[Puppet Users] Re: Trying to get complex data set into Puppet from ENC
I'm having the same problem.

I am working on a Puppet deployment that needs to have a lot of disparate data pulled together, and as far as the ENC I created to pull it all in, everything has worked great. However, I'm running into a problem instantiating Apache virtual hosts. Here is some abridged output from my ENC: --- classes: app::lamp: appdata: sites: Some Website: id: 2 name: Some Website servername: somewebsite.com svntag_prod: trunk svntag_dev: trunk documentroot: ~ Another Website: id: 4 name: Another Website servername: anotherwebsite.com svntag_prod: 1.2.0 svntag_dev: 1.3.0-rc4 documentroot: ~ Third Website: id: 6 name: Third Website servername: thirdwebsite.com svntag_prod: trunk svntag_dev: trunk documentroot: /opt/thirdwebsite/customhtdocs So, I have some other classes that are parameterized and I can reference $appdata[$key] inside those manifests and everything works fine for strings or arrays. My issue is getting this hash of hashes in [appdata][sites] turned into vhosts. I tried using create_resources to no avail, tried dumping the ENC to YAML and using Hiera to parse that, and I have struck out in every way. And, honestly, I think there must be a better way to do this. The data is all in a single MySQL table, so I looked at hiera-mysql backend, but I think I am over my head here. Has anyone got a good example I could reference doing something like this, especially for multi-dimensional hashes? I was starting to look at just converting it to JSON or just comma delimited text and feed it to Puppet as a string to be parsed, but that just seems wrong. I've been at this 4 hours now with no luck, any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Puppet Users] stages examples/advices
My 2cents,
Why not use the stdlib that puppet provides. It contains the following
stage presets,
class stdlib::stages {
stage { 'setup': before = Stage['main'] }
stage { 'runtime': require = Stage['main'] }
- stage { 'setup_infra': }
- stage { 'deploy_infra': }
- stage { 'setup_app': }
- stage { 'deploy_app': }
- stage { 'deploy': }
}
I'm going to start using this going forward.

so you could do this:
class orden {
stage { [ 'repos', 'os', 'gLite', 'post' ]: }
Stage['repos'] - Stage['os'] - Stage['main'] - Stage['gLite'] -
Stage['post']
}
A style question: wouldn't it be preferable to write it like this:
class orden {
stage { 'repos': } - stage { 'os': } - stage { 'main': } - stage
{ 'gLite': } - stage { 'post': }
}

[Puppet Users] Re: Hiera problem: Can't convert Symbol into String
Have you tried,
---
family: prod
cluster: prod
compresslogs: true
?

All,
I have found very few references to this error so I'm guessing I must
be doing something wrong. I have just started using hiera and am trying to
use it in the simplest way possible, I have a class that looks like this:
class app_users2($compresslogs = hiera('compresslogs')) {
#Setup Cronjob for compressing app logs
if $compresslogs == true {
file { /etc/cron.daily/copyLogs.cron:
mode = 750,
ensure = present,
alias = compresslogscron,
source = puppet:///modules/app_users2/copyLogs.sh
}
}
}
For the node I'm running this on, hiera returns 'true' for that value when
I test it out:
$ hiera -c hiera.yaml compresslogs loc=sd type=app
true
I am using the yaml hiera backend and the yaml file this is configured in
looks like this:
---
family : prod
cluster : prod
compresslogs : true
However, when I try to execute the manifests either on the host or test
them using cucumber-puppet I get the following error:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
can't convert Symbol into String at
/etc/puppet/modules/app_users2/manifests/init.pp:2 on node xyz
I have tried quoting, unquoting the data in the yaml file in the
conditional in the class. I've tried calling hiera as a parameter to the
class, also just as part of the conditional ( if hiera('compresslogs') ==
true ) etc. It appears that anytime I try to reference that value from
puppet it throws this error.
I have found a few references in IRC logs to others having this problem
but they all stated Oh, I figured it out without explaining how - so I'm
a bit stuck.
I am running the following hiera versions on the puppetmaster:
hiera-puppet-1.0.0-0.1rc1.el5
hiera-1.0.0-0.1rc3.el5
And the puppetmaster is running puppet v. 2.7.6.-2. I also tried updating
the puppet version on my host running cucumber-puppet to 2.7.18 and it
continues to throw this error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron
