the people running the puppet master or whether this is a feature of puppet. Is this a feature of puppet? If yes, is there a possibility to have puppet 2.7.18 ship the files with the mode given to them in the modules/foo/client/etc/foo/conf.d directory on the Master?

[Puppet Users] inheritance failure: duplicate declaration error
Hello list. I've the following parent class: class munin::client { ... munin::client::plugin { postfix_mailqueue: name = postfix_mailqueue, enable = false } } And the following inherited class: class munin::client::plugins::postfix inherits munin::client { munin::client::plugin { postfix_mailqueue: name = postfix_mailqueue, source = postfix_mailqueue, enable = true } } munin::client::plugin is a custom type, allowing to easily enable/disable munin plugins, according to the following definition: define munin::client::plugin($name, $source, $enable=true) { case $enable { true: { file { ${name}_link: path= $destdir/$name, ensure = link, target = $sourcedir/$source, } } false: { file { ${name}_link: path= $destdir/$name, ensure = absent, } } } } According to my understanding of how inheritance works, it should allow to easily redefine default behaviour in some specific nodes by just adding munin::client::plugins::postfix class in addition to munin::client, inherited through default node definition. However, it fails with the following error message: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate declaration: Munin::Client::Plugin[postfix_mailqueue] is already declared in file /var/lib/puppet/devrousse/modules/munin/manifests/client.pp at line 135; cannot redeclare at /var/lib/puppet/devrousse/modules/munin/manifests/client/plugins/postfix.pp:11 on node dev-zimbra.inria.fr I originally tought it was the double inclusion of both the base and the derivated class that was causing the issue, so I attempted to remove the base classe for the default node definition, so as to only include the derivated one: same result :( So, what is the generic design pattern for including default classes in default node definition, while still allowing to override them in specific nodes ? -- BOFH excuse #389: /dev/clue was linked to /dev/null -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] storeconfigs: are there any benefits giving a client access to the dabase?
A coworker and me are currently trying out puppet (2.7). We enabled storeconfigs on client and server. The client has been given access to the mysql-db that the puppet-master uses for storeconfigs. The client does not have any manifests on its local disk. If we run 'puppet agent' on this client, it tells us that it is connecting to the database. With my limited understanding of the puppet workflow, I was thinking this database-connection would actually do nothing, but I couldn't find any documentation to back this. Does the puppetmaster compile a catalog _including_ data from the mysql-db and push it to the client? Or does the puppetmaster just tell the client: fetch _this_ from the database? Is there any benefit from giving the client access to the mysql-db on the puppet-master? Am I missing something that is obvious to everybody but me?

Re: [Puppet Users] Why agent report is so slow?
The agent builds up an in-memory report no matter what; you can't avoid that. You could write a null report terminus that responds to save by simply discarding the data, though.

[Puppet Users] Right approach to Windows installers
Hi Puppeteers, I hope I can get you advice about the best way to approach using MSIs and other installers on Windows. Currently I am downloading Windows installers from the puppet master with the puppet:// syntax and the file type into a temporary directory c:\puppet_temp with subdirectories where necessary. Then after running the installers witht the package type, I was hoping to remove them with the tidy type. Is this the right approach, or should we be planning to host our installers in a Windows-based file server and using running the installers with a UNC path? Will this be a future feature? Assuming the temp directory approach is correct, could I get your advice on the most lightweight way to copy the files, since I can't use the checksum none setting, and I don't need to check the files are present on each run, I plan to remove them after the package is installed correctly.

[Puppet Users] Need more information
On this particular link http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/variables.html#variables I am a bit confused about the following two statement. Could someone explain to me as to what is this about, with a simple example ? Every variable has a short local name and a long fully-qualified name. Fully qualified variables look like $scope::variable. Top scope variables are the same, but their scope is nameless. (For example: $::top_scope_variable.) If you reference a variable with its short name and it isn’t present in the local scope, Puppet will also check the top scope;1http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/variables.html#fn:dynamicthis means you can almost always refer to global variables with just their short names. -- Regards, Balasubramaniam Natarajan www.etutorshop.com/moodle/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

That's a fair statement; it's been brought up around the office.

[Puppet Users] puppet-dashboad fileviewer
I recently install dashboard (1.2.10) on my puppet master (2.7.19 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). I setup the filebucket/viewer as per http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/configuring.html#enabling-the-filebucket-viewer. The md5sums are now clickable links, but when I click them I just get a screen that says input/output error and in the logs for dashboard I see: Processing FilesController#show (for 172.16.36.71 at 2012-09-17 14:50:28) [GET] Parameters: {action=show, controller=files, file=86aaee758e9f530be2ba5cc7a3a7d147} Completed in 1ms (View: 0, DB: 0) | 500 Internal Server Error [http:///files/show?file=86aaee758e9f530be2ba5cc7a3a7d147] My question is, how can I enable debug type logging for dashboard, and what, if any, additional steps are needed beyond the linked directions? (such as changes to auth.conf or perhaps permissions needed on directories in /var/lib/puppet etc).

Re: [Puppet Users] storeconfigs: are there any benefits giving a client access to the dabase?

Since catalog compilation is normally puppet master's responsibility, the client have no reason to interact with the database directly. Is there any benefit from giving the client access to the mysql-db on the puppet-master? Am I missing something that is obvious to everybody but me? Enabling storeconfigs on the client supports exported/collect resource via puppet apply, but that is a fairly unusual use case. Thank you for your reply! Just to double-check if I understand this correctly: Enabling the storeconfigs on the client *and* allow it to access the mysql-db is *only* useful if - I distribute my manifest via rsync or git or a puppet file resource. - and run 'puppet apply somemanifest' by a cronjob on the client? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Systems Provisioning
Similar setup here: pxe boot, etc. but we keep a pxe booted sparse base image available to clone. And use a script to to do the clone so that we can provision more quickly (saves us the pxe boot time). The script also interacts with puppet dashboard to set the machine role. We can provision a new machine in less than 4 minutes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Yes, and you depend on export/collect resources in the manifests. Nan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Run Stages for Particular Modules
Hi I just tried reading the .dot files today into a graphing application and I found that very useful in visualising the graph of resources that is produced by a run on the agent. Good luck. It's not procedural, but declarative, hence a visual graph let's a person picture it better IMHO. http://bitfieldconsulting.com/puppet-dependency-graphs cheers, Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Run Stages for Particular Modules
Thanks for the replies John and Al. I've spent some time re-designing my module. It's now a few separate modules that use smaller chains and is far more readable.

Read here for usage recommendations (and limitations): http://docs.puppetlabs.com/**puppet/2.7/reference/lang_run_**stages.htmlhttp://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_run_stages.html You can more easily manage relationships inside a class (all the mysql steps can be managed inside the same mysql module) and maybe attributes like require or before can result easier to manage than chains, in this case. +1 Indeed, there is nothing you can do with stages that you cannot also accomplish with ordinary resource relationships. Stages basically allow you to define a lot of relationships in a simple, compact way, but for ordering small numbers or resources that all know about each other they cost a lot more than ordinary relationships.

Re: [Puppet Users] Why agent report is so slow?
Sometimes we use puppet agent --test --environment xxx to debug puppet configuration. The 2 minutes and more execution time is unacceptable. As agent output is enough, we do not need the report that time. This is why i want to disable the reports. On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 11:44 PM, Daniel Pittman dan...@puppetlabs.comwrote: The agent builds up an in-memory report no matter what; you can't avoid that. You could write a null report terminus that responds to save by simply discarding the data, though. That would remove the cost of YAML serialization. I guess the key question, though, is why you feel you need this? On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 12:14 AM, flex frostyn...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you, Daniel. Then how can we make puppet not generate the reports? I try to add 'report=false', but seems no effect.

We do have some recursive file copies and hundreds of other resources. So we'd better decrease the resources numbers? Well, that would be the only short term path to making report output faster - but, in general, if you are managing it you probably need to be managing it. :) -- Daniel Pittman ⎋ 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.
