[Puppet Users] r10k and git sparse checkouts
Hello, Does r10k supports git sparse checkouts somehow? Some context: I have different repos for different customers, like puppet-site-customer1, puppet-site-customer2, etc. Each of these master sites has a R10K Puppetfile that grabs a set of shared modules (my own and external) for that customer. Right now each shared module is a different git repo. I would much prefer to have all the shared modules of my own in the same repo, but I want to pick the versions of those modules independently of each other when updating one of those master sites. Git sparse checkouts could be the way to go, I figure. (Say I'm doing a fix in a customer repo and I need to update to the latest version of my shared puppet-ldap module. I don't want to update the versions of my other shared modules right now, just the ldap one.)

[Puppet Users] puppet-common 2.7.26 depends facter ( 2.0)
I noticed today that the puppet-common 2.7.26 deb package for Ubuntu precise at https://apt.puppetlabs.com/pool/precise/main/p/puppet/puppet-common_2.7.26-1puppetlabs1_all.deb depends facter ( 2.0) even though the facter page https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/ says The currently supported Facter versions are 2.x and 1.7. Both versions work with Puppet 3.x and 2.7. I've manually installed facter 2.2.0 (via dpkg) and it seems to work fine with puppet 2.7.26, so I'm confused by the dependency. Why is that there?

This objective has nothing to do with what you asked, then. Kick requests are separate from catalog requests already. Have you configured your nodes as described in the documentation https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.6.1/man/kick.html#USAGE-NOTES? In particular, have you configured the node's auth.conf as described? Perhaps you have, because it sounds like its the master that is complaining about authentication. If that's the case -- though I don't know why it should be if the node permits unauthenticated kicks -- then you are probably out of luck. Generically speaking, the SSL verification is trying to check that the certificate received belongs to the machine to which you thought you were connecting, by matching a known machine identifier to one of the names recorded in its certificate. If the only machine identifier you have is a transient one, then such verification cannot work. Perhaps you do have a persistent ID you could use, though. For example, you could use MAC address for your certnames. Supposing that you have a mapping between MAC addresses and IP numbers (e.g. from your DHCP server), then I suspect you could patch something together. Not so easily though -- the kinds of things I have in mind probably would require writing a custom name service plugin for use on the master.

Note that the PID of the puppet-agent process changes, and that there is a
35-second gap in the log. I conclude that the agent was restarted in the
gap, but the relevant log output was edited out, up to and including that
describing a new catalog request being issued. This is what I was
referring to earlier when I complained about preferring log output that
has not had relevant information edited out. Likely the restart was
mediated by Puppet itself, as I described above.

Not sure about this but my understanding is that a catalog run should be
sequential if there is a global lock in place?
What about that makes you think there were concurrent catalog runs? I see
a bunch of log entries from one process, followed by a bunch of log entries
from a different process. How is that anything but sequential?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The puppet apply command causes a catalog to be compiled *by* the machine on which it runs, *for* the machine on which it runs, and applies it *to* (only) the machine on which it runs. To configure a different machine based on the manifests and data on your master, you run puppet agent on the machine you want to configure. The master can manage itself that way, too. The agent runs in daemon mode by default, periodically requesting a fresh catalog from the master and applying it. The agent can also run in one-time mode, which some people leverage to launch it via an external scheduler such as cron. If it runs as a daemon, the agent can be configured to listen for messages (kicks) from the master, and to respond to them by initiating a catalog run. It seems more in vogue, however, to use an external remote-control framework if you want to do that. In particular, mcollective is typically suggested for that purpose.

Re: [Puppet Users] How can Puppet query from Sybase - Facter or Hiera?
Hi Johan, Thank you very much for the information. I am not using the machine information from Sybase to do node classification in puppet. My node classification is done by Puppet Dashboard.

Re: [Puppet Users] How can Puppet query from Sybase - Facter or Hiera?
Assuming the libraries to connect to sybase from ruby exist… you could just
write a custom function.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_functions.html
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_functions.html
so basically you want to do something like:
$workgroup = sybase_workgroup($::hostname)
case $workgroup {
‘A’: {
$template = template(‘modulename/A/template.erb’)
}
‘B’: {
$template = template(‘modulename/B/template.erb’)
}
default: {
$template = template(‘modulename/default/template.erb’)
}
}
And then the custom function would do something like
require ‘an_sybase_library’
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:sybase_workstation) do |args|
db = sybase_db_connection
result = db.query(“SELECT workgroup FROM workgroups WHERE
hostname = ‘#{args[0]}’”)
result[‘workgroup’]
end
end
Totally full of pseudo code, but that hopefully makes sense.

Re: [Puppet Users] How can Puppet query from Sybase - Facter or Hiera?
Hi cwebber,
Thank you for the detail example!
I finally figured out how to do this. Very simple.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.0/custom_facts.html#external-facts
With recent versions of facter, you can create external facts using any
executable format, or even simple yaml or text files, placed in:
MODULEPATH/MODULE/facts.d/. or in */etc/facter/facts.d/*
External facts provide a way to use arbitrary executables or scripts as
facts, or set facts statically with structured data. If you’ve ever wanted
to write a custom fact in Perl, C, or a one-line text file, this is how.
So what I did is just to place my existing perl script which will connect
to my sybase and query into the facts.d folder. Modify it a little bit to
return key/value pairs:
key1=value1
key2=value2
key3=value3
Then I can use key1, key2 and key3 as global facts (variables).
Thanks!

Assuming the libraries to connect to sybase from ruby exist… you could
just write a custom function.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_functions.html
so basically you want to do something like:
$workgroup = sybase_workgroup($::hostname)
case $workgroup {
‘A’: {
$template = template(‘modulename/A/template.erb’)
}
‘B’: {
$template = template(‘modulename/B/template.erb’)
}
default: {
$template = template(‘modulename/default/template.erb’)
}
}
And then the custom function would do something like
require ‘an_sybase_library’
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:sybase_workstation) do |args|
db = sybase_db_connection
result = db.query(“SELECT workgroup FROM workgroups WHERE hostname =
‘#{args[0]}’”)
result[‘workgroup’]
end
end
Totally full of pseudo code, but that hopefully makes sense.

Hi Johan,
Thank you very much for the information.
I am not using the machine information from Sybase to do node
classification in puppet. My node classification is done by Puppet
Dashboard.
My Sybase database doesn't contain any puppet class information. It
contains the hostname and the workgroup the host belongs to. What I want
to return from my database query is: given a hostname, please tell me which
workgroup it belongs to, then based on the workgroup value, my puppet class
will decide which template to apply to this host.
That's why I think a custom fact might do this job: I will define a custom
fact, which will get hostname and then connect to Sybase to determine this
host's workgroup. I actually already have the perl script to do this job,
but need to convert it to Ruby scirpt (puppet fact is defined in Ruby).
I am still doing research to find out what is the best approach. Will let
you know.
Thanks,
Stella

Hi Stella,
my first thought goes to implement a ENC script. Since you are already
keeping inventory data in a database, you could keep everything in one
place. If it is possible to add puppet support, in practice, make it
possible to assign puppet classes to your nodes in your sybase setup.
If that is not possible, I would look at a hiera backend getting the info
from your sybase database.
Keep in mind that it is the puppet master that needs the info from your
sybase database, so facts is not really an option.
(technically you can, but then every node needs access to your database,
but your master can get the needed info also, only keep in mind your master
identifies the nodes with the 'clientcert' or 'certname'.
Personally, I would go for the ENC first place, hiera in second, but
facts is a no-go.

Hi,
I am using Puppet 3.62. Trying to figure out what is the best way to
connect to my sybase database to query machine information.
Which is better:
1. Define facts that will connect to my sybase and do the query.
2. Use Hiera to connect to my sybase and do the query.
Anyone has any example to share?
Thanks!

[Puppet Users] Announce: Puppet Server 0.3.0 available!
This is the first feature update since the initial Puppet Server release. Notable user-facing improvements are: * (SERVER-18, SERVER-39) Puppet Server now supports externally-terminated SSL in the same way as external termination on Apache+Passenger does. * (SERVER-4) Improve error messages and user feedback when starting on systems with low memory. (We recommend at least 2GB RAM) * (SERVER-43) Add support for HTTP basic authentication; this was preventing the 'http' report processor used by Dashboard from working. For a full list of bugs fixed in the release, check out this JIRA page: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/SERVER/fixforversion/11955 Community shout-out for this release goes to Sean Millichamp for his detailed feedback on SERVER-18; this really helped get the use-cases nailed down. To install the Puppet Server, first configure your system to use the Puppetlabs Repositories using this guide: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html Then use your package manager to install the 'puppetserver' package.

[Puppet Users] Fwd: Announce: Puppet Strings 0.1.1 Released
We’re happy to announce the latest release of the strings module. Strings 0.1.1 is a backward-compatible bugfix release. It mainly includes changes to documentation, but fixes one pretty major bug those of you using the future parser would have encountered (PDOC-14). *The module can be found on the Forge here: https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/strings *Installation and usage instructions can be found here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-strings/blob/master/README.md To track issues related to this release or file new issues, head over to the PDOC JIRA Project: * JIRA Project: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDOC * 0.1.1 Tickets: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDOC/fixforversion/12010 In addition to asking people to try out the latest release, we’d also like to solicit some feedback from those of you who have been experimenting with the strings module. We’re now at a place where we need to decide where to take the module next, but before we decide that we’d like to hear what the community thinks. The first big question we want to ask is if YARD is the right approach. There was some discussion on the original thread about using Rocco or Docco instead. How do you feel about the format YARD outputs the documentation in? Is it what you’re looking for? Or would something more like Docco be preferable? Beyond that, where would you like to see us take strings next? Obviously there are a lot of things not covered by the module as is, such as types and providers, settings, etc. What’s the most important thing to cover next? Answers to those questions and any other feedback would be awesome.
