[Puppet Users] Re: Is this a Facter 4 bug? (using custom facts in other custom facts.)

The cause for your issues is that there's code before the setcode do line, which will cause issues under Facter 4. Having code before setcode do was a bad coding practice but didn't break things in Facter 3. In Facter 4, it does break things. If you move the hostname=Facter.value(:networking)['h

[Puppet Users] Re: Calling a puppet function inside a ruby task

your function in that folder, i.e.f /functions/func1.rb 3. Namespace the function according to your module name, for example mymodule::func1 4. You can now use the module in a Bolt Plan (under /plans) with mymodule::func1(args) - KevinR On Thursday, February 4, 2021 at 7:53:46 AM

Hi Raghuram, yes this is achieved with the subscribe meta parameter. For example: registry_value { 'disable_defender': ensure => present, type => dword, path => 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender\DisableAntiSpyware', value => 1 } reboot { 'regkey_reboot':

Hi Jarod, the following Puppet code will do what you want to achieve: $file = 'vlc-3.0.11-win32.exe' $tmpdir = 'C:/Windows/Temp' file { 'VLC Player Download': ensure => present, path => "${$tmpdir}/${file}", source => "https://videolan.mirror.liteserver.nl/vlc/3.0.11/win32/${file}";

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppetserver performance plummeting a few hours after startup

Hi Martijn, it sounds like you have a sub-optimal combination of: - The amount of JRubies - The total amount of java heap memory for puppetserver - The size of your code base This typically causes the kind of problems you're experiencing. What's happening in a nutshell is that puppet i

Re: [Puppet Users] Bolt: Running a ps-script making a web request with credentials

Yep you've run into the second-hop problem as Glenn mentioned. I tried your script in a remote Powershell session and it has the same problem. Basically the issue is that the credential cache is empty on the remote machine (as a security precaution), which prevents you from use the DefaultCreden

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet agent fails collect packages for puppet "Cannot collect packages for Puppet::Type::package::ProviderYum provider; Failed to list packages"

I sometimes have this issue on one particular node, the cause is that the Yum database gets corrupted on that node sometimes. I've built this Puppet Task to repair the database when it happens: #!/bin/bash rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* rpm --rebuilddb yum clean all yum check-update if [ $? == 100 ];

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet bolt templates ??

You do it as follows: plan puppet6::puppet_upgrade( TargetSpec $nodes, ) { $targets = get_targets($nodes) $targets.each |$target| { apply($nodes) { class { 'puppet6::upgrade': location => $target.vars['location'] } } } } -Kevin On Thursday, September 19, 2019 at 12:00:18

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet bolt templates ??

Yes to all of the above :-) 1) Within Apply blocks, you can leverage Hiera data from the module. Simply put a hiera.yaml in the root of the module to define where Hiera data should be read from 2) While Hiera is nice, it might be even more powerful (depending on the use case) to leverage the n

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet bolt templates ??

Yes that will work, there are a few erros in your code though: - $location should not be quoted when calling epp() - the name of the variable for epp should not begin with $ class profiles::upgrade ($location = undef) { file { '/root/my_file.txt': ensure => file, content => epp('my

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet bolt templates ??

Hi Andy, you can do this with an Apply block in your plan: apply_prep($nodes) apply($nodes, '_run_as' => 'root'){ file { '/root/my_file.txt': ensure => file, content => epp('my_module/my_file.epp', { 'my_param' => 'my_value' }) } } For the above example, you'll need to create a dir

It could be either the Powershell ExecutionPolicy, or simply a failure to resolve the hostname of your Puppet server. Or it could be an SSL problem, if the hostname you're using for the Master doesn't appear in the list of Subject Alternative Names in the SSL cert on the master. Try this user_d

Hi Eirik, the parameter behavior is actually the other way around: class foo:bar( $param1, # This enables you to provide 'param1' when instantiating the class, # and it enables auto-parameter-lookup for foo::bar::param1 in Hiera. # if no value is given
