[Puppet Users] Problem running 3.2.1 master with parser=future
First off, I was under the impression from what I have been able to find
about the future parser that old manifests should remain working. If there
are backwards incompatibilities I missed, then please ignore this (and
point me to where they are mentioned, please).
I have reduced my problem to a very simple and basic setup.
If I leave out the line parser=future from my [main] section in
puppet.conf on my master (hostname 'dua'), the following setup works:
in nodes/dua.pp
-
node 'dua' inherits 'sistemdasar' {}
in nodes/sistemdasar.pp
node 'sistemdasar' {
package { 'screen':
ensure = latest,
}
}
And in my debug output I also see that screen is checked to be the latest
version.
When I insert the line parser=future in my [main] section in puppet.conf
and change nothing else, I get the following error when running 'puppet
agent --test':
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could not find parent resource type 'sistemdasar' of type node in
production at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/dua.pp:1 on node dua
Is this a bug? Wrong expectations? Deprecated syntax (I'm coming back to
puppet after a very long time, and those manifests above are an adaptation
of quite old stuff I had)?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: apt repository appears to have dependency issue with latest release (3.2.1)
Eric, I've not used the puppetlabs-release deb at all. my EC2 hosts have the puppetlabs repo added at bootstrap time, through cloud-init user-data. This is the entire config. #cloud-config manage_etc_hosts: true hostname: hostname fqdn: hostname.example.com apt_sources: - source: deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com $RELEASE main keyid: 4BD6EC30 filename: puppetlabs.list apt_update: true apt_upgrade: true packages: - puppet puppet: conf: agent: server: puppet.example.com certname: %i.hostname.eu-west-1 ...where hostname is set to the, well, desired hostname. This is enough to add the repo, install and configure Puppet and connect to our master, which then takes over. Puppet then configures the server, including taking over management of puppet.conf and puppetlabs.list. To resolve this upgrade issue, I've made two changes. I've modified the cloud-init script to correctly bootstrap new nodes: source: deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com $RELEASE main dependencies Also, I've fixed existing nodes by pushing a similar change through Puppet before attempting the upgrade to 3.2.1.

All of the methods you tried for declaring the needed relationship are
valid and appear correct. I conclude that you have diagnosed the
problem incorrectly.
How should I have diagnosed this? Would have the debug switch helped?
those classes' implementations. I suggest you read the documentation on
that area
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_containment.html)
for information on that problem and and least one possible solution.
That did the trick. Now my code looks like this:
class database ( $serverpackage = 'mariadb' ) {
class { 'database::packages':
serverpackage = $serverpackage,
}
# setup data dirs(should change my.cnf and restart mysql!)
class { 'database::directories':
require = Class['database::packages'],
}
anchor {'db_first':} - Class['database::packages'] - anchor
{'db_last':}
[...]
}
After a handful of testruns it seems to work. I had read the
documentation you mentioned and didn't make the connection. My mistake.
I'm glad you got it working.
In response to your question, when I said you had diagnosed the problem
incorrectly, I meant you had come to an incorrect conclusion, not
necessarily that you had done anything inherently wrong. However, the
--debug switch is definitely your friend when you are trying to figure out
Puppet problems. If you had enabled it on the agent then you might have
seen resources from the several classes being applied in an intermingled
fashion (instead of first all belonging to one class, then all belonging to
another, etc.), which would have been a clearer sign of a containment
problem.
Best,
John

[Puppet Users] Issue with Puppet Packages which are installed multiple times
Hi,
hopefully this hasn't been discussed too often, haven't found anything in
the group:
I'm having some issues when a package gets installed twice ( x86 x64
version).
#system is a RHEL5/x64 system.
*#following manifest:*
[root@kermit ~]# cat install_expect.pp
package { 'expect':
ensure = present,
}
*#ok, let's apply*
[root@kermit ~]# puppet apply install_expect.pp
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[expect]/ensure: created
Notice: Finished catalog run in 14.25 seconds
*#let's see what we've got*
[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect
expect-5.43.0-8.el5
expect-5.43.0-8.el5
*#so we have two versions installed ( in fact it's the x64 and x86 version.
for whatever reason yum installs both ( it's yum, a dry-run with yum
results in the same situation)
#I would not have expected this for expect ( :) ) , but for libs that's
normal on an x64 system.*
*
#ok, lets uninstall expect*
[root@kermit ~]# cat uninstall_expect.pp
package { 'expect':
ensure = absent,
}
[root@kermit ~]# puppet apply uninstall_expect.pp
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[expect]/ensure: removed
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.27 seconds
[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect
expect-5.43.0-8.el5
*#here's my problem - there's still one left.*
*#2nd run:*
[root@kermit ~]# puppet apply uninstall_expect.pp
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[expect]/ensure: removed
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.61 seconds
[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect
[root@kermit ~]#
*#now it's completely absent*
Any Idea how I can avoid multiple runs to completely remove it ( so,
basically what rpm -e --allmatches rpm would do )?
thanks a lot best regards,
Björn

[Puppet Users] Using Puppet to Puppetize Multiple Puppet Masters
How do folks tend to go about puppetizing multiple puppet masters for use in other environments from a central puppet master? Since there are overlapping directories (such as SSL), is it possible to puppetize new puppet servers which will eventually live standalone from an existing puppet master? In our current working environment, I'm just applying catalogs locally, but I'd like to get away from that. Is it as simple as having a different configuration for the [puppet] settings versus the puppet master process settings?

[Puppet Users] Bootstrapping Puppet
Hi folks, I'm mostly following this methodology of bootstrapping puppet/puppetdb/postgres without issue: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb#multiple-node-setup However, our puppet setup also involves OpenLDAP. because we use it to store node configs (variables, however, live in hiera). By doing so, we also setup centralized authentication (ldap auth) and internal DNS (pdns) for our systems alongside it. I'm wondering, from a methodology standpoint, what the best way to go about bootstrapping the multiple server setup in that case would be. Should I bootstrap the puppet/puppetdb/postgres servers with the procedure above out of box, without setting up LDAP, and then use the newly run puppetmaster to puppetize OpenLDAP servers and then, once certificates are signed, the puppetmasters will automatically enable centralized authentication and other bits and pieces on themselves, therefore completing their configuration? Or would it be better to bootstrap the OpenLDAP server as part of the bootstrapping process for puppet itself, and knock it all out at once before any certs are signed and any puppetmaster processes are running? I'm just curious to know what folks tend to do in more complex setups. Thanks! -MJ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Issue with Puppet Packages which are installed multiple times

Hi,
hopefully this hasn't been discussed too often, haven't found anything in
the group:
I'm having some issues when a package gets installed twice ( x86 x64
version).
#system is a RHEL5/x64 system.
*#following manifest:*
[root@kermit ~]# cat install_expect.pp
package { 'expect':

}
*#ok, let's apply*
[root@kermit ~]# puppet apply install_expect.pp
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[expect]/ensure: created

*#let's see what we've got*
[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect
expect-5.43.0-8.el5
expect-5.43.0-8.el5
*#so we have two versions installed ( in fact it's the x64 and x86
version. for whatever reason yum installs both ( it's yum, a dry-run with
yum results in the same situation)
#I would not have expected this for expect ( :) ) , but for libs that's
normal on an x64 system.*
*
#ok, lets uninstall expect*
[root@kermit ~]# cat uninstall_expect.pp

[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect

Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.61 seconds
[root@kermit ~]# rpm -qa|grep expect
[root@kermit ~]#
*#now it's completely absent*
Any Idea how I can avoid multiple runs to completely remove it ( so,
basically what rpm -e --allmatches rpm would do )?
The behavior you are seeing is actually the one noted in the provider
code[1]. I'm not sure why it was implemented this way since removing both
seems to be the correct action. I would open a ticket since this requires a
change to the rpm package provider.
Thanks,

Actually, I am getting no results..

I assume this means that facts are not being stored but, I cannot figure
out why/how to troubleshoot...
FWIW, if you want to find all the facts for a node you can just hit
/v2/nodes/myhost.mydomain.com/facts instead of hitting /v2/resources +
a query. There are a bunch of other routes like this that you may find
nicer to use:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.3/api/query/v2/nodes.html
As for why you got no results, do you see anything in the logs about
replace facts commands? If you aren't seeing any of those, then that
means that your puppetmasters aren't sending over facts, just catalogs. Did
you follow the instructions here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.3/connect_puppet_master.html#edit-routesyaml
That should add the correct settings to routes.yaml that lets the
puppetmaster know to send its facts to puppetdb (you'll need to restart
your puppetmaster for those changes to take effect).
Thanks!

[Puppet Users] Re: Suppress deprecation warnings because of Referencing Variables
Chris, thanks very much for the pull requests to fix the modules. I'll work up a fix for the docs; it looks like in particular the second bullet at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html#referencing-variables needs to reflect the deprecation and, as you note, the second half still uses the bareword. As an aside it's totally awesome that people are picking up on all the new stuff in the 3.2 release.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: runinterval - is it seconds or minutes? Docs are incomplete!
Puppet docs are the last place I look not the first place, and that's my annoyance with the documentation. Clear, complete, unambiguous, working docs with real-world examples are what we need. It gets really annoying to have to download modules from forge and have to wade through code to see what is the correct approach is, especially when so many modules don't have documentation either. pe_accounts is a classic example of incomplete, confusing documentation. Some of it just makes no sense at all, especially since it has no authoritative examples that are complete enough to use. No docs on how to set up external data sources. Very annoying and ironic, since Puppet is supposed to save me time. Instead I find myself constantly hunting for examples. Anyway I did find the snippet of information at the top of the doc, where I would never expect to see it.

Again, maybe I've just got a different mindset, but the parameter you need information on is a configuration setting. An explanation for the valid values for that setting is in a section titled 'Configuration Settings' and somehow that's not where you would expect to see it?

Well, it's an open source project. If you feel the docs aren't clear enough, you can file a ticket or submit a pull request via git. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/contribute.html On Tuesday, May 28, 2013 1:42:40 PM UTC-7, Tim Schaefer wrote: Puppet docs are the last place I look not the first place, and that's my annoyance with the documentation. Clear, complete, unambiguous, working docs with real-world examples are what we need. It gets really annoying to have to download modules from forge and have to wade through code to see what is the correct approach is, especially when so many modules don't have documentation either. pe_accounts is a classic example of incomplete, confusing documentation. Some of it just makes no sense at all, especially since it has no authoritative examples that are complete enough to use. No docs on how to set up external data sources. Very annoying and ironic, since Puppet is supposed to save me time. Instead I find myself constantly hunting for examples.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet REST API Questions
Typical puppet use is to write manifests. Manifests can easily install packages using the package manager of your choice, update configuration files, start services, run scripts, etc.. so there is probably a way to do what you want, however, I've never tried to do this using the REST api. Furthermore, Puppet really isn't a procedural system. When I first set out on the road of deciding which way to go, I read any number of opinions about my options, and primarily looked at Chef vs Puppet. I'm quite happy with what we've been able to achieve with Puppet, but there are alternatives that are purported to be far more procedural in nature, like Chef or perhaps salt stack. In a way, we are utilizing vm's in that our cluster is deployed through aws. Our strategy is to create AMI's for each machine type we need, that has the majority of the configuration taken care of. We use some scripts that utilize the AWS rest api to start up the servers, setup dns, and position the machine where it is needed, and we use puppet to do the rest of the setup. It seems to me that you are looking for something similar, and this is where in my opinion, you are expecting puppet to do something it's not designed for... which is getting a machine started with enough type/identity for it to run. If these are vm's running on a server, then between xen/vmware/virtualbox/whatever your host os is, there are ways to start vm's up with enough identity, that a tool like puppet could get you the rest of the way. Vagrant is a tool that could be used as that glue that handles what the aws instance API + AMI's provides.

Hi Ken thanks for your reply, We using Postgresql, we just have about 150 puppet agent, and for 130 agent its just run once per day, every day its take about 150MB. We using puppetDB 1.1.0.

[Puppet Users] Re: runinterval - is it seconds or minutes? Docs are incomplete!
Thanks for your response, and I'm sorry for ranting, but I remain unhappy with the docs. My expectations do remain high for Puppet Enterprise, and the open source product, I am certainly a huge fan. But I don't think it's unreasonable to have complete docs that include working examples of code and even diagrams to show the overall architecture. I wish I had the bandwidth to work on the docs myself, but too busy with my regular work to do that. Anyway... Anything you can do to make end users more capable of using your product is a win for you and not your competition.
