Yep, sounds about right. Not trying to confuse you but they might be better 
expressed as 'profiles' which is just a further abstraction of modules. Depends 
on how different the conf data becomes. 

In that case you might end up having a profile (just another module) that 
collects data for Solaris ('profiles::audit_solaris') and and another for 
CentOS ('profiles::audit_centos').

They might call in 'audit::audit_monitor' or 'audit::audit_report' and pass 
config data collected there. (It is much more common to snake_case your modules 
- but not mandatory).

In that case you can have a blank init.pp file like:
class audit { }

Your best module layout inspiration should probably come from puppetlabs own 
forge modules. But how you write your manifests is pretty flexible. Just aim to 
be consistent :)

See above, it depends on what you do. It now common to include parameter 
lookups in your class like so:
class audit (
 $some_var = 'some_default'
 $some_other = 'some_other'
) {
  ...some logic working on vars...
}

You can then abstract lookup data in things like hiera by setting 
'audit::some_var: avalue' in your hiera data.

This also might be helpful in your considerations:

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Please explain need for multiple .ppm files in a single module

[Denmat]

Here's what puppet docs say.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html#manifests

One single .pp for complex modules are a nightmare. Better to separate into 
smaller chunks.

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

[denmat]

No, it is the same for the this test. You do need to have a resolvable IP
address for each interface IP it finds or it will error. For example I had
to add hostnames in my /etc/hosts file for my vagrant IPs (10.0.2.15,
172.28.128.5).

That maybe the error you're seeing there, "cannot interpret as address".

Re: [Puppet Users] Passing a generated variable inside a template...how?

okay, this works.

test.pp
class a {

  $inline = inline_template(
'<% scope.lookupvar("interfaces").split(",").each do |interface| %>
 <% @int_ip = scope.lookupvar("ipaddress_" + interface) %>
 <% @int_name = Resolv.new.getname @int_ip %>
 <%= "#{@int_ip}  #{@int_name}" %>
 <% end %>')

notify { $inline: }

}

include a


$ puppet apply test.pp

Notice: /Stage[main]/A/Notify[
 10.0.2.15  fake.name.net
 172.28.128.5  another.faker.net

Sorry to mess you around before. Maybe it was your mixing of "'" and """?

Re: [Puppet Users] Top scope variables and hiera

[Denmat]

Hi,

The way I see it you have two options.

The hiera function like you said or a profile/parent class that you can use to 
do the lookup.

class profile::provisioning (
  $server
  {
  class {someclass: server => $server}
  
  more
  ...
 }

Then common.yaml has only
profile::provisioning::server: blah.node

Which ever floats your boat will work.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Check service running with flag file

[Denmat]

Hi,

May not be the best solution but you can specify the command to run when 
starting a service, you could use that instead.

service {blah:
  start => 'test  && service blah start'
}

Alternatively you might want to put logic in the init file, into a facter value 
or some other way.

Cheers
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet cron jobs overwhelming host

[Denmat]

Also you could consider wrapping these in a flock to prevent actions piling up 
behind each other - like described here:
http://www.elevatedcode.com/2013/05/07/flock-for-cron-jobs.html

Many other examples on the net.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Hiera testing

[Denmat]

Yes, I think it's a good way to go, Alfredo.

I would normally have a hierarchy like the following.
- secrets (e-yaml-gpg)
- nodes
- environment 
- roles
- common

Gets by in most setups. You'll still need a site.pp file but in can just have:
hiera_include('classes') (pretty sure that's the call, not at a my laptop).

You can also do something to handle default nodes (ones that don't match the 
hiera data yet) by having one default node specified in your site.pp Up to you.

HTH,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Is trusting the agents a bad thing?

[Denmat]

One thing to consider is using hiera e-yaml gpg based on certnames. You can put 
secrets (db passwords etc) here and they are matched to the SSL certname. In 
this configuration an attacker can change their role/profile but still cant 
access secrets for a particular node that doesn't match its certname.

That is not the only way but a fairly reasonable compromise.

Re: [Puppet Users] Error on puppet agent after upgrade to 3.7.1.

[Denmat]

Hmmm. Not sure but here's what I would do..

I would ensure all rpm packages and any gems relating to puppet and facter are 
uninstalled, then install again from whatever package manager you prefer.

It feels like an unclean gem/rpm issue.

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet web serve is not working

[Denmat]

Hi,

Firstly, you're using http rather than https - but in any case, don't expect 
any web pages to appear when you hit the url in your browser. You should try 
running your puppet agent against the master.

I know you've said you have read the docs but PuppetLabs do offers great 
documentation. Maybe starting at the start is a good place for you with the 
PuppetLabs VM and introduction:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/introduction.html

Re: [Puppet Users] Looking to Learn - mjhas::postfix

[Denmat]

Hi,

That $::hostname is a fact.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_facts_and_builtin_vars.html

The $:: represents something in the top scope.
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_scope.html#top-scope

It will resolve to the hostname of the node running to the postfix agent.

Re: [Puppet Users] Multiple puppet agents with the same name

[denmat]

Hi,

that depends on your manifest and if they need to talk to a puppet master
or you are just doing a puppet apply (masterless).

Have a look at the Vagrantfile docs on puppet provisioners and you may get
inspired. Also you can pass in 'puppet_node' names and facts at run time
(with a puppet master).
https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/puppet_apply.html
https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/puppet_agent.html

There are other ways to change the hostnames of the machines in Vagrant too:
https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/tips.html

Re: [Puppet Users] issue understanding site modules

[Denmat]

Okay, could be a couple of things here: 

Environments still require normal module layout. You have 'profile' set in 
manifests.
Check modules section here:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/puppet_modules_manifests.html

Also when using environments you have to set --environment test when doing the 
agent run (otherwise it looks for production)

Re: [Puppet Users] Making a node use a different manifest

[Denmat]

Hi Roger,

Yes you can copy the critical node configuration into the spare node's. 

However, it really does depend on what that critical node does and any special 
requirements it has. It may have services that might need to be managed across 
one by one. Or it may require one node to be shutdown before the other come up. 

Anyway, short answer is yes, you can copy the node definitions if that makes 
sense to do so.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 3.6.2 + Vagrant

[Denmat]

I've just been working with it and noticed that warning too. 

I believe it will require an update to puppet.rb in vagrant - and be patched to 
work with the older versions. 

Haven't looked too closely yet.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: rspec testing and viewing the catalogue it is testing

Hi,

You need to include the puppet logging in you rspec file.

I can't remember what that is off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure this 
will help you along the way.

Re: [Puppet Users] Can't get puppetmaster working with passenger

[Denmat]

Hi, 

I'll see if I can answer this before my train hits the underground..

Check for gems and multiple versions of puppet.

Run your puppetmaster without apache, ie, stop apache and run puppet master 
--no-daemonize --debug. Run your agent against that.

Apache shouldn't be that much of an issue, re-check your config against the 
very good PuppetLabs docs and let us know how you get on.

Made it,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Need help optimizing our Puppet module

[Denmat]

Hi, 

And further to that I also did a quick skim and found you use augeas for a few 
resources that can probably be better executed with simpler resource types (I'm 
looking at you yumrepo). Augeas is costly from my understanding.

Also to get a good view of where the costs are in your manifest you can use the 
practically undocumented '--evaltrace'. It will show how long it takes to apply 
a resource on the host.

 Cheers

Re: [Puppet Users] Ordering between 2 create_resources in Puppet Manifests

[Denmat]

Hi,

Yes there is at least one way. I have been using tags to achieve this like so:

$default_a = { tag => 'do_a' }
$some_hasha = hiera('a')
$default_b = { tag => 'do_b' }
$some_hashb = hiera('b')

create_resource(resource_type, $some_hasha, $default_a)

create_resource(resource_type, $some_hashb, $default_b)

Resource_type<| tag == 'do_a' |> -> Resource_type<| tag == 'do_b' |>

You should also be able to tag in your yaml 'a' or 'b' hash but you have to tag 
every hash throughout the hierarchy (which could lead to unexpected results if 
you forget).

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet random notification confusion

[Denmat]

Hi,

Puppet doesn't run in any specific order unless you tell it to.

Look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ordering.html for the learning 
series.

Basically you can use 'require' declarations to get order:
file {'/tmp/thing':
  require => File['/tmp/that']
  ...
}

This says, the 'thing' file needs 'that' file to be done first.

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet jobs list?

The puppet list allows you to posts jobs to the list.

You needs to include [JOBS] in the subject line so people who aren't looking

Re: [Puppet Users] Weird Error From Running Puppet

Two things, look at disabling detailed-exitcodes and use --hiera_conf to

Re: [Puppet Users] hiera config oddness

[Denmat]

Hi,

It isn't finding the file name declared as your hostname.

Two things here I would suggest.

1. Use certname instead of hostname. Hostname can easily be changed but 
certname a little harder.
2. Use puppet master --no-daemonize --debug (on the master) and look for the 
hiera log output.

In any case, point two will show you how hiera is performing its lookups and 
what files it is using.

Start puppet master in --nodaemonize mode

Re: [Puppet Users] Custom Fact undefined in manifests

[Denmat]

Hi,

That looks a weird way of using facts. In my opinion that kind of detail should 
be in your puppet code, not your fact code.

What I would push out as facts are things like:

> v_ntp__ntp_conf=default

And then use puppet code to manage the 'if $::v_ntp...' (Notice top scope there 
for the fact variable). An alternative much better than this is to use Hiera.

Now, why is puppet not seeing that fact, I honestly don't know. Try different 
things like removing the puppet:/// schema and see if it works. Does a single 
word work without and forward slashes?

But really, I don't like the way your code is headed :)

I believe the librarian can manage a specified directory. You can add that

Run --debug --evaltrace on the agent run and check the output.

It will give you an idea of what is taking time. But sounds networky - dns?

Re: [Puppet Users] Passenger-Rack error 500: no such file to load -- rack

[Denmat]

Hi,

Try loading rack in the ruby irb console.

The other thing is depending on your version of puppet an passenger you will 
need a particular rack version. Do a gem list and see if you have more than one 
rack gem installed and remove any that may have been recently upgraded.

Can be a bit fiddly.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: How to apply puppet manifests toa remote host?

[Denmat]

Hi,

You're describing puppet 'masterless'. Depending on the complexity of your code 
(use of stored configs for example) you should be able to apply a manifest with 
'puppet apply' on your laptop.

You may have to change your existing manifest to make it more useable without a 
master but there are many people that achieve a lot without a central master 
(and you can use both if you really want).

There's a bunch of google results that show how others have done it.

Re: [Puppet Users] Apply a specific manifest on agent

[Denmat]

Hi, depending on your code you can look at a few options.

When an agent connects to the puppet master you can supply a --tag var that you 
can then inspect and make changes in your code paths.

The other thing you can do is add --environment and use the environment 
features that puppet has to load a completely different site.pp. 

There's a puppet git workflows page that will come up in google that explains 
the environments - tags can be found in puppet docs. (Can't get you direct 
links, sorry).

Re: [Puppet Users] Pushing file updates - taking a long time

Well depending on what your code looks like I would say;
Install packages - unlikely
Restart services - more likely.

Notifies or subscribes to config files may or may not restart services -

Re: [Puppet Users] Tidy on puppet 2.7.18 not working

[denmat]

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#tidy

The default is atime, maybe you could try mtime?
tidy {delete_old_yaml:
  path  => "/var/lib/puppet/reports",
  age=> '1w',
  type => 'mtime',
  recurse => true,
  matches => ["*.yaml"],
}

Your filesystem might be set to noatime - you can try find with the -mtime
and -atime and see if there is a difference on what is returned.

Re: [Puppet Users] Newbie Question: How to push/pull from other servers

[denmat]

Hi Dan,

so first you will need to layout your puppet directories like so:
.
├── manifests
│   └── site.pp
└── modules
└── my_module
├── files
│   └── my_file
├── manifests
│   └── init.pp
└── templates
└── a_template.erb

In site.pp above you can add something like:
node server1 {
  include my_module
}

Or you could do something like this:
node default {
  include my_module
}

node server1 inherits default { }

Now default could be named 'webservers', 'dbservers' or whatever group of
servers you want.

You can even do something like:
node /server\d+/ {
  include my_module
}

Here we are just including my_module for all nodes named server1 or 2 or N.

Now there are smarter ways to layout your node definitions and you wouldn't
normally include them in the the site.pp but this will give you the idea to
start off with - you can put them into a separate nodes.pp file(s) or into
something like a Hiera data structure. Anyway, have a look here for more
detail on node definitions.
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_node_definitions.html

Inside your module you might want to define what servers get what based on
things like facts. If so then this might give you some pointers too:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/3/reference/lang_conditional.html

Hi Dan,

You are more than welcome to post here. You will also find there have been 
loads of questions already asked and answered on this list - so the archives 
are a wealth of knowledge too.

Things to help:
Try to break down the things you are having trouble with into a simple test 
case. 
Include the error you are getting - check the master and the client.

Most people start by peppering the list with loads of questions and go on to 
lead happy lives :)

Re: [Puppet Users] Problem creating user with Puppet

[Denmat]

Hi,

That should work. Can you provide a bit more info? Versions of puppet and 
Ubuntu.

Can you also provide the output from your run with --debug? 

Make sure the user is removed before you run again.

Cheers

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet/hiera - how to debug errors ?

[denmat]

for i in `find ./ -name *.yaml` ;do echo $i ; ruby -e "require 'yaml';
YAML.parse(File.open('$i'))" ;done
./extdata/modules/apache.yaml
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:176:in `load': syntax error on line 5, col 11: `'
(ArgumentError)

syntax error on line 5 is as far as the parser goes, the actual error might
be above that line though, like an open " ' " or something.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 3.2.0-0.1rc2.el6 SSL problem

So can't help you specifically here, but if you take httpd/passenger out of the 
picture does it work as expected(ie, stop httpd and run the puppet master

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet/hiera - how to debug errors ?

[denmat]

Funny this should come up as I got the same error just today.

Incorrect YAML file was the culprit. Error is non-descriptive though.

This will help you find the file.
for i in `find ./ -name *.yaml` ;do echo $i ; ruby -e "require 'yaml';
YAML.parse(File.open('$i'))" ;done

Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Is it possible to compile puppet script to pure Ruby or other languages.

[Denmat]

Hi,

Compile to other languages? No. 
Compile to pure ruby? No.
Use masterless? Yes.
However, it is not the same as using the master - exported resources won't 
work, but things like hiera will still work.

Google returns many write ups on the matter.

Re: [Puppet Users] Support for transactions

[Denmat]

Hi,

No, puppet is not transactionable. There is also no simple way to do it in 
puppet and running noop first is no guarantee that the run will succeed.

Version control may help you out to 'roll back' but it would be messy depending 
on changes. Traditional methods of snapshoting disk or backup/restore can be 
wrapped around it (never done that myself).

Rspec testing can help you out a bit in testing as of course so can other pre 
deployment testing.

If the client doesn't like 'always roll forward' then puppet might not float 
their boat.

Cheers,
Den

Well that kinda makes sense for the top scope variable on the master to return

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet 3 and hiera debugging

[Denmat]

Hi,

Run the master in no-daemonize and debug. You will see how it searches through 
your hierarchy that way.

Also you can use the command line on the master to query hiera. See puppet docs 
for details.

Cheers,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] using a "test" within an if in a manifest

[Denmat]

Hi, 

No, not directly. Compilation takes place on the master and so that is where 
these tests would run.

What you need is a fact or use an exec. The fact will tell the master what the 
client has; an exec will run on the client where the test will execute.

Cheers,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] How to reference a class in site.pp without creating a module?

[Denmat]

Hi Max,

Making the module directory structure is pretty easy and will serve you well as 
you develop your manifest.

mkdir -p /etc/puppet/manifests/jdk/manifests

Then copy your jdk class into init.pp in that new directory.

Alternatively you can add the import clause into site.pp to find your jdk class.

import '*.pp'

That will tell puppet to import any .pp file in the same directory as site.pp.

Regards,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] syntax checking nodes, don't allow global scope

[Denmat]

Hi,

None that I know of - its the same as putting includes in site.pp. Education 
and review are your best bet.

(That said, very verbose rspec tests may pick it up for very specific cases - 
but it would be a bit of work.)

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet dynamically handle ssl registration re-registration

[Denmat]

You could try the ruby gem uuid. That would give you a reasonably unique cert 
name. You would then run a scan/probe to verify current certs against current 
nodes and remove unused certs from the master.

The nodes are just rebuilt with a new uuid and register. Wouldn't worry about 
SSL dir cleaning if security isn't high on you priorities.

Re: [Puppet Users] How to increase performance of managed directories?

[Denmat]

Smaller directories? :)

But seriously Puppet sucks at distributing large directories (you should see 
posts to the list going back years on this topic). If you look at the file type 
resource docs (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file)you 
can see you can change the checksum used, ignore files (unsure of speed 
improvements there), recurselimit to limit the depth of recursion and possibly 
the mtime attribute.

Alternatively, if running *nix you could try rsync in an exec. 

Your mileage may vary,

Re: [Puppet Users] Using puppet to upgrade a package (e.g. php 5.4)

[Denmat]

Hi,

You can use a yum makecache exec and require it in your php package section (or 
whatever relies on that repo). 

I've previously put all my repo calls in a 'stage' that ran before 'main' stage 
(see puppet docs for details). That worked well for local repo mirrors - was a 
slow down for others.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: razor hang

[Denmat]

Hi,

It's a bit hard to answer your problem because your issues appear more complex 
than you have described. 

For the record I've used the PuppetLab module on github to install Razor 
previously and it works. It does require access to the Internet however. That 
leads me to the question, what is stopping you from accessing the Internet on 
your razor server? 

You can, like I think you've described, set up tftp and dhcpd yourself and it 
sounds like your razor server is working ok.

The client you are trying to install on to will require no Internet connection 
(unless you are accessing the Internet during your build). 

To build your client you need to add a model, policy and possibly a broker to 
your razor server (there are several good examples on how to do this on the 
web).  From that your node will know what to do once it is discovered.

You can see if your node is discovered using $ razor node

The problem in your original post does sound familiar. How much memory are you 
giving to the client? 

Sorry for a scatter gun answer but now running out of time until my bus stop.

HTH
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Configuration is not applied notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds

[Denmat]

Hi,

First thing I would is check where I think this node is declared and stick a 
notify there to spit out a message on the run.

node nodename {
  notify {"some message and maybe a $var or $::fact
 }

Then use that same kind of message to trace through your code and find out the 
path your node travels.

That should get you further along.

Re: [Puppet Users] How do I check content of a file in puppet

[Denmat]

Hi,

Couldn't he run --noop as a scanner for hosts out of compliance and then when 
one is found, run normal puppet run (obviously you don't have to run in noop 
and just run normal runs and monitor reports).

That way management can see that non compliant host are being made compliant ( 
a much more useful report one would think).

So the solution would be to describe the state of the sshd_config file the way 
it should be and enforce that.

Reporting options on that are normal puppet reports.

Cheers,
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Trying, Trying and Trying and still cannot make puppet and client work :-(

[DenMat Gone]

Hi,

I think you should start here,
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/agent_master_basic.html

You will need to declare your client node definition in either the sites.pp or 
more normally nodes.pp. 

node foo  {
  include squid
}

puppet apply - applies a local manifest
puppet agent - talks to master

Cheers
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Template in site.pp

[denmat]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure there is a template directory config option in puppet conf
which would default to /var/lib/puppet/templates (you'll need to verify
this because I can't at the moment).

If so you should be able to pass that on the command line like so,
puppet agent --templatedir  

Of course you can go on to use modules which expects to find templates in
the modules template directory.

This is assuming your declaration looks okay, you haven't included your
manifest details.

Re: [Puppet Users] Reload fact variable during run

[Denmat]

Hi,

Not from within puppet but there are external ways (ssh, MCollective ). From 
them you can schedule action.

You can run puppet again (as compilation is done on the master not the client). 
The facts are sent to the master at the start of the run and puppet can't do 
anything with them midstream.

On the next run puppet will have the status of the fact (be it the way you want 
or not).

Re: [Puppet Users] Connection Timed Out updating node on 3g mobile broadband device

[Denmat]

Interesting setup. Sometimes providers block uncommon ports. Can you get to 
8140 over your 3/4g? If not, try running on 443 (change puppet.conf or apache 
ports).

If none of these work check the docs for timeout settings (can't remember of

Re: [Puppet Users] Error 403 on SERVER: Forbidden request: (HOSTNAME) access to (path_to_file) [find] authenticated at line 73 at /etc/puppet/modules/nginx/manifests/init.pp:97

[Denmat]

While Craig maybe right, are you sure it's not a typo? Are you trying to find a 
file in the mymodule module or in nginx module?

Normally you would try to keep files required by a module in the module that 
calls them.

Yes, unpack the bin and set up a repo or use exec's to download, unpack and

[Puppet Users] rspec testing - what am I missing?

[denmat]

Hi all,

There is something amiss with what I am doing. I believe the following
should work.

puppetlabs_spec_helper (0.3.0)
rspec (2.11.0)
rspec-core (2.11.1)
rspec-expectations (2.11.2)
rspec-mocks (2.11.1)
rspec-puppet (0.1.4)

It is weird because I have another test that works(which I wrote!) but
this simple one does not - hence there is something fundamentally

Re: [Puppet Users] Hadoop format using puppet

[Denmat]

Hi,

Tricky one. In the past I have used a touch file to test against (if touched 
file there don't do it - but that is a little insecure). 

After the filesystem is formatted I believe you should be able to list it. 
However when I was using cloudera Hadoop you that could return your local 
filesystem! So your test would always pass.

So maybe a format and touching a file in the hdfs would work?  Sorry don't work 
with Hadoop any more so cant test. 

You can have a look at the following:
https://github.com/denmat/hadoop_in_a_box

That was last approach (can't remember how I did it off hand).

Cheers
Den

Re: [Puppet Users] Machines not using local mirror

[Denmat]

Hi,

Cobbler can put the desired repo in /etc/yum.repo.d - but I have in the past 
explicitly cleared that directory (from the cobbler post install (kickstart 
really)) and managed the repos via puppet only. 

First thing puppet did was install the right repo. It was the cleanest way I 
found.

Re: WG: [Puppet Users] AW: Issue with large directory content

[Denmat]

Hi,

Not sure if I can help but just have couple of questions.

How long does it take to do a 'find' on the directory or a 'stat'?

Have you tried running the client with --verbose --debug --evaltrace 
--summarize?

Are you trying to set any permissions inside that directory elsewhere in the 
manifest?

I would expect recurse => false not to do anything too, but (and this should 
throw an error) can you set recurselimit? If so, does it make any difference?

[Puppet Users] [Job Listing]: Infrastructure Systems Engineer - San Franscisco

[denmat]

Hi people, here is a job that we have open in the US. 

*First I want to stress:*

*You must be a US Citizens to be eligible to apply.*
The official description is below, but here is my take on it.

We run Linux where possible, but we have some Windows servers where needed. 
We use Puppet and Capistrano - but we have some way to go to make this 
seamless. We are heading towards CI/Agile/Blahblah for infrastructure so 
that will be high on your agenda.

We run the following tech stack:


   - Tomcat/Java app
   - MSSQL DB backend - but also PostgreSQL to a smaller degree
   - nagios monitoring
   - elastic search nodes
   - activemq messaging queue
   - puppet

We have a strong tech focus and we would welcome a contributor to that 
rather than a button pusher. The main Operations team is in Melbourne so 
you will be working in a smaller team in the US (until Australia invades 
the US and takes all your nice things - like your Liberty!). Like any other 
SaaS service your main job is to keep it up. We are all trying to make that 
as painless as possible - if you want to help make that less painless then 
we would all think you are great and you'd be invited out to the pub for a 
beer, maybe even meet the misses. 

Back to our regular programming.

*Infrastructure Systems Engineer – San Francisco*

·Large scale 24/7 global delivery 

·Broad scope of responsibility

·Permanent opportunity

*Do you want to work with our engineering team on the next generation of 
infrastructure?*

Aconex is the world's leading online collaboration software company, with 
offices in over 40 countries and eight data centres around the globe. Over 
the past 10 years we have revolutionised how construction and engineering 
companies manage and share project information.

The Production Operations team is creating and supporting the next 
generation platform infrastructure for our SaaS business, providing 
scalable, fault-tolerance services that underpin much of the software.

We're looking for an Infrastructure systems engineer to help us keep our 
systems in peak operating efficiency. The key responsibilities of the role 
include: 

·Using Configuration Management and Automated Deployment tools for new 
releases

·Keeping our platform safe, stable and efficient including an on-call 
component

·Delivering projects to improve our product and platform

·Implementing new infrastructure to keep us ahead of the curve

·Work with both private and public clouds 

·Work with Multiple Global Datacentres

·On-going performance monitoring, analytics, reporting and capacity 
planning

If you are experienced in system administration in the SaaS industry, and 
passionate about DevOps with a keen interest in ITIL methods and fast 
changing production environments then this is the right opportunity for 
you. You communicate well with your team, internal customers and external 
stakeholders, and complex problem solving and troubleshooting is a natural 
strength. 

You'll need experience in a 24x7 mission critical Web-based environment and 
no doubt you'll be a specialist in Linux; as well as configuration 
management and deployment tools such as Puppet, MCollective and Capistrano. 
You love making improvements to processes to make everyone's life better, 
and love to hunt down and fix performance and stability issues before our 
customers notice.

The Aconex culture is what attracts and retains our great staff! We have a 
vibrant, flexible, team oriented culture, and talented people that share a 
passion for building great products. Aconex offers opportunities for 
professional development, as well as a social atmosphere.

[Denmat]

Hi, 

Righto, not sure that load path is correct, if it is can you successfully load 
the rubix gem using ruby's irb?
