[Puppet Users] Retiring information from collections
Hi, The docs on collections do not mention how information is "retired" from the puppetmaster (see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/exported_resources.html). To use the example in the above doc, suppose host "foo" is added. We setup a collector to monitor it through nagios on running on host "bar". We now retire host "foo". Nagios keeps complaining about "foo" being down. How do I "zero out" the information about "foo"? -- maarten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Static IP assignment
I'm currently experimenting with an option added in vSphere 5 that has promise: assuming your VM Template has VMware Tools preinstalled you can use the Perl API to run programs directly in the resulting VM. Assuming you have API access (vSphere or commercially licensed ESXi have this, the free version doesn't) you can address the VM by name once it's started and run whatever programs you like. No need for network, etc. See: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/automating-new-integrated-vixguest.html On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 8:19 AM, GordonJB wrote: > OK, that all makes sense, thanks for the help! > > On Wednesday, 17 October 2012 16:02:55 UTC+1, Matthew Burgess wrote: >> >> On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 3:49 PM, GordonJB wrote: >> > So I take it that when the new VM announces itself to the network, it >> > will >> > go off to the DHCP server and pick a static IP if there is one defined >> > already for it's MAC address in a config file somewhere? >> >> Yes, that's correct.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: puppet freezes on FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE
Hi,
I don't know if this issue is still actual... but I'm suffering the same
thing.
My puppet agent hangs for ~1 Minute with these messages:

These lines repeat about 6000 times...
Then the agent continues with:

Have anybody any idea?
One thing: It's definitely not the leap-second bug, the machine was born
afterwards ;-)

Yes, that's correct. You can also set up a generic pool of addresses that a VM may get one from if you don't know its MAC address, but then you're not guaranteed to get the same IP address every time. The problem I encountered with VMWare VMs was that the MAC address wasn't generated until the VM was first powered on, so configuring DHCP ahead of time wasn't possible. As we didn't have any automated provisioning set up, the process was to do an initial boot and interrupt the boot process fairly quickly and power the VM off. Then I'd grab the MAC address from VSphere and pop it into the DHCP server's config. > Is there a way to have a MAC address/IP pairing generated if one does not > exist? I think the approach I'd take with this is to have a fairly small pool of addresses used for temporary IPs while a box is being provisioned. Once the box is up, you could have another puppet module that would figure out, using some other policy (potentially as simple as doing a DNS lookup on your VM's hostname), what the IP address of the box should be, find the MAC address of the NIC (exposed by facter), then put that in to the DHCP server's config. Automated provisioning solutions such as Foreman or Razor (http://puppetlabs.com/blog/puppet-razor-module/) may have better/other ways of doing it, but that would be my initial approach. That Razor page also links to Puppetlabs' own DHCP module (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-dhcp), so I'd be prone to try that for your DHCP config needs first, before looking at modules on the Forge.

Re: [Puppet Users] dynamic data in hiera
thx! that works!
However, in testing just now I bumped against something strange. When I add
%{$nodeID} (which I should not), the CPU usage of the puppet master shoots
to 100% and stays there. The client will eventually time out (execution
expired) and the puppet master keeps burning CPU cycles. This is a test
setup up, so no other nodes are connected but one and it is quite
reproducable on this setup. Is this a known issue?

You could use Foreman, as it can manage DHCP for you, but if you're not planning to use any of its other features, its probably a bit of an overkill. All you need is a DHCP server, where you'd configure your range of static IP addresses that you want your VMs to sit in, and presumably a list of MAC address to IP address mappings. There are a number of modules on the puppet forge (http://forge.puppetlabs.com/) concerning DHCP that you could either make use of directly, or use as inspiration for your own.

[Puppet Users] dynamic data in hiera
Hi list,
I wondered if I could include 'dynamic' data inside a hiera yaml file. I
would like to be able to add variables in scope of the resource which
performs a hiera call. So e.g.
in hiera yaml:
address: "192.168.1.#{nodeID}"
in puppet
node test {
$nodeID = 5
$ip=hiera(address)
}
Is such thing possible and if so what is the correct syntax?
thanks
Peter

[Puppet Users] Static IP assignment
I have a server which we're running a lot of VM's on, including a Puppet master and various nodes under puppet management. When we add new VM's with VSphere, the new nodes have dynamic IP's. What we're looking to do is have each VM have a static IP and have these automatically assigned from a pool of addresses. I am looking in to Puppet to do this (so i.e. when we add a new puppet node, it is given a static IP address). Is this something that's possible? If so, how would I go about it? I looked into Foreman, but honestly I could never quite figure out if it was what I needed, or get it set up on a server.
