Re: [Puppet Users] puppet in java
Hi, If I understand your use case, you actually don't need to read the file in java, you just need to place properties files under puppet control, meaning, ask Puppet to either deploy the files (if missing) or ensure its content is equal to the one on the Puppetmaster. The real issue is that (up to my knowledge) no Java application will reload a properties file, so even if Puppet deploys a change to it, if the Java process has already been started, you'll need to restart it. Puppet has a mechanism called notify to do that, but if you don't want to restart the application this is not an option. An other way to do it would be use Puppet to set up a cronjob that restarts the application during the local night. This way; if you deploy a change during the day, the application will be made aware of it in the following night. if you really need to have the Java app immediatly load the change, you need change from regular property files (.properties, load by the bundle mechanism) to plain configuration file, which scanned for changes regularly by your app. (ie code changes).

All the branches run a local server for day to day activities. We are looking to automate these files when moving to different environments like deve, test, prod. So that we can manage these property files without restarting the applicaiton. From my understanding puppet is able to manage those property files and can be distributed to any number o nodes. From my understanding with puppet, it creates a manifest files and these are updated by the agents from the puppet master. My question is how to read these manifest files in java? does this puppet supports in all operating systems?

[Puppet Users] Generating a variable based on the hostname
Hi all, I'm wondering what would be the best approach to extract a value from the hostname. In my case, the hostname contains the type of environment (dev, int, qa, prod) and I would like to have a variable called $env which contains will be extracted from such FQDNs: - vm-role-app-prod-1 - vm-role-app-qa-1 ... I've tried using split, but it was not really practical. Any better idea ? Short to deploy a custom fact to add this value to the facts..

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Module for tuned-adm
Provider for this is overkill was my first impression also, but after
fighting a couple of time against my own exec for it, I just said F**k
that, let's make a proper extension. Also, this is very trivial extension
allowed me to demo how to do such extension in small Puppet workshop that
I gave.

You could also have a look at this other module :

I just had a look at Romain's, and a provider just for this is
overkill. As much as I hate exec, it's fine here since the profile name
is exactly contained in a single configuration file. Also, a class is
best here instead of a definition since it can only be instantiated
once per node. Lastly, using a class makes it trivial to tune nodes
using hiera and class parameter auto-lookup in puppet 3.

[Puppet Users] A simple module to manipulate entry in /etc/hosts
Hi all, As I used Puppet to set up on my laptop some local website with NGinx, I often need to add entry to /etc/hosts.

Re: [Puppet Users] failed to retrieve certificate on Amazon EC2
Hi, Thanks for you quick reply. Try puppetd --test --waitforcert 15 I actually tried --waitforcert 48 ! But it still hang and end up into a certificate timeout : puppetd[2078]: Could not request certificate: Connection refused - connect(2) I think it's complaining about waitforcert because you need that flag to retrieve the cert from the server. But it would have been nice to see the actual command you used to produce that error. :) puppet is running as regular red hat service, so there is no command (well there is but I just let the service runs). I have nothing fancy in my [puppetd] configuration: [puppetd] # The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes # associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in # the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses`` # option. # The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'. classfile = $vardir/classes.txt # Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An # extension indicating the cache format is added automatically. # The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'. localconfig = $vardir/localconfig server = puppetmaster.domain The number is the interval that the puppet client will pause between requests to the server for it's cert and is a required parameter. Ah, ok , so maybe having a big number here ( --waitforcert 48) is a bad idea At that point, back on the server you should see what facter considers to be the fqdn of the requesting machine when you issue puppetca --list Then sign puppetca --sign http://host.domain.comhost.domain.com I'd recommend turning off autosign on the puppet master as it's a security risk. For now I need autosign, because I'm creating instance on the fly - so I don't want to manually accept each one. (but I'm aware of the security risk of this setup). Hope that is helpful.

Re: [Puppet Users] puppetmasterd verbose log
I'm not making myself very clear also :)(as you are also in Berlin, you can realize my first question was rather late in the night ;) ) I do apologize. Here is an hopefully enlightening snippet: $ grep -e 'server' /etc/puppet/puppet.conf server = puppetmaster $ ping puppetmaster (host down) # service puppet start ... So at this point the puppet client will not be able to connect, throwing something like that if run with --no-daemonize and --verbose : err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run Now, I was expecting to find those messages inside the /var/log/puppet/ folder, as I expected the clients to check on the master every 30 minutes... But, I'm starting to think I'm getting this wrong ? Maybe the puppetmaster is pushing to puppets every 30 minutes ?

No, the clients are supposed to pull. What client version is this? I've seen 0.24.5 clients crash when the master went down, and seen 0.25.5 clients end up in a (apparent) sort of deadlock.

[Puppet Users] What's new about the Webrick/Mongrel situation ?
Hi, I've just finished James Turnbull book Pulling Strings With Puppet - which definitely an excellent introduction to Puppet, and I was wondering - as the book is a couple years old, what was the status of the all mongrel/webrick situation ? I guess it's still recommended to use Mongrel rather than Webrick for puppetmaster, at least for 0.25.5 (which I'm using), but it is still a sounded approach when using more recent version of puppet ? Does the new version brings something more in term of high availability ? -- Romain PELISSE, *The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it -- Terry Pratchett* http://belaran.eu/wordpress/belaran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Using puppet to redeploy staging app
@Daniel Pittman : don't worry about I will call the assumption - in a ml, one has always to compromise between describe his all situation (hence, 20 pages mail) or do something rather shorter but clearly spotty. Your answers were quite helpful anyway @lab42: Your Puppi module sounds quite interesting indeed. I guess I could probably reduce the amount of junk in my current puppet configuration using it. I'll look into it in the next days. FYI: As I need to have some kind of staging auto deploy for tomorrow, I will just do a crontab job that erase the deployed services every hour. Puppet will notice that (hopefully :) ) and this will trigger a full redeployment. This is far from behind perfect, but this will allow me to have something working for the time being. I'll explore Puppi just after that.

So via Puppet you can manage the whole configuration, but not the execution itself. In the project dir there are some examples of deploy procedures that can adapt to different cases, (incidentally puppi::project::maven is intended to pull from a Nexus repository (but it's currenly under redesign and it works just for wars deploys) but these can be totally customized or created from scratch using using custom scripts. The advantages I see with this Puppi are: - A sort of bridge between Puppet and the OS for managing shot operations. - Standard syntax to manage deploys (and rollbacks) for different cases: you always have to write: puppi deploy name - Once configured your deployment templates it's very quick and easy to setup deploy procedures on different servers with Puppet - Since the puppi command just executes, in a given seguence, a serie of commands, these can be totally customized, existing scritps can be adapted and different scripting languages used. - The puppi check command to see if on your node everything is running fine is incredibly handy (but for having this to work in an automated way you need the Example42 monitor classes) - The notification of the deploy result is customizable. For the moment it just sends and email, but you can do whatever you may want to do with a custom script.

Re: [Puppet Users] Using puppet to redeploy staging app
Personally, I would use some sort of CI solution like Hudson that would be triggered on commit. As part of the configured project you could have a full test suite run and if (and only if) it was entirely successful build new OS packages and push that artefact up to your repository. That's exactly what we are doing (I should have perhaps be more clear) Puppet can then be set to 'latest' for those packages and trigger the redeployment based on that change. This is exactly what I want to do, however those application are not package as rpm or deb but simply zipfile. Indeed, the applications are Java based application runned by daemontools. We simply unzip them and let daemontools start them. In lieu of Yum or Apt, we use Ivy. But even if we were to use Yum/Apt, and set upgradeable to the appropriate package, I don't think (or I didn't understand something) that it would trigger the puppet to upgrade automatically, as soon as the package is made available by the CI tool (in our case Hudson). ... or I miss something ? That gives a much more robust, repeatable, and automated deployment solution that ensures you push only if things are work. However, if you don't care so much you could just use the 'puppetrun' tool to trigger an agent run on the staging machines, and use whatever mechanism you prefer to have puppet install the latest version. Triggering puppetrun should be easy enough to automate based on whatever post-commit or post-push hooks your VCS supports. At first glance, sounds that puppetrun is probably a better option. I have to look into it (never really used it).

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Using puppet to redeploy staging app
It depends on how you deploy your applications. In the case of packaged applications I do the following after tests pass in Hudson: 1) using extconf to specify versions and overwrite the package version of the file with a script 2) use mcollective to go out and run apt-get update and install a specific version 3) use mcollective to audit the package versions and send a report I use the extconf file because I do the same for production and want to pin versions. You could just set your stage to latest and run an mcollective client to just kick off your install. Thanks for your answer, however, I do not use package application - which would be, in this regards, far more easy to handle. -- Romain PELISSE, *The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it -- Terry Pratchett* http://belaran.eu/wordpress/belaran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Using puppet to redeploy staging app
How are you versioning/distributing your software? The commits go in github and are polled regularly by our Hudson (CI server) which builds our code (Scala/Java code and also some Javascript source code), run the tests and package all of that either in jar or zip files. Hudson deploys everything into a maven repository (Nexus). On puppets, as we don't want to install a build tool as maven, we simply use Ivy - as a simple executable, to fetch the version from Nexus. Even if this all process sounds very java style, it could be applied to any languages (even if all the tools are actually Java based). We also do something similar with git for interpreted languages. Sounds interesting :) Could tell us more ? -- Romain PELISSE, *The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it -- Terry Pratchett* http://belaran.eu/wordpress/belaran -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Daemontools
Hi there,
I've been playing with puppet for a couple of weeks (So, I'm still quite a
newbie at it) and there is something I just can't seem to be able to fix.
I'm trying to have puppet manage daemontools service. Following the
documentation http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/types/service.html, I
added this in my puppet configuration:
class run_kuhmiho_service { service { puppet/$package:
http://localhost:8000/rev/e823d59610e4#l1.13 provider =
daemontools,http://localhost:8000/rev/e823d59610e4#l1.14ensure
= running,}
But, when the puppet tries to apply this configuration, I got : err: Could
not create puppet/ws-auth-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT: Parameter provider failed: Invalid
service provider 'daemontools'
Both puppetmaster and puppet are using a 0.25.x version of puppets and
support for 'daemontools' seems to have been added for those according to
the changelog. Any clues ? Did anyone on this list, tried and successfully
used daemontools with puppet ? Is this version good enoug or should I used
a more recent one ?
