Re: [Puppet Users] facter fails to detect network interfaces with long names
Looking at the gentoo response in the ticket, the decision to maintain the interface truncation looks pretty final. Regardless of this, supporting iproute2 should be a priority, since I've heard of minimal arch installs that don't include net-tools at all and we can expect the trend towards iproute2 to continue.

We are experiencing problems with downloads from github at the moment.
Trying to fix the issues.

The 2.0.0 release of Geppetto is available as download and updates from
within Geppetto for all users of 1.0.x.
Please see the FAQ at:
http://cloudsmith.github.com/geppetto/faq.html for information if you
run into problems updating.
Checkout
http://cloudsmith.github.com/geppetto/faq.html#2011/06/28/how-do-i-update if
you need instructions how to run update.
In this release
===
* Code completion of resource expressions (types and definitions) and
their attributes.
* Selection of puppet target (2.6 or 2.7) can now be made in
preferences. Puppet 2.7 is now the default.
* Tasks are now generated from comments. Comments with the tags todo
or fixme (case insensitive) are interpreted as tasks and show up
in the Task View. An exclamation mark ! anywhere in the message makes
the task important. When comments ends with a tag, the text on the
same line up to the tag is used as task text. e.g. '$mispeled = false #
fixme'.
* Support for search path and environment (removes many ambiguity
warnings). This feature provides detailed control over what is visible
and prioritizes among otherwise ambiguous matches. Preferences available
globally and per project.
* Wizards have been improved (added wizards, better names, error handling).
* Improvements to validation (more cases and code-smells caught)
* Suggestions and quickfix using soundex for unknown names-errors.
Type 'gebud' and Geppetto will guess you meant 'debug'.
* Preference pages added, and preferences per project supported.
* Auto edit (auto insert) of '' () {} [] /* */ can be turned on/off
individually via preferences.
* Check for updates of Geppetto turned on by default in packaged
Geppetto. Check out the preferences for detailed control over update
policy.
* Packaged Geppetto uses Eclipse Indigo as base (IDE version supports =
Helios SR2). This means numerous bugfixes and enhancements to the
general platform.
* Nice icons for files, Modulefile, Manifests and puppet projects.
* Supports alternate location of forge (mainly for testing).
* Log View added to packaged Geppetto (it was hard to find details about
some errors without this).
* Numerous issues fixes.
See https://github.com/cloudsmith/geppetto/wiki/Release-Notes for more
detailed information about fixed issues.
Update site is available. The full downloads are being uploaded as this
message is going out...
Hope to see you at PuppetConf. There will be demos...

[Puppet Users] deliberately causing template failure?
How do I cause template failure in the erb ruby? I'd like the same kind of
failure as for a template syntax issue, where puppet keeps going. I know I can
use exit in a template, but I haven't yet tested if that will simply cause my
puppet agent to exit altogether.
Background:
I'm trying to template /etc/network/interfaces on Debian/Ubuntu, so of course
there can be many different interfaces, but each one must have certain values
(like ip address).
I want it so that if a value in the data hash is missing then I can cause the
template, and thus the file declaration to fail. That will save us from
incorrect data entry when defining interfaces.
As an example, I'd like something like the following, but if the nil caused the
file to not be created, rather than created with the this file is portion as
follows:
# cat /etc/puppet/templates/xx.erb
this file is %=
if xx.has_key?('zz')
xx['zz']
else
nil
end
%
# cat /tmp/xx.pp
$xx = { yy = 'aa', qq = 'bb' }
file { '/tmp/xx.txt':
content = template('xx.erb'),
}
# puppet apply /tmp/xx.pp
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/xx.txt]/ensure: defined content as

should only call the mq_gsk class when the mq class is not used in a
hosts' node definition
Here is my configuration
class mq (
$gsk_version = undef ) {
require mq::params
.
class { 'mq_gsk':
gsk_version = ${mq::params::package_gsk_version},
}
}
class mq_gsk (
$gsk_version = undef ) {
require mq_gsk::params
package { $mq_gsk::params::gsk_packages:
ensure = ${mq_gsk::params::package_gsk_version},
}
}
When a node needs to be configured as an MQ server, the mq class will
be included and mq and the mq gsk software will be installed. However
some servers only need to have an Apache server installed, but apache
uses an additional plugin which requires the mq gsk software also.
If I configure a host with either MQ or Apache all is well, but as
soon as both classes are included in a node, I get a duplicate /
already defined error (as expected)
ERROR:
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Duplicate definition: Class[Mq_gsk] is already defined in file /etc/
puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp at line 104; cannot redefine
at /etc/puppet/modules/mq/manifests/init.pp:62 on node
nodex.domainy.com
Within my apache class, I tried to use if defined(), but this does
not seem to work at all
Here is one of my many attempts
if defined(Package[mq_gsk]) {
notice ( ${apache::params::module_name}, mq module defined, mq_gsk
already included )
} else {
notice ( ${apache::params::module_name}, mq module not defined,
check websphere module defined )
if defined(Package[${apache::params::package_name_module_was}]) {
notice ( ${apache::params::module_name}, websphere module
defined, mq_gsk included )
class { 'mq_gsk':
gsk_version = undef,
}
}
}
I also tried other things which I read on Puppet Users, like
if defined(mq_gsk) {
if defined(mg_gsk::gsk_version) {
but nothings seems to work. It always says that the mq module is
defined (while the mq class is not included in the host definition) or
it says not included (while the mq class is included in the node)
I wonder I 'defined' is to way forward, of if there is a better way to
solve the 'already defined' issue.
I'm using puppet 2.7.3 on CentOS/RHEL 5.7

[Puppet Users] Variable number of variables in external node output...
All, I have a situation where I need to get some fairly complex configuration files onto systems, and I'm wondering if puppet can even do this. Lets say that my external node script will go and source all the data it needs from an external database, and dump out all variables that the node will need. The relevant puppet module(s) will then have to inject these variables into templates to be deployed to the systems. Now, what if the number of variables that get dumped by the external node script is variable? And, what if these variables are broken into chunks that need to be split into different files on the remote system? How would I do such a complex thing in puppet? A lack of any type of looping constructs in puppet would seem to make this rather difficult. Doug. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Software inventory
Does anyone else have any concern about populating custom facts that list ALL packages installed on a system? My sense is that it has the potential to create a lot of overhead for facter, and in turn puppet itself. (A typical linux system will have hundreds of packages installed). I also don't think putting the data in facter as key value pairs necessarily presents the data in a useful form, but that may be in the eye of the beholder. -Brian On Sep 21, 3:14 pm, Ashay ashay.hum...@gmail.com wrote: On Sep 21, 10:53 am, Glenn Bailey replic...@dallaslamers.org wrote: Before I go about writing one myself, anyone out there written a software inventory module/fact for gathering a list of all installed rpms/debs on a system?

Re: [Puppet Users] Variable number of variables in external node output...
Puppet can do this. I would propose the following solution, but there may be other ways to do it. 1) Use a template. Templates have embedded ruby code and run on the clients. 2) Link to some library that allows you to query your database (You can use one or more require statements in your ruby code) 3) Embed ruby code to parse and format your variables into configuration See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/templating.html for a bit more about templates. -Brian On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 4:20 PM, Douglas Garstang doug.garst...@gmail.comwrote: All, I have a situation where I need to get some fairly complex configuration files onto systems, and I'm wondering if puppet can even do this.

Re: [Puppet Users] Variable number of variables in external node output...
Thanks, but I'm not sure templates will quite cut it. There is no way that I am aware of to iterate over all the variables obtained through an external node script, and put chunks into separate files. This falls outside the bounds of what embedded ruby can do. As for using define(), well, I am trying to separate the data from the manifest, and putting N number of defines in the manifests and passing values to it, breaks that. Doug.

[Puppet Users] Announcing a new committer, plans for adding committers, and new mailing list.
One of the things we're doing to try and increase the community involvement in developing, and guiding Puppet, Facter, and Puppet Dashboard is adding committers that fall under the category of people that don't work for Puppet Labs. Please welcome Stefan Schulte as our newest committer to Puppet! Stefan has consistently provided great feedback and work on both the implementation details, and higher-level design of many, many things both on the mailing lists, and in the Redmine ticketing system. We're very happy that he has decided to become a committer for the open source projects. We plan on increasing the number of people that don't work for Puppet Labs committers as time progresses (hopefully they'll end up the majority), but this will be a little slow to happen at first, since we're not currently setup to add very many new committers and get them all up to speed very quickly. As the committer pool increases, this should be less and less of an issue, and we should be able to better accommodate making sure new committers get any support they need. In addition to reviewing and commenting on code (which we encourage everyone to do, whether or not they are a committer), committers are able to merge the code that they have reviewed into the official repositories. All committers (including those employed by Puppet Labs) are still required to submit their own code as a pull request to have it reviewed and merged by another committer. In addition to adding Stefan as a committer to the open source projects, we've also setup a puppet-ci Google Group[1].

Greetings,
I'm having an issue with my implementation of exported resources. I
have a memcache server pool, and want to update the /etc/php.d/
memcache.ini with the ips of all the servers. Previously, I hard coded
the $memcacheservers array in the node manifest and the template
collected and populated the template.
Now that I'm moving to exported resouces, how do I get it to set an
array in a way I can access it from a different scope? I tried moving
the file { /etc/php.d/memcache.ini: content = template(memcache/
memcache.ini.erb) to the resource function (I understand exported
resources shoulld not define other resources), but it only populates
the first server collected, and complains about a duplicate resource
if I have more than 1 exported server.
I've tried defining the resource without the content the first time,
then override the define with the content, but that only picks up the
2nd server. I've tried accessing the variable that gets populated
after the Memcache::Servers | | but it doesn't get populated in
this scope. I've tried looking up the
scope.lookupvar('memcached::servers::memcacheservers') but the
exported resource is a define not a class and I couldn't get it to
work. I've tried just using a script to populate the file with the
proper contents, but there is no way to ensure it is filled with all
the servers, for example the script is executed out of order,
replaced 3 times if there are 3 servers, and may contain 1, 2, or 3
servers after a puppet run.
Any suggestions?
The way to do this with exported resources is for each node to export
a resource containing its own information only. The trick is choosing
the resource to use for this.
The simplest case would be if /etc/php.d/memcache.ini supports some
kind of 'include' directive, especially if it understands globs. Then
each server can export its own (distinctly-named) file intended for
inclusion, and the node(s) that collect them need only to put the
appropriate 'include' directive(s) into the main memcache.ini.
So you can't do this with your own defines as the resource?
I have various define calls like this:
users::normal { bob: id = 107, email = 'b...@bob.com' }
What I'm looking to do is collect all the emails into an array or
something so I can use them in a template.
I thought maybe I could make a define that does an array append or
something?
It sounds from what people are saying like there really isn't a
reasonable way to do this yet?
