PuppetDB 2.1.0 Downloads Available in native package format in the release repositories at: http://yum.puppetlabs.com and http://apt.puppetlabs.com For information on how to enable the Puppet Labs repos, see: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#open-source-repositories Blog: http://puppetlabs.com/blog/introducing-puppetdb-2.1.0 Binary tarball: http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/ Source: http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs tickets site, using an affected PuppetDB version of 2.1.0: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB Documentation: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/2.1/ Puppet module: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb PuppetDB 2.1.0 Release Notes PuppetDB 2.1.0 is a feature release focusing on new query capabilities, streaming JSON support on all endpoints and a new report status field for determining if a Puppet run has failed. Note that this release is backward compatible with 2.0.0, but users must upgrade PuppetDB terminus to 2.1.0 when upgrading the PuppetDB instance to 2.1.0. Things to take note of before upgrading: * There is a known issue in Puppet 3.4.0, 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 with duplicate failed events here: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1524. We recommend upgrading to Puppet 3.4.3 or greater. * If you receive the error “Could not open /etc/puppet/log4j.properties”, this is because we have changed the packaged config.ini to point at a new logging configuration file: logback.xml. However during package installation some package managers will cowardly refuse to just update config.ini, this in particular affects RPM. After upgrading you should ensure any .rpmnew files are reviewed and that changes to our vendored version are now merged with your version of config.ini on disk. See this ticket for more information: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-656 Nice to see you switch to logback. I have found it to be much better(more than most people actually expect) :) * Make sure all your PuppetDB instances are shut down and only upgrade one at a time. * As usual, don’t forget to upgrade your puppetdb-terminus package also (on the host where your Puppet Master lives), and restart your master service. New Features: * (PDB-660) Switch all query endpoints to stream JSON results The following endpoints have been switched over to streaming: - event-counts - reports - nodes - environments - events Using 'event-query-limit' is now deprecated, use the normal paging/streaming functionality to achieve the same results. * (PDB-658, PDB-697) Implement new query engine for v4 This rewrite of the v4 API query infrastructure unifies query operators across all endpoints. Each endpoint now supports all operators appropriate for the given field of that type. As an example, any string field can now be searched by regular expression. All dates can be search with inequality operators like or for searching via date ranges. There are also many new queryable fields. Below summarizes the new features of the switch to this query engine events endpoint - Added configuration-version as a queryable field - Added containment-path as a queryable field (queryable in a way similar to tags) nodes endpoint - Added facts-timestamp, catalog-timestamp, report-timestamp as a queryable field reports endpoint - Added puppet-version, report-format, configuration-version, start-time, end-time, receive-time, transaction-uuid as queryable fields null? operator - new operator that checks for the presence or absence of a value Some endpoints previously returned NULL values when using a not query such as [not, [=, line, 10]]. The query engine follows SQL semantics, so if you want NULL values, you should explicty ask for it like: [or, [not, [=, line, 10]] [null?, line true]] * (PDB-162) Add regexp support to resource parameter queries The query engine supported this, but the existing rewrite rule, to go from the shorthand parameter syntax to the nested resource query didn't recognize ~. That is fixed with this commit, so regexps will now work on parameters. * (PDB-601) Do not require query operator on reports endpoint With this pull request, hitting the reports endpoint without a query argument will return the full reports collection. This behavior is consistent with that of the nodes, facts, and resources endpoints. * (PDB-651) Allow the web app URL prefix to be configurable Previously PuppetDB always used the context root /, meaning all queries etc would be something like

I'm a little stuck with a puppet manifest due to the declarative nature of
things and it's taking some time for the concept to fully sink in so could
someone guide me in the right direction here (if this is the correct route
of course).
At the moment the setup is using vagrant, puppet and modules from puppet
forge. The site manifest declares your typical LAMP stack which in it's
most basic form works fine using the puppet modules and configuring
accordingly.
Currently I have a 'files/mysql/backup.sql.gz' structure inside Vagrantfile
root dir and unfortunately the gz won't extract to /tmp/ using the
/vagrant/files/mysql/back.sql.gz path as it's not recognised even though
ssh'ing in reveals it - at a guess shares aren't active whilst provisioning?
Following the successful extraction of the sql backup I'd like to import it
then remove all traces of it so I guess the big question here would be is a
routine task like this of scope for puppet and if not what approach should
one taken given you can't declare the same resource twice (e.g. file {
'/tmp/backup.sql':... ), one to ensure it exists and the other to ensure
it's deleted.
Thanks, any help appreciated.
Here is something that works for us:
define omysql::do($source=undef, $db, $content=undef) {
include omysql
include mysql::params
$script = ${omysql::sql_snippets}/${name}.sql
file { $script:
mode= '0600',
source = $source,
content = $content,
}
exec {mysql-import-${name}:
path= ['/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin'],
command = mysql --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf -A ${db} ${script}
touch ${script}.semaphore,
creates = ${script}.semaphore,
require = [File[$script],Package[$mysql::params::server_package_name]],
timeout = '0',
}
}
Basically this creates a semaphore file to indicate if the file was
already imported. This was used on a simple project to do migrations and
initial data imports. Note that it requireds the puppetlabs module and
adds our sane defaults in omysql. A basic usage would be:
omysql::do{'my_cool_migration':
source = 'puppet:///modules/myproject/data.sql'
}
or
omysql::do{'my_cool_migration':
content = 'alter table ...'
}
This won't delete the data sql neither the 'alter table'. Not sure how
you would do that...
Note that for more complex requirements I would write a provider. Tell
us if you do so, I would be glad to use it(the define is just a little
hacky for this)

No. rspec allows you to implement unit tests to catch certain regression
bugs. catalog-diff is rather concerned with integration testing
(although you can use rspec for that as well).
I think with catalog-diff we're catching regression bugs too, meaning that
if the module interface is broken in the proposed commit, it will show up
as an error (unless no node is actually including the refactored module).
Hmm I am suspecting that sadly we are talking about sort of different
things here. In my company we have reusable puppet modules between
different teams - those are build by experts and require major testing
because we don't want to break things in incremental versions. The thing
is that those modules are not applied as is but are mostly reused in
different project specific modules(i.e. site modules)
I can see catalog-diff valuable for our site modules because it is
actually testing the end result - what will be applied to a given host.
In most cases the reusable modules are used in different ways with
different parameters - let's say a tomcat module that is responsible for
deploying war files and what not but cannot be used standalone(you have
to wrap it in some way)
does it provide the following:
* Automatic runs through guard/rake/whatever on every commit to verify
that I am not breaking things like permissions on files
You could do that, but compiling each of your nodes' catalog on every
commit would be excessive.
I don't see it as such a big problem. You can always put more resources
on your CI server to make that possible which leads me to my next
question - have you guys automated this in some way. I would be glad to
catch regressions from catalog-diff on all my hosts but automatically -
let's say through rspec or some other srcipt.
Shameless plug: I have been doing a more mature approval port for java
lately https://github.com/nikolavp/approval and although it is not
ready, there is a good looking thing for ruby here
https://github.com/kytrinyx/approvals. The idea is that you approve the
output of master compile the first time the test is run and then(on
further runs) if there are differences(detected through catalog-diff)
you are prompted(let's say in your editor). This allows you to
approve the differences if you know that they won't do any harm but in
a more automatic way.
I agree it can be overkill for many environments, I guess depends on what
you actually want to test, or better, what kind of confidence you want to
have that your committed code is not actually breaking anything.
To me seems that the catalog-diff approach is catching a broad variety of
problems, also some that (I think) can't be easily catch by expressions in
rspec.
For example, somewhere in a random manifest I'm just changing declaration
style for a class, from 'include myclass' to class {'myclass': }, leading
to possible declaration dependency order / duplicated declarations
problems: Node A (which I am currently working on) is including only one
declaration, but node B was evaluating that class declaration two times,
hence the duplicate declaration only on node B.
Can rspec-puppet catch also this kind of problems? More in general, I'd
like to know if rspec-puppet can give me the confidence that, given a node
resource, the new version of the catalog will compile for that node.
Actually no - that's what we use staging for. You push your modules up
there and see if they run properly on real machines. We also use the
modules through vagrant on every developer machines - so they are
constantly tested.
Of course we want to start using beaker for those kind of tests so we
don't push crap on the bear metal(although it is not metal most of the
time)

Most people just don't' see the sense of doing rspec unit tests - why writing the same code twice ? Well, I think there is still a lot of talking to do Hi Johan, sorry for the missed presentation at Puppet User Group Berlin, I'll make it one day or another and I'll share the slides at least ;) I'll be very happy to discuss further the testing topic, because testing is also very important to us. Actually we do lots of testing on our manifests (but not with rspec) and catalogs, and precisely I think that puppet catalog-diff [1] is the key piece in the pipeline for us, because it shows us for real what's actually changing with every commit we push to our manifests, plus the noop runs before merging to prod give us the final safe net to be sure we don't get any unexpected change in production. For the last 8 months or so it's been working surprisingly well for us and I'm really willing to share our experience with the community and also getting and suggestions about how to improve it even further. By the way, I'm another one that's not so convinced about the rspec tests value, to me seems that the unit tests themselves are much less relevant for a declarative-like language like Puppet. I mean, there's no 'design' that has to emerge by the unit tests getting green, in our team we already share a defined design for module structure, and, say, if the coder write the spec for a file to be there, I don't see why I should trust that more than a definition of that same thing in the manifest itself, hence the feeling of code duplication with no real value added. I see the value of using rspec in TDD just because I can then go back and refactor the manifests properly. I haven't used catalog-diff but I am suspecting that it might be a substitute for the rspec tests. Tell me does it provide the following: * Automatic runs through guard/rake/whatever on every commit to verify that I am not breaking things like permissions on files * Does it work on the catalog semantic level or syntactic level - what I mean by that is that if I have defined 4 files in a class each with the same user/group/mode and I move those into default parameters for the File resource in the scope - will it detect that I am not changing anything? * Will I be able to test that things haven't changed once I move to another puppet version - let's say the default mode for directories change in the next major puppet version? What I can see very clearly for normal software development, those values coming from TDD, I can't see easily for Puppet manifests writing. Something like Beaker [2] is what we'd like to add to our testing pipeline, i.e. running tests for the full stack in a VM, but again, stil more then willing to change my mind about rspec-puppet ;) Beaker with http://serverspec.org/ is quite nice - note that I am still not using it long enough to complain(waiting it to happen :)) [1] https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-catalog-diff [2] https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker/wiki/Overview -- http://about.me/alexanderfortin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Good news everyone,
After about 4hrs of food, beer and code Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden (ekohl
on Github) and I are intoxicated to release puppetdb-stencil.
Puppetdb-stencil is designed to render resource types based on a template.
The canonical example of this is the nagios types in Puppet:
$ cd examples python ../puppetdb-stencil.py nagios_host nagios_hostgroup
define host {
host_name node1.example.com
hostgroups +mysql
use mysql
alias MySQL Cluster node node1.example.com
address node1.example.com
}
[..]
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name mysql
alias MySQL Cluster 1
}
[..]
On a PuppetDB with 600+ machines and 900+ host groups generating the files
for these types takes about 1s in total.
Because of the templating this principle can be applied to any resource
available through PuppetDB as long as a template is created for that type.
Templating is done with the Jinja2 library allowing for inheritance and
many other advanced templating features.
This work has been inspired by the work done by eBay/Marktplaats and Github.
You can find puppetdb-stencil at:
https://github.com/daenney/puppetdb-stencil.
We expect to shortly add:
* packaging and availability through PyPi
* additional configuration switches to fully configure connecting to
PuppetDB
* allow for an arbitrary query to be passed in to the resource request
* allow to specify a file to which the output will be written instead of
stdout
* tests, Travis integration and the works

Something like the following:
$command = /bin/ls /doesnotexit; /bin/echo hello
exec { 'cool':
command = join(split($command, '; '), ),
}
Note1: you will need https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib for
this. Although I suppose you already have it.
Note2: this is not tested but it should work. Of course it written
in a generic way so you can wrap it in a define let's say.
Note3: the error messages from this can be cryptic...
P.S. Hate using execs..

If you need to control each of the return codes just use different exec

If you,
the problem is that there are many puppet modules which use concatenated
commands, without realising about this problem.
to be safe, I am suggesting that puppet should enable that behavior by
default.

i don't suggest executing every concatenated command and control each
return control.
i am suggesting failing as soon as a concatenated command fails. (as in
bash set -e)
just use different exec resources
as a side note,
another improvement about puppet exec would be that the exec command can be
an array of strings, executed in order as long as none fails.

A specific example I think will be of much help. Some ideas:

Yes, B is some sort of more specific A.
Not easy to explain because they use custom apps, services, and files (and
I don't even fully know how they work), but maybe this example will fit:
- role A is web server
- role B is secure web server
- the same set of resources (packages, users, files, configuration
edits...) is applied for both roles, but role A sets some permissions in
httpd.conf while role B needs more strict permissions for the same web
paths, so they need to use different parameters for the same line in the
same file.
Maybe inheritance is the way to go?
I can put my resource (and related ones) in a separate class with a
parameter for the value to be inserted in the conf file, and then create
two different classes for roles A and B which inherit the class and
override the resource attribute through the parameter.
Is that right?
With inheritance you get the following:
class webA {
...
file { '/etc/myapp/config.properties':
content = template('my-default-template')
}
...
}
class webB inherits webA {
File['/etc/myapp/config.properties'] { # note the capital File and the
same resource name as above
content = template('my-custom-template'),
}
}
More can be found in
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_classes.html#inheritance
look at the Overriding Resource Attributes section. Although I don't
like inheritance as you describe it if roleB is a secure web server and
roleA is a web server I would go for it.
Other ways to do this would be to just propagate the parameter for the
change to both role A and role B with default values.
What do you mean?
Something like
class webA (
port = '8080' # this is the default
) {
...
}
class webB (
port = '8081' # this is the default
) {
...
}
now at this point if you want to declare them both you just use another
definition...
class mynewrole {
class { 'webA':
port = '8081',
}
class { 'webB':
port = '8081',
}
}
sadly this way the augeas or the way you do the change will be fired two
times :(
I am not sure if understood the idea. I am not saying that you have to
create a dependant fact but just to set a fact with the value you want
to change. So let's say you want to have a database connection URI. Role
A sets it to something by default and Role B sets it to something else.
You can specify the wanted connection URI on the host with custom fact.
Ok, but how can I create this custom fact on the hosts?
I'm provisioning the hosts through Foreman, I need the installation and
configuration of the hosts to be automated, based on the classes/roles
selected in the Foreman GUI. I do not want to create the custom fact by
hand on each host.
That's why I was thinking about checking the classes applied to the host,
as a way to automatically detect the value to be assigned to the fact.
Ok so the fact is not an option ;)
N.B. Can you also tell us how do you assign the roles for each host
because that might help us be more specific with a solution.
I assign puppet classes to the hosts using the Foreman web GUI; either
specific classes during tests, or by associating the classes to different
host groups and then assigning hosts to groups.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
how can I create a condition based on the presence of a specific puppet
class on the host?
I'm using Foreman, some hosts have myclass_a applied, while others have
myclass_a AND myclass_b.
Resources in myclass_b are applied after resources in myclass_a.
Both classes change a parameter inside a configuration file, using augeas.
But this causes two changes in the file on each puppet run (from state b to
a, and then from state a to b again).
So I'm trying to do something like this, to prevent myclass_a from applying
the modification if also myclass_b is present:
class myname::myclass_a {
if defined(myname::myclass_b) {
$confchanges = [
'set anotherpath_b anothervalue_b', # if class B is
present, I only apply my specific edits
]
}
else {
$confchanges = [
'set anotherpath_b anothervalue_b',
'set mypath myvalue_a', # if class B is absent, I also
apply the conflicting edit
]
}
augeas { 'myconffile_a':
lens= 'Puppet.lns',
incl= '/etc/myconf.conf',
changes = $confchanges,
}
}
class myname::myclass_b {
augeas { 'myconffile_b':
lens= 'Puppet.lns',
incl= '/etc/myconf.conf',
changes = 'set mypath myvalue_b',
}
}
...but this does not work, it never gets to the else section. Probably
because the defined function is evaluated on the puppet master, where the
class always exists.
I cannot use a condition on the existence of the myconffile_b resource,
because this is parse order dependent and would always return false when
evaluated inside myclass_a.
Any suggestions?
I'm looking into alternatives like virtual resources or defined types, but
I cannot see anything better suited at the moment.
Thanks.

Re: [Puppet Users] Let puppet configure your monitoring (here: nimsoft)
I am not familiar with nimsoft but I will try to help anyways here -
sorry if I am missing something but you can correct me. Let's say you
want to monitor the oracle instance:
First you specify the nimsoft_oracle_connection you already have
written(as I saw from the readme in github) and then on the actual
server that is checking each host in your network you will have build the
configuration
with something like https://github.com/dalen/puppet-puppetdbquery. For
that you will surely need a puppetDB configuration setup that is
connected to your puppet master.
Something like the following should then work(WARNING not tested code):
class nimsoft::server {
$hosts = query_nodes('Nimsoft_oracle_connection[PROD]')
file { '/etc/nimsoft-config-file':
template('template-that-interpolates-hosts variable')
}
}
Hope this helps at least a little

share your experience with nimsoft and puppet and how you automate things.
If you use a different monitoring tool: How much is your monitoring
puppetized? Do you configure your monitoring by hand? Is your monitoring
system so smart that it does not need a lot of manual configuration, or
do you use tools like puppet to automatically create configurations?

I cannot declare the same Service resource again in class B.

Why do you need this? You can just use the name of the service which

Uhm, I expected the notify parameter to create a File ~ Service
dependency, and so a Class['B'] - Class ['A'] dependency which would
create a loop with the other one, according to
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/metaparameter.html#notify :
[…notify…] it creates a dependency relationship like before.
Hmm (shame) good point. Haven't tried the code. In that case I would
move the service(thingy) in a separate module with a define for a config
file with proper relationships there. Then A and B will both have
dependencies on that module and it(the new module) will handle the order
and dependencies.
I find this pattern far cleaner and when you think about it services are
just separate things so giving each of them a module makes sense.

Re: [Puppet Users] Dynamic Nagios Hostgroup members via collected resources?

I admit I'm somewhat new to this game, so please excuse my ignorance on the complexities. I'm looking for a way that puppet can use collections / exported resources to create nagios host groups. For instance, I'd like a hostgroups for osfamilies, puppet environments, domains, and perhaps virtual or hardware platform. It seems like using @@nagios_hostgroup on the nodes, and collecting the resources on the Nagios server is not sufficient, when what I'm looking for is one hostgroup named RedHat with members of this osfamily, and another hostgroup named Solaris whose members are of the solaris osfamily. I've not had much success writing this into puppet, so is this just not possible? Would I be better served creating custom resource(s) that simply collect lists of node names by the facts I'm interested and then the Nagios server uses those collections as data to populate its set of nagios_hostgroup resources? Thanks for your thoughts and wisdom. I think that the only real way to do this properly is to not realize nagios resources in the standard way.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: logstash module to control service
Not that it is related to puppet but you should check their wiki for example proper init scripts. I can remember there were systemd, upstart and normal systemv scripts for logstash.

It suits our needs more than good and it is always up to date with different plugins. -- Nikola On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 06:17:05AM -0800, jcbollinger wrote: On Tuesday, January 14, 2014 5:05:34 AM UTC-6, Dick Davies wrote: Are you sure that 'service logstash status' is working properly?

That shows that Service['logstash'] is indeed in the catalog, and that Puppet thinks it is already in the desired target state. On second reading I observe at least one strange thing about the initscript's 'status' command: it relies on a variable $PID that seems nowhere initialized.

Puppetlabs make their money in part from their excellent additions to the open source version (which makes deployment a bunch easier), but also from paid support engagements - if someone wants to pay them to update the docs for the open source parts, they will. If not then we either wait for them to get the time to do so, or we submit a pull request. We're not talking about a company the size of Google here, Puppetlabs doesn't have large bunches of cash to throw around, and my overall experience of the Puppet documentation has been excellent. The particular page in the bug report was extremely helpful when I started out with Puppet. I'd be keen to see more examples and helpful tutorials, but that's not core product documentation - the actual reference documentation on the puppetlabs site is bang up to date, complete, and way beyond the level of documentation available for many other products that sell for big money. And even better, if that's not enough the source is very readable and well commented. There are several areas in the documentation where gaps exist, and I commend Puppetlabs for highlighting these and over time filling them in. The product is still in active development and over time just gets better and better. Exactly my thoughts on the subject. Basically if you don't like the documentation you can research the problem(in this case custom providers) and then just populate the missing gaps in the documentation. This is how most of the open source projects out there improve their documentation. If for some reason your pull request is REJECTED then this is a different topic and is one I will be mad about(if at all possible) The fact is that the puppet project has one of the best documentations I have seen out there.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet, Yum, Cassandra, openjdk and --nodeps
This is rather unfortunate. The only way that I can think of is to change the deb/rpm package and serve that on your own.

Trying to install cassandra via puppet. Works great, only caveat is cassandra (dsc12 package) lists openjdk as a dependency. Ironically enough, the datastax guys themselves recommend using Oracle JRE instead of openjdk, and there is even a bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=907485that prevents cassandra from starting if it's using openjdk. Anyway, I fixed it by adding an exec to my puppet-java module that sets the Oracle JRE runtime as the defaults via alternatives, and it works fine. However, I still end up with two different java runtimes installed which I find to be a bit unclean. The root of the problem to me, though, is that by having puppet install dsc12, I lose visibility into what all those dependencies were that got installed along with it (I didn't realize openjdk was even installing until I started investigating why cassandra wasn't starting). So what I'd prefer to do is add each individual package dependency into my cassandra module itself, thereby explicitly installing only what I intend to install, and nothing else. The only way this works, though, is if I can somehow pass the --nodeps option into yum during puppet apply time. Otherwise, regardless of whether I already installed Oracle JRE, using yum to install dsc12 will automatically install openjdk. How have you guys handled scenarios like this? I tried searching through the topics here for yum nodeps but it seems people found different ways of solving their individual problems rather than sending flags to the yum provider itself. I also noticed this puppet feature requesthttps://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4976which unfortunately has remained open(?) for 3 years. I've also seen people suggest that nodeps should never be used with yum since the purpose of yum is to handle dependencies... but we also like some of the other features of yum, like being able to pull packages down by name automatically from our yum repo (which we manage in-house).

Hi all,
We've been using Puppet to write out our Nagios configs for ages. I
think I understand it pretty well. Recently we've had reason to set
'target' on all Nagios resources, based on the fqdn of the monitored
host. However I don't want to have to set 'target' by hand on all
Nagios resources (nor remember to set it on all future ones).
So my question is: what's the easiest way to bulk-set the 'target'
parameter according to the fqdn?
So far I tried setting it on the Nagios server, which didn't work
because $::fqdn is always the name of the Nagios server, not the
monitored host
Nagios_host | | {
notify = Service['nagios'],
target = /etc/nagios/conf.d/${::fqdn}.cfg,
}
I also tried including this on the monitored host, which didn't work
because it attempts to realise all Nagios_host resources on the
monitored host, not the Nagios server.
Nagios_host | | { target = /etc/nagios/conf.d/${::fqdn}.cfg, }
Is there an easy way to easily making all nagios_* resources have a
fqdn-specific target?

Re: [Puppet Users] variables inside variable names
I think that you are having a problem here because $java is not
expanded/interpolated as a variable and the template solves it. You can
safely use the fully qualified name and this should work:
$java_home = ${java::jdk_1_7_u10::home}
Of course if you want to use $java as a variable you will have to use a
templates. If you tell us more about your usecase and setup - there are
often better ways to do what you want - hiera comes mind first; also
java::params class comes second with the home set as parameter for
different setups

I would like $java_home to be equal to /usr/java/jdk-1.7.0-10. Is there an
elegant way to make this work? We currently use an inline template to make
it work.
java_home = inline_template(%=scope.lookupvar('java::${java}::home')%),
But this has always felt like a hack to me so I am curious to know if there
is a better way? Currently running puppet 3.0.0.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re-create my.cnf when using Puppet MySQL module
You can use custom settings that will be put in /etc/mysq/conf.d/ and
will be included in you setup by overriding any setting in my.cnf. Here
is an example from our setup:
mysql::server::config{ 'my-cool-settings':
settings = {
'mysqld'= {
'max_connections' = '400', #the maximum number of open
connections
'max_connect_errors' = '1000', # sane value because the
default is 10 which is not enough at all!
'character-set-server'= 'utf8', #use utf8 by default
'innodb_buffer_pool_size' = $innodb_buffer_pool_size, #innodb
buffer size

We've got 64-bit servers running tomcats on RHEL that need to be 32-bit

2.7 Puppetmaster and the yum repo hosts the Oracle JDKs.
Currently we just push out what we want with:

which essentially does 'yum install jdk' (some other bits too, but
they're not relevant).
I was hoping to include something like

They install cleanly on 12.04 (I assume this is because they are pure Python) and even if they didn't, I could rebuild them for 12.04 from source-deb.

Re: [Puppet Users] Grouping hosts within environments
Yes you can just tag them from there:
accounts::users::accounts:
sysadmin:
ensure: present
home: /home/sysadmin
managehome: true
shell: /bin/bash
uid: 4000
gid: sysadmin
comment: Systems Admin
tags aren't special in any way - they are just a metaparameter that each
resource in puppet can have -
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/metaparameter.html#tag
If you don't want to repeat yourself and can deduce the user team(group)
from the yaml file or something, you can use the third parameter for
create_resource which is just the default parameters. So you would have
something like this:
$tags = {
tag = 'app1'
}
create_resource(user, $myhash, $tags)

Hello,
i'm starting using Puppet on my personal lab. There I'd like to reproduce a
multi base tomcat installation as follows:
* Multiple jdk installations (multiple 1.6.x, multiple 1.7.x)
* Multiple tomcat installations (multiple 6.0.x, multiple 7.0.x)
Here is the problem:
using the Package definition, i'm unable to have multiple jdk version (as
1.6.4 supersedes 1.6.3, leaving only the last one installed correctly), so
I created a custom define that uses a File definition to copy multiple
directories (/opt/java/jdk-$version) from my puppetmaster (recurse + purge)
and used this as follows:
tomcat::home { 6.0.37: version = 6.0.37}
jdk::home { 1.6.24: version = 1.6.24}
but i'm unable to create a simple check on my tomcat istances like a
require tomcat-6.0.37.
How can i accomplish what i need?
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Puppet Users] puppet in an appliance model?

Re: [Puppet Users] What do YOU do to catch undefined variables
I/We currently have 32 modules - some of these are of course third party so they don't count. One of the modules is for our biggest project which consists of different components and their configuration based on different environment setups. That module currently contains 36 *.pp files. If you think vim can't scale I can assure you that it can. Lately I've been using https://github.com/santana/puppet-cleaner to clean my pp files and while it is still possible with eclipse to do the same it feels so unnatural.

Re: [Puppet Users] How to indicate multiple dependency?
Are those packages defined in different files? If they are in the same
file you can just do the following
package {['pgk1', 'pkg2']:
ensure = 'installed',
} -
file { 'file1':
...
}
If they are in different files you maybe will be able to hack something
with the spaceship operator but it will hard and might brake in the
future because of circular dependencies :(

Re: [Puppet Users] Coding style best practise
Strangely enough, I lately started to move my params out of params
classes and into the init class. I really prefer to have example::param1
in my hiera instead of the example::params::param1. Will be glad to
hear what the params class actually buys you as a pattern.
For me the params class makes more sense when you don't have hiera or
ENC in place. I remember using it because it was used as a standard and
I found it as a nice pattern on the internet.

Re: [Puppet Users] calling_module vs module_name ?
Calling module can serve you well if you have a reusable define that is

Most of the time I won't recommend this for a hierarchy as it can be
hard to reason about it...

Check the anchor pattern and declare that an puppet::start is declared

Re: [Puppet Users] Augeas lens dependency on valid config file parsing
I think that this is mostly because of lens that are written this way. We shouldn't blame them that this is poorly written in my opinion. It is just more restrictive. Lens that I have written accept a regular expression as an identifier instead of listing them. Best, Nikola On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 03:02:51PM +1100, Gonzalo Servat wrote: Hi All, I just ran into a frustrating Augeas problem, which I thought I'd share with you all. We run a cron every morning to fetch the latest RPMs (for the packages we're interested in) from various places such as rpmforge, EPEL, etc. This morning I tried to build a VM and it failed. What happened was that last night, a new version of nagios-nrpe was downloaded so the VM that was built had this latest version. The RPM includes nrpe.cfg which had a new option added to it: allow_bash_command_substitution=0 In the manifest, I have an augeas block to modify the allowed_hosts line in the nrpe.cfg file. Puppet was failing giving a Save failed error message, so I went in via augtool to see what's going on. I noticed that it could not parse nrpe.cfg (i.e. ls /files/etc/nagios returned nothing). I had the previous config file saved for NRPE somewhere, so I diff'ed them and noticed the only new option is the option I mentioned above. After removing this new option, augtool could parse the file again and Puppet was happy. After having a quick read of the nrpe.lns file inside augeas-libs, I noticed it actually lists each of the options that it will recognise from the config file, and evidently fails if it finds new options that it doesn't recognise. Anyway, it hit me that there is quite a big dependency between config files and augeas lenses. A change in one config file can affect Augeas which affects Puppet runs. Or is this just a poorly written lens? - Gonzalo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet MySQL Module
You can use the database_grant resource type. Here is an example:
database_grant { ${user}@${::hostname}/${db}:
privileges = ['select'], # anything you want
require= Database_user[${user}@${::hostname}],
}
set the $user and $db variables to what you want ;)

Re: [Puppet Users] Download and unzip to install a webapp
I can advice you to use fmp[1] for this and build a native debian package for your distribution. The tool also supports rpm with the same configuration almost all the time(at least for me). I think that with fpm, you shouldn't *ever* use a zip again. I have a bunch of Makefiles that build my packages and the life is so much better this way. If you prefer other build systems you can use them too ofc.

What I'm seeing in that snippet from your log is that it seems to think it has submitted a certificate request before. I just tested with my own machines, and it looks like if your agent still has a $ssldir/certificate_requests/name.pem file sitting around (and crucially, it doesn't automatically destroy these when it gets a cert, so if it used to have a cert and you didn't nuke the whole SSLdir, it's probably there), it asks for a cert but doesn't ask the master if it's ever asked for a cert. So check that certificate_requests dir and nuke it if there's anything there, then get back to us?

Re: [Puppet Users] RFC: Default File Permissions
I have seen this issue for sure many times. I always forget this and when I see it while running with --noop, I change the owner and the group on the file resource. I am +1 on fixing this to have a more deterministic behaviour Best, Nikola On Thu, Feb 07, 2013 at 05:48:58PM -0800, Josh Cooper wrote: Recently, the issue of copying file modes from remote sources was discussed on the puppet-users mailing list[1], although it equally applies to owner and group. One issue is what permissions to apply to newly created files when none are specified? Historically, Puppet has always copied the permissions from the file source to the newly created one. However, this causes problems on Windows[2] agents due to the way that Puppet emulates POSIX permissions. We break NTFS access control inheritance to ensure the effective permissions are not greater than what Puppet has granted. It also causes problems on *nix agents, when the files' source is remote and uid/gids are not synchronized. A second, but related issue, is that Puppet applies the same copy-permissions logic to files that already exist. This goes against what jcbollinger said, unmanaged resources and resource properties should not be modified by Puppet[3], and what Nigel said, A core principle of Puppet is that you can choose to only manage the attributes of a resource that you care about, and can leave the rest unmanaged.[4] However, this bug has been around so long, at least 0.24.8, that we can't change behaviors in a minor release.[5] Patrick and I talked about this and would like to propose adding a file parameter, something like `use_source_permissions`. If true and permissions are unspecified, Puppet would continue copying source permissions as it does today, for both newly created and existing files. This would be the default. If false and permission are unspecified, Puppet would never copy them from the source. Instead the permission defaults for newly created files would be based on the user that Puppet is running as. And the permissions for existing files would be unmodified. Doing so would provide a mechanism for resolving both #5240 and #18931. Comments and feedback welcome.

In that context, the master can serve catalog requests quickly enough that clients rarely time out, despite webrick's single-threaded nature. All true. My recommendation for a new Puppeteer would certainly be to start out with webrick, since it works out of the box with no additional software or configuration. Switch to Passenger or something more capable only when webrick becomes inadequate. When that will be depends a lot on the manifests involved, the hardware underneath, the number of clients, and the request frequency. Passenger works out of the box too here.

If stock augeas doesn't pan out I think I'm going to

(wrapped in a nice custom resource of course ;-)).

Combining templates
You lost me there -- would you mind elaborating how these
type of 'Combining templates' could be useful in my case?
I hope that I understood you correctly in the first place - otherwise
ignore my advice :). You want to aggregate a common configuration file
for *all* of your services so you want one of the following:
* combine all config files to look them in one place - this is easily
done with templates if you have a bunch of service classes
class service1(...) {...}
class service2(...) {...}
each of these has a template for it's configuration(with params and what
not). You then just call the template function with all of them and they
will be concatenated. In the case of the XML you might get clever and
include a pre and post templates to get a proper tree
* you want to provide a common config file for sane defaults and then
override some of the settings in each service. This can be done again
with templates - it is a bit harder and it might be slower for your
taste but it is still doable - you define some kind of virtual resource
for sub templates and then realize only those that you see fit.
Note that both are almost the same(if not the same) as the concat
plugin. So you might just better use the already working implementation
from there.

Hi!
I would appreciate any advice on the best practices
on how to model a collection of services that each
has its own configuration file, but also share a common
one.
Now, the trouble is, that the common configuration file
is not *really* just a place for the common configuration
to reside, but also may have sections dedicated to holding
properties of a particular service (just like /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
has [main] [agent] and [master] sections).
Thus, in reality, the configuration properties are
per service and whether they need to go into a common
configuration file or a service-specific one is NOT cleanly
partitioned and is pretty awkward to remember. Which
means I really don't want to expose the common config
explicitly to the end user.
Instead, I'd like to expose the natural hierarchy of:
class service1($foo, $bar, $baz) {
}
.
class serviceN($qoo, $zoo) {
}
but the question then becomes -- how can I model a
common configuration file behind user's back so that
$foo, $bar and $qoo end up there.
At first I was thinking that I could utilize a singleton
non-parameterized class and include it multiple
times in all of the serviceX class definitions, but it
seems I can't pass any values into it.
I suppose I can still do that and create a skeleton
of the common config in that singleton class
that would later be manipulated either by augeas or
concat patterns, but this seems to be pretty heavyweight.
What would you, guys, recommend?
Thanks,
Roman.

Well you can tell puppet to source a whole directory and put it
somewhere for you. Here is an example from our nagios application
specific manifest
snip
class app {
#install the app package
include app::install
include base
#generic nagios checks like memory, load, etc
include nagios::target
#application specific checks
file {'/usr/local/nagios':
ensure = 'directory',
}
file {'/usr/local/nagios/libexec/':
ensure = 'directory',
recurse = 'true', #enable recursive directory management
purge = 'true', #purge all unmanaged junk
force = 'true', #also purge subdirs and links etc.
owner = 'nagios',
group = 'nagios',
mode= '0544',
source = 'puppet:///modules/app/nagios',
}
Class['app::params'] - Class['app']
}
/snip
Pay attention to the file resources. You can now put
your nagios checks in *modelpath/files/nagios/*. Change the path as
/usr/local/nagios/libexec is used here for historical reasons
Hope that helps.
Best, Nikola

Morning all
I've had a quick google, but couldn't find anything useful for our
scenario...
Basically, we use Nagios NRPE in our environment, along with a hand-full
of in-house written plugins specific to our applications etc...
These scripts change on a fairly regular basis, so hand rolling a RPM each
time is too much work as far as i'm concerned...
So I can easily get NRPE installed on a node using Puppet... However what
I'm struggling with is getting all the plugins synced over aswell...
One suggestion I read was to use a file resource, however I've also read
about severe performance issues when working with tens of files...
I dont really want to have to create some kind of NFS file share to
distribute the files...
So, any other ideas?
Cheers
Gavin
P.S. Env consists of a single 3.0 Puppet Master, currently with about a
dozen nodes connected, but this will rapidly increase once we start full
roll-out...

Re: [Puppet Users] checking if DB populated
I am using the following and it serves us well. Basically it makes sure
that the importing is done and executes ' touch semaphore' file. There
are plans to put those into /var/lib/puppet/sql-snippets instead of in
/opt but oh well it seems I am too lazy to go and move them on each
server now...
snip
class sql {
$sqls = '/opt/sql-snippets'
file { $sql::sqls:
ensure = directory,
mode = 700,
}
define do($source='', $db, $content='') {
$script = $sql::sqls/$name.sql
file { $script:
mode = 600,
}
case $content {
'': {
File[$script] {
source = $source
}
}
default: {
File[$script] {
content = $content
}
}
}
exec {mysql-import-$name:
path= ['/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin'],
command = mysql --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf $db $script touch
$script.semaphore,
creates = $script.semaphore,
require = File[$script],
timeout = '0',
}
}
define source($local_script_path, $db) {
$semaphore = $sql::sqls/$name.semaphore
exec { mysql-execute-script-$name:
path= ['/bin', '/sbin', '/usr/bin'],
command = mysql --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf $db $local_script_path
touch $semaphore,
creates = $semaphore,
timeout = '0',
}
}
Class['mysql'] - Class['sql']
}
snip
Note that it requires a mysql class to be defined before that.
You will get bonus points if you make it work for other databases like
postgre and what not
Some problems:
* the name of the sql::do or sql::sourc should be lowercase as i don't
want to support that(if you want put quotes around semaphore in the
touch

Which is the bast strategy to check if a DB has been populated?
The target is to execute the mysql file.sql just once since it could
not be idempotent.
The idea is to use the unless clause to stop it to run if there is the
known data in the table, but it seems that it is just happy with the mysql
managing to connect and the fact that the DB return of an empy set is
treated as a success return from the mysql command (obviously it managed to
execute and the return value of the command does not depend on the result
of the query).
Any hint?

Re: [Puppet Users] Seeking some Puppet advice for a newbie (specifically Virtualmin/CSF related)
You can actually install in a custom directory and build a package from
that pretty easily. Look at directory provider from
https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm on how to do that. Of course you
will then want to tweak specific configuration options like IP address
through puppet.
Hope that helps :)

Any help in tracking this down would be much appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] PuppetDB + PuppetMaster with Passanger
Hi everyone, I am trying to configure a puppet master with a puppetdb for storeconfigs backend. I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and the packages from puppetlabs repository. The option I chose for the master is to use passanger as I am far more familiar with apache than with the ruby web servers that are available as an option. I will also need puppetDB for proper nagios configuration so I got that as well from the ubuntu packages. Here is the full package list that I installed: apt-get install puppet-common puppetdb puppetdb-terminus puppetmaster-common puppetmaster-passenger I followed the guides on puppetlabs and everything worked fine for a vagrant virtual machine I have locally as an agent. The problem came when I tried to add puppetDB to the picture. I started getting strange error on puppet agent -t on the agent. I am also getting the following message in the system log when I try to connect to the master Could not configure routes from /etc/puppet/routes.yaml: Could not find terminus puppetdb for indirection facts Strangely enough I couldn't find any answers with googling so I decided to post here for help.

Re: [Puppet Users] File optimizations

I was thinking about some optimizations of this functionality. 1: On puppetmaster: For files with source = 'puppet:///modules...' puppetmaster should already calculate md5 and send it with the catalog. 2: On managed node: As md5s for files are already there once catalog is received, there is no need for x https calls (x is the number of files managed with source= parameter) 3. Puppetmaster md5 cache This would of course put some strain on puppetmaster, which would then benefit from some sort of file md5 cache: - when md5 is calculated, put in into cache, key is filename. Also add file mtime and time of cache insert. - on each catalog request, for each file in the catalog check if mtime has changed, and if so, recalculate md5 hash, else just retrieve md5 hash from cache - some sort of stale cache entries removal, based on cache insert time, maybe at the end of each puppet catalog compilation, maybe controlled with probability 1:100 or something Do you have any comments about these optimizations? They will be greatly appreciated... really :) b. Hi, When using puppet I found that it is a far better idea to serf files with something else. You will be far better with something else for this job like sftp or ssh. My conclusions just came from the fact that we were trying to import a big dump(2GB seems ok to me but who knows) and puppet just died because they are not streaming the file but it is *fully* loaded into memory. Apart from that these ideas seems reasonable but I am not a commiter. Best, Nikola -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
