[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet and installing packages from source

[magic . rh]

I understand exactly what source packages do, if it makes it easier for you 
I'll call them tar.gz files.
Also, I don't find your comparison valid, as the result of package 
installation be it yum or ./configure  make  make install is the same: 
software being installed.

My meaning is that compiling from source will always be with us, and it's 
the prominent way of releasing new software.

Thanks,

 Hello Everyone,

 I'm looking for a way to install packages from source via puppet, I was 
 able to locate maybe 5 posts on this subject which is very strange, as I 
 would expect people to still use ./configure with their own customized 
 options.
 For example, I need to compile Curl with c-ares support, for that I need 
 to set an option for ./configure but can't find a way to do it.

 Here's the manifest, it works up to the point of configure which fails:

 file { /usr/local/src: ensure = directory }
 file { /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1.tar.gz:
 source = puppet:///modules/web_dev/c-ares-1.9.1.tar.gz,
 alias = ares-source-tgz,
 before = Exec[untar-ares-source]
 }

 exec { tar xzf /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1.tar.gz:
 cwd = /usr/local/src,
 path = /bin,
 creates = /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1,
 alias = untar-ares-source,
 subscribe = File[ares-source-tgz]
 }

 exec { configure:
 command = ./configure,
 cwd = /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1,
 path = /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1,
 require = Exec[untar-ares-source],
 creates = /usr/local/src/c-ares-1.9.1/config.h,
 }

 The ERROR:

 Subject: [Puppet Users] Re: Puppet and installing packages from source
 
 I understand exactly what source packages do, if it makes it easier for you
 I'll call them tar.gz files.
 Also, I don't find your comparison valid, as the result of package
 installation be it yum or ./configure  make  make install is the same:
 software being installed.

it's not really though is it? the make install route drops a bunch of files
down, just tossing it out there with no regard for what comes before or after

the yum package apart from putting files on disks also does to name just a few:

 - manages the serving, locating and transferring of the package onto your OS
   for you, this is important because built into this process is things like
   check summing, mirroring including fastest mirror determination, local 
   caches and so forth.  You get some of this of course with the puppet file
   server like the checksums but Puppet isnt really great at it.

 - manage dependencies: makes sure you have all the pre-determined libraries
   you need for the software to function.  the ./configure method will adjust
   the software based on the requirements met - you might find that on one 
   machine your ./configure results in a tool minus a key feature while on
   the others it has it due to a simple ordering problem with when you deliver
   devel libraries

 - manage conflicts: if a OS update in the future comes with a file that might
   conflict with your ./configure build you'll be none the wiser, it'll just be
   overridden.  Packages won't do this, it'll register a conflict and refuse to
   install thus surfacing this behavior change and potential problem in a mature
   way

 - manage file lists: every file the package installs are registered and tracked
   and you can later compare them for changes. or when you upgrade to the next
   version orphaned files are detected and removed, config files are not blindly
   overwritten but backed up and possibly not even replaced. you can later 
safely
   uninstall it based on this database

 - handles things like integration with the OS init, rc, pam, logging and other
   subsystems

 - registers the new capability for other packages to be able to rely on it

 - provide many CLI tools to query, validate and generally manage the software 
you
   have on your system in a single consistent way that means you never need to 
   track - as a user or as an automation system - things like different 
configure
   flags depending on the type of software.  It's all standardised and unified 
into
   a single coherent system.

All in a way that combines with how your OS vendor chose to design their OS so 
you
know that by working with their approach you'll end up with a better functioning
whole in the end

Puppet is designed to use the facilities provided by your package manager, for 
example
the package resource has the ability to install, uninstall and upgrade a package
and it needs the ability to query if a package is installed.  By using these
facilities it provides a idempotent means of managing the full life cycle of 
your
software in a mature way. Because your tgz files do not do any of the above 
things
puppet is simply not capable of providing a solid management experience of 
software
delivered in such a manner - the key information sources and standardised 
management
just does not exist for tgz files as they do for true packages.

The configure method does the absolute minimal, it just puts files down in some
non deterministic location. Worse it requires you to know and manage a wide 
range
of different configure flags and have appropriate error handling for every 
possible
scenario wedged awkwardly into some exec statements. This is not package 
management,
they are not packages. This is just wholesale creation of technical debt.

 My meaning is that compiling from source will always be with us, and it's
 the prominent way of releasing new software.

We'll always be compiling software as you say, it's how you manage the 
compilation
and delivery of the software that changes. fpm is no harder to use than the tar 
command
and while it does not provide all of these benefits it goes a long way to 
improving
what happens to your software once its compiled.

 
 Thanks,
 Magic.

Re: [Puppet Users] Have Puppet *call* REST APIs

[Craig Dunn]

I hope this is just not my Google-fu lacking, but can you configure 
Puppet modules to make REST API calls inherently with Puppet?  I'm 
talking about 3rd party REST APIs, not Puppet's API.  I'm thinking of 
rolling my own plugin, but wondered if I'm missing something here.


Can you provide a bit more information on what you're trying to do? If 
are you are trying to look up a value from a REST API call you could use 
Hiera with the http backend.  Or are you trying to get Puppet to post 
data to a REST API when it runs?  And if so do you want this to happen 
on the agent when the resource gets applied, or on the server during 
catalog compilation in the form of a function? Whether or not you are 
doing anything with the data returned from your call will make a 
difference here.

[lalit jangra]

Hi,

I have alfresco installed on my puppet master  try to clone it using 
puppet console to puppet agent nodes but under 'live management' link, i 
can not see any of package/group/user/host resources named similar to 
alfresco even though i can see postgres package resource but no

[Puppet Users] Module for tuned-adm

[Romain Pelisse]

Hi all,

tuned-adm module: https://github.com/rpelisse/puppet-tuned

I'm using 
tuned-admhttps://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Power_Management_Guide/tuned-adm.htmlto
tune the kernel of the target system according to a profile. I first
used exec{} to trigger the profile setting but lead to the exec{} being ran
at every Puppet run which I found, at beast, inelegant. I end up doing this
module to more and less properly implement the exists? method. The module
implementation is rather rudimentory but still nice to have - if you need
it.

(Note: i've googled a bit before doing that and ran into a couple of
existing Puppet module or code for tuned-adm but they were either using
exec() internally or just installing the packages and nothing more).

(Final note: Before XMas, I've already submitted a completely useless
module extension to handle DNS Name, as it turned out Puppet supports this
out of the box, so I hope this module proposal will be a tidbit more useful
! :) )

[Puppet Users] Re: Internal server error

[earthgecko]

Hi Mamta

This is not really a puppet issue, you have no space left on the device.

What puppet master files can you delete, well reports would be one, if you 
have them enabled and if you wanted to.  They normally reside:

/var/lib/puppet/reports/node/*.yaml

However you may want the data in the future for dashboard or something, so 
archiving them somewhere may be better.

If you have run out of disk space then there are all the usual suspects to 
consider and check that you do not have a lot unexepcted data in:

/tmp/
/var/log/
/var/cache/

However, if you find that you actually seem to have disk space e.g. df -h 
does not report Use% 100% then check you have not run out of inodes

df -i

100% use of inodes will also report No space left on the device.

Which should really report Too many files on the device or No inodes left 
on the device

Or you need a bigger boat :)

When all the required features of a source build  install environment are 
met, like uninstalling, upgrading, listing, you end up with a new type of 
package provider. As you don't want a split between OS-provided software 
(libraries your source file depends on), it's easier to use the provider 
your OS comes with.

The requirements for building source are often many. You'll need a compiler 
and a toolchain, at least. Many don't want all of these tools installed on 
their (virtual) production servers, because they consume space, require 
updates, and because they facilitate exploits. Less software means less 
work and less risk. 

Building software on a separate system and deploying the resulting binaries 
and documentation to production systems is one step up from compiling on 
your production systems.

Many of us used to compile from source earlier in our careers, so don't 
asume we don't know about anything but ready made packages ;-)

Now for a quick hack to address your problem:

Why don't you try to do a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --specialopts  
make  make install on a clean system and create a tar file of /usr/local/ 
afterwards?  Missing dependencies can be met by installing OS packages on 
your test system. The installation on your target system can be a hack like 
this:

# dependencies
package { [ dep1, dep2, dep3, ]: ensure = installed, }

file { /var/tmp/curl-custom-version.tar.gz:
  ensure = file,
  source = puppet:///module/curl-custom-version.tar.gz,
  notify = Exec[unpackcurl],
}

exec { unpackcurl: 
  command = tar -C /usr/local -xzf /var/tmp/curl-custom-version.tar.gz,
  creates = /usr/local/bin/curl,
  path = /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin,
  logoutput = true,
  refreshonly = false,
}

If possible, use packages, but if you can't meet your deadline this way, 
try the above (and discover the wonderful world of packaging anyway at a 
later time).

Best,

Hans

We make a habit of only depending on individual resources (File etc.)

As Denmat implied, this looks like a problem at your master.  It recognizes 
the client, but serves up an empty catalog.  That probably means that the 
node block you think will match the client does not in fact match it, but 
there are other possibilities.

Re: [Puppet Users] Have Puppet *call* REST APIs

[Rob Johnson]

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply.

I'm looking to post requests to a server that configures properties of that 
server after standing it up.  So, I would envision sending requests from 
puppet master in this case to one server.

It would happen likely after a bunch of other installations occurred first 
(that's standard RPM deployment).  So it's:

1) Install a bunch of software on numerous machines including server 
process on a specific machine. (simplified, there's more config I have to 
do here)
2) Start up the master server.
3) Configure the master server via REST API Posts.  I mainly need to check 
the replies for return status I think.  Don't need to process the requests 
too much.

Does that make sense?  I probably have to build some custom plugins or 
something to do this right?  I was thinking about exec calls to curl or 
something, but that seems a little kludgy.

Thanks for any advice, it's much appreciated!
Rob

[Puppet Users] Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

[Andy Taylor]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a module for haproxy which fetches all the 
configuration data from Hiera to populate the haproxy config file. I've run 
into a number of issues though when I try to use hashes. Ideally, I want to 
use something like this:

haproxy_listeners :
 cluster1 :
  ip : '192.168.0.2'
  port : '80'
  servers : 
   server1 :
ip : '192.168.0.3'
port : '8080'

So a hash of clusters with each cluster containing a nested hash of 
servers. Is this possible with Hiera/ERB? It's easy enough to iterate over 
the first hash, but I can't work out how to extract the contents of the 
nested hash. Or I might just be approaching this in entirely the wrong 
way... Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

 I resolved the problem  with  sudo in the command syntax .  

[………...]
class updateso  {

schedule{ weekly:
range = 14 - 16,
repeat = 2,
 }

exec { sudo yum --exclude=drbd* --exclude=kernel* --exclude=mysql* 
--exclude=php* update -y:
user = root,
 #  password_required = true,
schedule = weekly,
path = /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin,
}

}
[]


Thanks a lot!!

 That looks perfectly normal to me.  Your yum update command is not 
 completing successfully.  That's probably not Puppet's fault. Run the same 
 command manually to see yum's explanation of the problem, but I'd bet it's a 
 depsolving failure arising from your package exclusions.

 Hi,
 Although I've never used it, this does sound like a task for the 
 auditing functionality that was added into Puppet 2.6.
 Some information about it can be found here: 
 http://puppetlabs.com/blog/all-about-auditing-with-puppet/

 You may also find the Puppet enterprise documentation on audit and 
 compliance of some use, as it uses the audit metaparams to achieve this 
 functionality.
 http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/2.7/compliance_basics.html

 From what I understand, you can build your own 
 auditing/reporting/compliance tool using your existing puppet framework and 
 a modified report processor that fits your needs.

 Hope this helps.

Re: [Puppet Users] How to clone alfresco on puppet agents?

[Ryan Coleman]

Hello,

In the future, you may want to pose questions like this to the PE-Users
list as live management is a Puppet Enterprise feature. There are likely
more people on that list who can directly help with those kinds of
questions.

On the machine alfresco is installed on, can you inspect the current state
of the package your're looking for with `puppet resource package
package-name`? If you don't know it, you can ask for the state of all
packages on the system and pipe it through grep like `puppet resource
package | grep foo`. You can replace package with user, group or whatever
else you're looking for.

Hopefully that gets you to the point where you're absolutely sure what the
title is of the resource you want to manage. Try taking that to live
management and see if it's just a matter of having the name wrong.

HTH,

--Ryan

[Puppet Users] ParsedFile Multi-line...

[Gavin Williams]

Afternoon all, 

I'm currently working on adding oranfstab support to Puppet-Oracle 
(https://github.com/stschulte/puppet-oracle). 

However I'm struggling to get my head around how I can get Puppet 
parsedfile to work with multi-line configurations... 

An example oranfstab configuration block is: 
server: stgasm === NFS server Host name
path: 10.177.52.158 --- First path to NFS server ie NFS server NIC
local: 10.177.52.151 --- First client-side NIC
path: 10.177.52.159 --- Second path to NFS server ie NFS server NIC (For 
load balance purpose)
local: 10.177.52.151 --- Second client-side NIC (For load balance purpose)
export: /oraclenfs mount: /oradata1

'path' and 'local' are optional, but can be specified multiple times 
aswell... 
The final 'export' line is required, and can be provided multiple times for 
multiple mount points.. 

So as you can see, there's a fair amount of variability in the file 
format... 

It's also then possible to have multiple 'server/path/local/export' blocks, 
for example with different filers... 

Any ideas on where I could begin? Is parsedfile right for the job, or am I 
better looking elsewhere?

Thank you in advance for any responses. 

Regards
Gavin

Re: [Puppet Users] Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

[Wolf Noble]

not sure if this is the best way to do this, but, taking from a different 
module I have:


hiera yaml:

snmp_filesystems:
  root: {
mountpoint:  '/',
threshold:   '10%'
  }
snmp_collector:
  test: {
ip:'1.2.3.4',
group: 'readonly',
community: 'somecommunity'
  }

class:

class snmp::params(
filesystems = hiera(snmp_filesystems, undef),
collector = hiera(snmp_collector, undef)
{
#…
}

template:

%
  collector = scope.lookupvar('snmp::params::collector')
  filesystems = scope.lookupvar('snmp::params::filesystems')
-%

% collector.each_pair do |key, hash| -%
group  %=hash['group']-%  v2c  %=key%
%end-%

# Filesystem monitoring enabled
% filesystems.each_pair do |key, hash| -%
# %=key%
disk %=hash['mountpoint']-%  %=hash['threshold']%
%end-%




does that help at all?

[Puppet Users] Re: Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

[Gavin Williams]

I'm with Andy on this one... I'm doing something very similar with my 
NetApp volume provider (https://github.com/fatmcgav/fatmcgav-netapp/). 

I've created a define with the following contents:
define util::netapp::volume (
$ensure = present,
$size,
$aggr = 'aggr1',
$snapresv = 0,
$autoincrement = true,
$snapschedule = {minutes = 0, hours = 0, days = 0, weeks 
= 0}
) {

netapp_notify {volume_define_${name}:
message = Processing Volume ${name},
}
-
netapp_volume { v_${name}:
ensure = $ensure,
initsize = $size,
aggregate = $aggr,
spaceres = none,
snapreserve = $snapresv,
autoincrement = $autoincrement,
options = {'convert_ucode' = 'on', 'no_atime_update' = 
'on', 'try_first' = 'volume_grow'},
snapschedule = $snapschedule
}
-
netapp_qtree { q_${name}:
ensure = $ensure,
volume = v_${name}
}
-
netapp_export { /vol/v_${name}/q_${name}:
ensure = $ensure,
persistent = true
}

}

I've added a default hash to 'snapschedule' in the options list, but that 
can be over-ridden from the Hiera data. 

Then use the following to pull the data from hiera and call the define:
create_resources( util::netapp::volume, hiera('volumes') )

'Volumes' in hiera yaml looks like:
volumes:
 vol1:
  ensure: present
  size: '500m'
 vol2:
  ensure: present
  size: '20g'
  snapschedule:
   minutes: 0
   hours: 36
   days: 0
   weeks: 0

You can also use the 'hiera' command to test your yaml structure:
$ hiera -c hiera.yaml volumes clientcert=act-star-nactl01
{vol1={ensure=present, size=500m}, 
vol2={ensure=present, size=20g, snapschedule={days=0, 
weeks=0, hours=36, minutes=0}}}

As you can see from the above output, *snapschedule* for *vol2* is a nested 
hash. This assumes that your resource provider can support hashes on the 
relevant param/property ;)

[Puppet Users] Re: Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

[Andy Taylor]

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I did consider using create_resource, but 
don't see how I can when I'm trying to apply this Hiera data to a single 
file. To expand on my initial post, what I need to do is create multiple 
config blocks within one file resource. So this Hiera data:

haproxy_listeners :
 cluster1 :
  ip : '192.168.0.2'
  port : '80'
  servers : 
   server1 :
ip : '192.168.0.3'
port : '8080'
   server2 :
ip : '192.168.0.4'
port : '8080'
 cluster2 :
  ip : '192.168.0.5'
  port : '80'
  servers :
   server3
 ip : '192.168.0.6'
 port : '8080'
   server4
 ip : '192.168.0.7'
 port : '8080'

will result in this being generated in the haproxy config file:

listen cluster1 192.168.0.2:80
   server server1 192.168.0.3:8080
   server server2 192.168.0.4:8080

listen cluster2 192.168.0.5:80
   server server3 192.168.0.6:8080
   server server4 192.168.0.7:8080

So I don't see how create_resources can handle this, as that's for creating 
multiple Puppet resources, as opposed to multiple blocks within a single 
file. The only alternative I can think of at the moment is using 
create_resources with a define which utilizes Augeas, but I don't know how 
well that will work.

Thanks,

Andy

 nested hash. Or I might just be approaching this in entirely the wrong

 I haven't used the function myself, but this looks like it would be a 
 good case for a define + create_resources(), which I think is part of 
 stdlib. You might need to restructure the hashes slightly, but I think that 
 will be the best approach.

Re: [Puppet Users] How to clone alfresco on puppet agents?

[Ken Barber]

I don't think Alfresco is shipped as a formal OS package. It's just a
tarball with an installer script last time I looked, I remember some
third-party efforts back in the 2.x days but nothing formal from the
company itself (at least not when I worked on Alfresco). Live
management only deals with proper OS packages, like RPM's and Deb's.

I would double check Alfresco is an actual package

 Can anyone let me know how to clone the same?

RE: [Puppet Users] Re: Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

[Steven Nemetz]

I'm using stdlib to help with this $listeners = hiera('haproxy_listeners', 
undef)$listener_keys = keys($listeners) then pass $listener_keys to a define to 
create all the instances
The entre hash is in memory ($listeners) and the define will have the key it is 
working on ($name)So you can access anything in the data structure to build 
your resources.

Subject: [Puppet Users] Re: Hiera hashes and arrays in ERB templates

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I did consider using create_resource, but 
don't see how I can when I'm trying to apply this Hiera data to a single file. 
To expand on my initial post, what I need to do is create multiple config 
blocks within one file resource. So this Hiera data:
haproxy_listeners : cluster1 :  ip : '192.168.0.2'  port : '80'  servers :
server1 :ip : '192.168.0.3'port : '8080'   server2 :ip : 
'192.168.0.4'port : '8080' cluster2 :  ip : '192.168.0.5'  port : '80'  
servers :   server3 ip : '192.168.0.6' port : '8080'   server4 
ip : '192.168.0.7' port : '8080'
will result in this being generated in the haproxy config file:
listen cluster1 192.168.0.2:80   server server1 192.168.0.3:8080   
server server2 192.168.0.4:8080
listen cluster2 192.168.0.5:80   server server3 192.168.0.6:8080   
server server4 192.168.0.7:8080
So I don't see how create_resources can handle this, as that's for creating 
multiple Puppet resources, as opposed to multiple blocks within a single file. 
The only alternative I can think of at the moment is using create_resources 
with a define which utilizes Augeas, but I don't know how well that will work.
Thanks,
Andy

ensure = $ensure,
volume = v_${name}
}
-
netapp_export { /vol/v_${name}/q_${name}:
ensure = $ensure,
persistent = true
}

}

I've added a default hash to 'snapschedule' in the options list, but that can 
be over-ridden from the Hiera data. 

Then use the following to pull the data from hiera and call the define:
create_resources( util::netapp::volume, hiera('volumes') )

'Volumes' in hiera yaml looks like:
volumes:
 vol1:
  ensure: present
  size: '500m'
 vol2:
  ensure: present
  size: '20g'
  snapschedule:
   minutes: 0
   hours: 36
   days: 0
   weeks: 0

You can also use the 'hiera' command to test your yaml structure:
$ hiera -c hiera.yaml volumes clientcert=act-star-nactl01
{vol1={ensure=present, size=500m}, vol2={ensure=present, 
size=20g, snapschedule={days=0, weeks=0, hours=36, 
minutes=0}}}

As you can see from the above output, snapschedule for vol2 is a nested hash. 
This assumes that your resource provider can support hashes on the relevant 
param/property ;)

[Puppet Users] How to manage one line in a file by puppet

[Andreas Hilboll]

Hi,

I want to write a puppet module for xen on Debian. This module will need
to manage one line in the file /etc/default/grub, namely the line
starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN=. Currently I want to leave the rest of
the file untouched.

Which would be the best way to do this?

I see two options:

a) Do some `sed` magic on the file in a `exec` call. Downside: puppet
won't notice when the line gets manually changed.

b) Have some support for sections inside files, like this:

[... part of file untouched by puppet ...]
###
# BEGIN MANAGED BY PUPPET: IDENTIFIEROFPUPPETRESOURCE
###
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN='my options'
###
# END MANAGED BY PUPPET: IDENTIFIEROFPUPPETRESOURCE
###
[... rest of file untouched by puppet ...]

Is there support for something like this?

Cheers, Andreas.

I'm doing this with the augeas piece like so:

augeas { 'make_grub_verbose':
  context = '/files/etc/grub.conf',
  changes = [
'rm hiddenmenu',
'rm splashimage',
 ],
   }

You should be able to use those features as you like.

Thanks guys, you're amazing :) While augeas looks like a powerful tool,

 Hi,

 I'm trying to build a module for haproxy which fetches all the 
 configuration data from Hiera to populate the haproxy config file. I've run 
 into a number of issues though when I try to use hashes. Ideally, I want to 
 use something like this:

 haproxy_listeners :
  cluster1 :
   ip : '192.168.0.2'
   port : '80'
   servers : 
server1 :
 ip : '192.168.0.3'
 port : '8080'

 So a hash of clusters with each cluster containing a nested hash of 
 servers. Is this possible with Hiera/ERB? It's easy enough to iterate over 
 the first hash, but I can't work out how to extract the contents of the 
 nested hash. Or I might just be approaching this in entirely the wrong 
 way... Any help would be much appreciated.


The data can be expressed in YAML, loaded into a Puppet variable via Hiera, 
and processed in an ERB template to construct your file.  In other words, 
yes, it is possible.

May I ask, however, what the advantage is to encoding the data in YAML and 
then transcoding it into the haproxy configuration language?  I mean, if 
you also use bits and pieces of that object elsewhere in your manifests 
then perhaps it makes sense, but if all you want to do with it is generate 
the config file then I don't see the point.  Why not just serve up the 
config as a static or mostly-static file?

Leaving aside the question of merits of your design,
   
   - Note that your example data are a quadruply-nested hash, not just a 
   doubly-nested one as you say.  You have a hash of clusters, each of which 
   is a hash itself and contains a third hash, each of whose values is *
   another* hash.
   - The same Ruby mechanisms that allow your template to iterate and 
   otherwise inspect the outer hash also work for the inner ones.
   - Perhaps, though, you are tripping over the fact that the values in 
   your outer hash are of uniform type and meaning, whereas the values in the 
   next-level hash are of varying type and meaning.  You probably don't 
   actually want to iterate the second-level hash; instead, you want to 
   retrieve specific values from it by key.

So, you might do something of this general form (not intended to resemble 
an actual haproxy configuration file):

haproxy.conf.erb:

% @clusters.each_pair | cluster, properties | { -%
cluster name=%= cluster %
  ip=%= properties['ip'] %
  port=%= properties['port'] %
  
%   properties['servers'].each_pair | server, server_props | { -%
  server name=%= server %
ip=%= server_props['ip'] %
port=%= server_props['port'] %
/
%   } -%
/cluster
% } -%


Once corrected for the inevitable typos, that should produce output similar 
to
cluster name=cluster1
  ip=192.168.0.2
  port=80
  
  server name=server1
ip=192.168.0.3
port=8080
/
/cluster

 Can anyone make sense of the output below?  I am still experiencing this

 Hi Josh!

 Making the changes and running the command I got the following... (I made 
 the change in C:\Program Files (x86)\Puppet 
 Labs\Puppet\facter\lib\facter\util\ as that was the only resolution.rb I 
 could find)  We do not use cygwin or msys on this system.
