Hello,

I have a class like:

class wrapper {
  include foo
  include bar
  include baz
}

And a node like:

node x {
  include someclass
  include wrapper
  Class[someclass]-Class[wrapper]
}

The class chaining in node x doesn't get respected. In irc I was
suggested there being a possibility of this being related to #8040.
Can anyone suggest if that indeed might be the case ? Is there a clear
process to tell if certain chaining of classes or resources would
mandate using anchors or not ? Just to be clear, there is no order
required in the classes inside the wrapper class. But just that to
ensure before any of these, the class someclass gets applied. Any
ideas, and possible approaches would be nice.

[Puppet Users] Re: performance of source vs template vs file



On Tuesday, October 9, 2012 9:45:42 AM UTC-5, Mihai Stan wrote:

 Hello everyone,

 I'm currently looking into using puppet to manage my homedir .dot files, 
 including .vim/ folder with a bunch of plugins totaling a few tens of files 
 (almost 100), in order to have a pleasant and productive working experience 
 on our organization's 500+ machines.

 While this looks like a cool thing to do, I can't help but wonder how will 
 this affect puppet's performance both on the masters' and agents' sides and 
 how good puppet is at distributing lots of infrequently updated files.

 My common sense tells me that from a performance point of view, I could 
 use the following methods, first in the list being the most recommended:

 file {
 content = file('file'),
 }

 file {
   source = puppet:///modules/...,
 }

 file {
   content = template('template.erb'),
 }


 Personally, I'd go with using file() function for distributing static 
 files and source = puppet:/// to manage directories recursively, which 
 would simplify the setup part a lot.


 Does anyone have a more in-depth insight into the performance of all these 
 methods ? Or, for that matter, why I shouldn't be doing the above as it 
 blows puppet performance in ways I can't comprehend ?


I would expect a bigger difference between using 'content' and using 
'source' than between specifying the content via file() and specifying it 
via template().  When you use 'content', the body of the target file is 
included in the catalog, whereas when you use 'source', the agent will 
request file content from the Puppet file server if it needs it.

For ~100 small files (= 1 KB on average, say), my gut tells me that 
'content' will win at least when there are more than a couple of changes, 
and that it will not lose too badly when there are few or none.

Certainly you should not use template() for completely static files, but 
when you do need it, you need it.

Managing directories recursively is a potential problem, but it really 
comes down more to the total number and combined size of the files you are 
managing.  Each file and directory adds memory and processing cost on both 
ends, and, separately, Puppet expends computing effort proportional to the 
total content size to compute hashes of file contents.

My expectation would be that for dotfiles, you will see acceptable 
performance any way around.  Nevertheless, as with any performance 
question, the only way to get a reliable answer is to test it.

 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib
  


As I found out recently (Dan Bode clarified this on Oct 4th) anchors should 
only be needed for nested classes, unless I've misinterpreted that. The 
problem above is that you are defining a relationship on your 'wrapper' 
class, but your wrapper class has no relationship with the classes it 
itself declares (feature of the 'include' syntax). I think this should work:

class wrapper { 
  include foo 
  include bar 
  include baz 
  Class[foo] - Class[wrapper]
  Class[bar] - Class[wrapper]
  Class[baz] - Class[wrapper]
} 

node x { 
  include someclass 
  include wrapper 
  Class[someclass]-Class[wrapper] 
} 

Or in your wrapper class you could change all the include statements to 
require statements, but then you are mixing two types of creating 
dependencies and personally I think it's purer to stay with the 
relationship chaining operators.

[Puppet Users] Using collections

2012-10-11 Thread Maarten Thibaut

Hi,

I'm trying to use collections as shown below. The files I wish to collect 
get populated on the client, so the puppetmaster doesn't know the contents. 
I.e. I need to push these files to the server, and then distribute them 
back to the clients:

@@file { /etc/ssh-keys.d/$hostname.pub:
tag = ssh_pub_keys,
require = Exec[copy_key],
}

File | tag == 'ssh_pub_keys' |

But this isn't working. Do collections only work for files where the 
puppetmaster provides the content?

If so, has anyone thought of any strategies to overcome this issue?

Thanks!

The way I've thought about collections is that they only work when the
compiler has the data you want in a variable and that variable is fed into
the resource's parameter value.

So the way I get data off the client and into the master is by using a
custom fact. The fact gets the data into a variable, then the variable is
used in the (exported) resource declaration.

Hope this helps,

Yes, this is a perfect example of when to employ the anchor pattern. It's
also a perfect example of the bug we need to fix in puppet.

Class foo, bar, an baz will float off in the relationship graph because
class wrapper contains no other resources to anchor them down.

If you add a begin an end anchor resources to class wrapper and establish
relationships between them and the three contained classes, it should work
as you expect

I will give a concrete example, if you wish, once I get to my desk.

 Hi list, 

 I've got an issue at the moment, which isn't really a big problem, but 
 an untidy annoyance really, and I'd just like to understand what the 
 best practice might be when dealing with the issue. 

 As a really quick summary, the issue is that Puppet is starting up the 
 mysqld service for the first time as unconfined_u, and then when MySQL 
 goes and creates a load of its initial files also as unconfined_u, 
 Puppet goes and resets them all to system_u which is what they should be 
 when checking matchpathcon: 

  
 Unless you configure it differently, Puppet uses the system's normal 
 service management commands to control services.  It is the responsibility 
 of that tool (e.g. /sbin/service) to start the service in the correct way, 
 including SELinux context, based on whatever criteria it uses to choose 
 such things.  Among other things, this means that you will get the same 
 result if Puppet starts the service as you would if the system 
 initialization program starts it at boot.
  
 by using runcon or run_init you are starting the service in the same 
 context that it will be started with at system boot by init.  /sbin/service 
 is not the correct way to start an selinux confined service technically, 
 although practically it makes little difference because user contexts are 
 not heavily used in the targeted selinux policy, unless users themselves 
 are confined, which they usually aren't.  Perhaps there should be an 
 selinux aware provider for services


Certainly Puppet's Linux-relevant providers should be SELinux-friendly, or 
else it should have a separate set of providers, and choose those 
automatically when it finds SELinux enabled.

My limited research suggests that at least on RedHat-family systems, 
/sbin/service is supposed to be the correct command to use to manage 
services even under SELinux; it is expected (at least by some) to start the 
target service in the right context.  Upon looking at the code (CentOS 5 
and CentOS 6), however, it does not appear to do anything special to take 
the SELinux context into account.  In effect, that delegates responsibility 
to the service control script.  That's not unreasonable, really; I would 
account it part of the control script's job to run the service in the 
correct context.

Now, RedHat-family Linuxes do have run_init, which leaves me a bit 
perplexed.  Moreover, its docs seem to indicate that it reads the context 
to use from /etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/initrc_context, and for my 
version of the targeted policy that file contains 
user_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0.  I don't think that would get you system_u, 
either.  In the end, therefore, I think on these systems it does still come 
down to the initscript's and / or the daemon's own job to run the daemon in 
the appropriate context.

If you are on a different Linux family, however, then you may have a more 
viable issue against Puppet.  On a lot of systems, including Debian and 
Gentoo, Puppet manages services by directly invoking the initscripts.  If 
there is a different command that Puppet should be using instead then I'm 
sure PuppetLabs would appreciate you filing a ticket to tell them about it.

In any event, I maintain that it would be inappropriate for Puppet to 
provide for explicitly setting the SELinux context to use for starting 
services.  The system initialization program -- whether init, upstart, or 
something else -- either knows somehow which context to use for each 
service, or else delegates to individual services' configurations to choose 
this.  Puppet should be able to do the same.

Moreover, I reiterate that the best solution would be to configure the 
service correctly in the first place.  If that's not viable (e.g. if it 
would require modifying the initscript and you are unwilling to do that) 
then you have the alternative of writing a custom provider for the Service 
type, and explicitly directing that provider to be used where needed in 
your Service declarations.  There are good base classes and a lot of 
examples of Service providers in the Puppet distribution, so I don't think 
that would be so hard.  You definitely should not need to come back and 
correct files' SELinux contexts after the fact.

Thank you for the response, an example for the wrapper class would
indeed be nice.

And although this might be a difficult question to give a generalized
(or rather, a slightly less technical) answer, but this behaviour of
floating off of the graph, is it easy to attribute this to particular
scenarios ? For example, as you noticed in the previous replies - Luke
suggested this for nested classes, while llowder thought this was a
perfect example, as so you ! :)

Also, @Luke, your suggestion to be explicit about the relationships like so:
class wrapper {
  include foo
  include bar
  class[foo]-Class[wrapper]
  class[bar]-Class[wrapper]
}

node x {
  include someclass
  include wrapper
  class[someclass]-Class[wrapper]
}

... didn't work. someclass was still applied after the wrapper
class's classes.

[Puppet Users] Automate adding new host to nagios server?

2012-10-11 Thread Brent Clark


Good day

I was wondering if someone could help me.

Say I have three servers. One puppet master, one webserver, and one nagios 
server.

Is there a way to automate the process of adding the web server to the nagios 
server for monitoring via a puppet.

If someone could assists, or suggest a better means, it would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

The client should download the kernel, then download an initrd, and then
boot a full Linux environment and run in it. You should see the usual
(verbose) Linux boot sequence progress through.

well, my razor test server is a virtualbox guest bridged to the lan.
The virtual host box is connected by wire.

My initial test client was a vmware guest on my laptop which is
connected per wlan.

I tried a virtualbox guest instead on my laptop with similar experience.
It downloaded the kernel but hangs at the initrd.

i tried a virtualbox guest on the same host as the razor server is and
the kernel boots and registers with razor.

So I got something to work with at least, in a limited scope for now,
though.

Hrm. That seems to point fairly squarely to some oddity at the network
layer: sending those files is pretty close to static file serving. If you
could capture a packet trace to figure out what was happening that would be
great.

Thank You, hoping that the puppet mailing list is the appropiate media
for questions about razor.

Yes, it is - no problems there. :)

[Puppet Users] PuppetDB/Hiera post-install verification??

2012-10-11 Thread Worker Bee

Hi Everyone;

Can anyone suggest any post installationtests to verify the functionality
of both puppetdb (using postgres) and hiera?
I am a somewhat nbew user and I am not really sure what a good, quick
method is to verify the functionality pst install.

If anyone could suggest steps/test cases, that would be greatly
apprecaited!  I also think this would be useful to include as a section in
the installation docs.

Thanks!

Re: [Puppet Users] Error while installing puppet

Did you build your own Ruby and forget to compile the openssl ruby bindings
into MRI?  I've certainly done this and forgot to compile against OpenSSL
which caused this error.

If you're building your own ruby, I strongly recommend using a build tool
like rbenv [1] and ruby-build [2] to get a consistent build.

Also, I strongly encourage you _not_ to use install.rb.  These days,
install.rb is really meant for package maintainers instead of end users.
 I'd recommend using a package from {apt,yum,downloads}.puppetlabs.com,
your distribution, or rubygems.org.

You'll want to use the `creates` parameter so that the exec will only
run if that file doesn't exist. See
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#exec

Since that path is in the windows system directory, be careful of
Windows filesystem redirection. You may need to specify the path as
`c:/windows/sysnative/...` See

Re: [Puppet Users] expiry attribut of users applied every time

Nicholas,

An easy way to reproduce the problem is to run `puppet resource` a number
of consecutive times.  We expect subsequent executions of Puppet to be
idempotent, but they're clearly not:

root@puppetmaster:~# puppet resource user jefftest expiry=2012-01-01
/User[jefftest]/expiry: defined 'expiry' as '2012-01-01'
user { 'jefftest':
  ensure = 'present',
}
root@puppetmaster:~# puppet resource user jefftest expiry=2012-01-01
/User[jefftest]/expiry: defined 'expiry' as '2012-01-01'
user { 'jefftest':
  ensure = 'present',
}
root@puppetmaster:~# puppet resource user jefftest expiry=2012-01-01
/User[jefftest]/expiry: defined 'expiry' as '2012-01-01'
user { 'jefftest':
  ensure = 'present',
}

A common trick I employ in situations like these is to run with debugging
turned on.  This should display the value Puppet thinks the parameter
_should_ be, which is what we specify in the manifest or on the command
line, versus what the parameter _is_ on the system.  If they mis-match,
then I change my manifest to match the is value and that usually makes
Puppet idempotent again.

Unfortunately, in this case we're not getting the is values in the debug
output.  =(

root@puppetmaster:~# puppet resource user jefftest expiry=2012-01-01 --debug
Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderLdap: true value when expecting false
Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderPw: file pw does not exist
Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderUser_role_add: file roleadd does not
exist
Debug: Puppet::Type::User::ProviderDirectoryservice: file /usr/bin/dscl
does not exist
Debug: Loaded state in 0.00 seconds
Debug: Executing '/usr/sbin/usermod -e 2012-01-01 jefftest'
/User[jefftest]/expiry: defined 'expiry' as '2012-01-01'
Debug: Finishing transaction 70035535867960
Debug: Storing state
Debug: Stored state in 0.00 seconds
user { 'jefftest':
  ensure = 'present',
}

So then I dive into the ruby debugger.  I used ack to search for defined
' in the l ib/ directory and came up with this:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/3.0.x/lib/puppet/property.rb#L104-106

So Puppet is thinking the current value from the system is totally absent.
 We can't make this idempotent as a result.  This is definitely a bug,
would you mind filing it?  If so, I'd be happy to do so on your behalf, but
bugs from users are always better than bugs I report.

Please feel free to add me as a watcher, I'll update it with the
information I found.

Hope this helps,
-Jeff

[Puppet Users] Re: puppet facts.d executable PROBLEM

2012-10-11 Thread Ellison Marks

The facter dot d plugin is probably in a little bit of flux right now. I 
know it was included in the puppet stdlib module for a while, but it 
apparently was recently removed from there(commit 
8fc00ea5b6b39b220ebc6391489915dbeeb364ab). R.I.P's version is what the 
stdlib version was based on, and is a little on the old side now, I 
believe, which could be why part of it was commented. I'm not sure if there 
are plans to include that plugin in a more core role in the future, perhaps 
one of the puppet team could comment on that.

 https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts/tree/master/facts-dot-d
 and I can't get a fact out of a simple shell script. YAML TXT JSON works 
 well

 My little shell script testfact.sh looks like

 #!/bin/bash
 echo TEST=NOT WORKING

 made it executable
 chmod +x testfact.sh

 made a puppet agent -t to read the new fact

 BUT 
 $facter --puppet 
 is not getting the fact

 Thanx a lot!

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Wrapper classes, ordering anchors

 And although this might be a difficult question to give a generalized

Yes.  When one class declares another, whether via the 'include' or 
'require' function or via a parametrized-style declaration, that 
(intentionally) does not establish any ordering relationship between the 
declaring and declared classes.  Without something else, such as anchors, 
to establish an order between them, the two classes are disconnected in the 
relationship graph; that has come to be described as the declared class 
floating off, especially when the declaring class is connected to 
multiple others in the relationship graph.

Such disconnectedness is not necessarily a problem, because it may indeed 
be that no relative ordering of the classes involved is necessary or 
expected.  If, however, the purpose of the one class declaring the other is 
to aggregate the latter into a larger unit, then it is a indeed an issue 
that needs to be addressed.  That's where you need to use the anchor 
pattern.

[Puppet Users] Nagios

I've got a Nagios setup with puppet to add nodes/contacts/command running at

manifests, but I'm getting this error:

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Help- Parsing data from a yaml file using puppet 3.0 and hiera

2012-10-11 Thread Nishant Jain

Thanks Everybody, I got it working, but am still not able to read the array 
using hiera. It always read the last element of the array.
For example in the following global.yaml file:-
---
 users:
   - 'seventeen'
   - 'eighteen'


when i write hiera('users') and print it as a content it a file, It always 
write eighteen in the file, instead of seventeen , eighteen.


It always read the last value, i.e. eighteen.

Any idea how I can make it read the whole array.


Thanks,
Nishant

Re: [Puppet Users] always changing sshkeys

 I have a setup where I construct the host_aliases of sshkey. This work
 fine. But now I encounter that several (not all) keys are changed every

 host_aliases changed 'XX257.257.257.257' to  'XX 257.257.257.257'
 
 I changed the name part to Xes and the IP to 257.257.257.257, but they
 are the correct IP and name of one host.
 
 So why is this happening? Except from the fact that the first output is
 not separated by space and the second is. (In the file
 /etc/ssh/sshd_known_hosts all entries are separated correctly by coma.)
 
 It seems not have to do with versions of puppet. I use versions 2.7.6,
 2.6.16, 0.25.4 and 2.7.11.
 
 I tried to debug this to find where the decision is made to replace an
 entry but failed to find.
 
 Any Idea?
 

It's a bit hard to debug your problem without seeing the actual line in
your /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file. If you dont want to paste it please
do this:

extract the complete line from the target file. Now run

  # irb
  irb line = 'your actual line'
  irb fields = line.split(/\s+/)
  # you should now see an array. The first item should be hostname and
  # all aliases
  irb name = fields[0]
  irb name.split(',')

What do you see after executing the last line? You should see something
like [ name, host_alias1, host_alias2 ]

[Puppet Users] Facter not parsing puppet_enterprise_installer.txt

I have 2 puppet clients, 1 works, and 1 doesn't.

When I run facter, I get this line on the working one: 
Parsing /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_installer.txt

but it doesn't show up on the broken client. 

How can I make facter parse that file?

 Subject: [Puppet Users] Re: puppet facts.d executable PROBLEM

 The facter dot d plugin is probably in a little bit of flux right
 now. I know it was included in the puppet stdlib module for a while,
 but it apparently was recently removed from there(commit
 8fc00ea5b6b39b220ebc6391489915dbeeb364ab) . R.I.P's version is what
 the stdlib version was based on, and is a little on the old side
 now, I believe, which could be why part of it was commented. I'm not
 sure if there are plans to include that plugin in a more core role
 in the future, perhaps one of the puppet team could comment on that.

the released version of puppetlabs-stdlib on the puppet forge still has
the facts.d plugin included and its newer than mine - based on mine but
improved.

facter 2 will have it merged with it and the stdlib will then remove 
facts.d properly

 There are lots of ways you could do this, but the the ready-built 
 fqdn_rotate() function in Puppetlabs's add-in stdlib module (
 https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib) would probably serve as 
 a good foundation.  Put the NIS server IPs in an array, shuffle it with 
 fqdn_rand(), and read the results out into your yp.conf template.  Each 
 node will have a consistent order as long as its FQDN does not change.

[Puppet Users] Noob setting up, hitting SSL Errors

And I get the following from the masterhttp.log on the master:

At first I was running ruby 1.9.2 but then read this:

I tried to follow the instructions on that post and when that didn't work I 
rvm installed 1.8.7 and still no luck.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Wrapper classes, ordering anchors

Hello John,

 Yes.  When one class declares another, whether via the 'include' or

Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. I suppose containing
resources is a fundamentally solved problem by virtue of the design
and goal, but containing classes seems to be a little different.
Nevertheless, I always do try to not having to enforce any order, but
at times, I suppose it becomes necessary. Thanks again for taking the
time to explain the behaviour.

 Hello John,

  Yes.  When one class declares another, whether via the 'include' or
  'require' function or via a parametrized-style declaration, that
  (intentionally) does not establish any ordering relationship
  between the
  declaring and declared classes.  Without something else, such as
  anchors, to
  establish an order between them, the two classes are disconnected
  in the
  relationship graph; that has come to be described as the declared
  class
  floating off, especially when the declaring class is connected to
  multiple
  others in the relationship graph.

  Such disconnectedness is not necessarily a problem, because it may
  indeed be
  that no relative ordering of the classes involved is necessary or
  expected.
  If, however, the purpose of the one class declaring the other is to
  aggregate the latter into a larger unit, then it is a indeed an
  issue that
  needs to be addressed.  That's where you need to use the anchor
  pattern.

 Thanks for the explanation, much appreciated. I suppose containing
 resources is a fundamentally solved problem by virtue of the design
 and goal, but containing classes seems to be a little different.
 Nevertheless, I always do try to not having to enforce any order, but
 at times, I suppose it becomes necessary. Thanks again for taking the
 time to explain the behaviour.

i find the anchor pattern both a royal pain and too strict, i dont generally
care to bind classes between two resources but instead just before some 
resource or class

class wrapper {
   include one, two, three

   Class[one] - Class[two] - Class[three] - Class[wrapper]
}

at this point 'include wrapper' will have those 3 classes and their 
resources completed before anything that requires the wrapper class

this is often sufficient enough and satisfies 'just enough ordering hints'
to me.

I suppose this is similar to what Luke suggested, that is:

  include foo
  include bar
  Class[foo]-Class[wrapper]
  Class[bar]-Class[wrapper]
}

But that didn't work for me if I tried to make sure some class is
executed before the wrapper class. node x { class xyz;
class[xyz]-Class[wrapper] }

Except that I did not try Class[foo]-Class[bar]-Class[wrapper]
in the wrapper class ( because there isn't any relationship between
foo  bar ). So, maybe I am missing something in your approach ?

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Dashboard won't install MySQL schema

2012-10-11 Thread Jo Rhett

I suspect you have an incorrect environment variable somewhere: you have lib 
being a subdirectory of lib, and there's no directory delayed.  That's the 
problem. The path to that library is actually 
~puppet-dashboard/vendor/rails/railties/lib/tasks/rails.rb

I am using the exact same environment you listed, exact same versions from RPMs 
as you listed. No problems.

Are you certain you don't have local gems installed as well which are confusing 
the issue?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Wrapper classes, ordering anchors

Weird, the only difference is I didn't define any relationship between
one, two, three, but made them all depend on wrapper individually, and
then in the node def, made the wrapper depend on some other class -
and it didn't work. Probably a bug (2.7.19 client and 2.7.11 server) ?

[Puppet Users] Still fighting with tidy

2012-10-11 Thread Dan White

Either puppet-resource-type tidy is busted or I do not properly understand 
its use.

Red Had Enterprise Linux 5.8 server (x86_64)
I am seeing this behavior on both Puppet 2.6.17 and 2.7.19

I want to tidy up a path -- let's say /volume/foo/bar/  (bar is a directory)

The resource definition is:

tidy { '/volume/foo/bar/':
age = '0', 
recurse = true,
rmdirs  = true,
}

To test it, I do the following

cd /volume/foo/bar/
mkdir 1 2 3 4 5 6
touch 1/a 2/b 3/c 4/d 5/e 6/f 6/g

then I run puppet.
It deletes all the touched files (a, b, c, d, e, f, g)

Now for The Problem:
When I run puppet again, I am expecting the empty directories ( 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 
6/ ) to get deleted.
They are not removed.  Even though the rmdirs parameter is set to true.

Is this the way tidy is supposed to work ?

Hi, it works with code like in your paste. But check this out :

 Hi, it works with code like in your paste. But check this out :
 http://pastie.org/5037832, the original situation I found myself in,
 and you can see the floating off behaviour again.

yes, our method does not constrain the left of the relationship
only the right - ie. classes before the wrapper class but at any
time before the wrapper class

if you then insert another class before the wrapper you dont have
a guarantee where in the graph it gets inserted.

In this specific case you could just swap the chain around putting
the classes after the wrapper

Class[wrapper] - Class[three] - Class[two] - Class[one] 

or whatever.

The difference between the two is:

for the anchor pattern as per Jeff:

before anchor classes after anchor

the simpler one:

classes wrapper as anchor

or

wrapper as anchor classes

its less strict and I prefer this because if you're overdoing
the require hints you're just really turning puppet into a bash
script

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Wrapper classes, ordering anchors

Thanks for illustrating the difference in the approaches which govern
the placement of a class in the catalog graph. And indeed, it was only
my unassuming intuition about chaining (and unawareness of #8040) that
led me to think of simplifying some of the the code to use class
chaining. Nevertheless will keep all the mentioned points  opinions
in mind, they've been helpful to understand this behaviour better.

Because you are saying that Class[abc] should be done *before*
Class[wrapper] and Class[three,two,one] should also be done *before*
Class[wrapper]. That does not imply any relationship between Class[abc]
and Class[three,two,one].

The example that was mentioned earlier does only work when you specify
that Class[abc] depends on Class[wrapper] because then you define that
Class[one,two,three] should run *before* Class[wrapper] and Class[abc]
should run *after* Class[wrapper]. That does indeed imply a relationship
between Class[one,two,three] and Class[abc].

So to let your example work

class 'wrapper' {
  include one,two,three
  
  Class['wrapper']-Class['one']
  Class['wrapper']-Class['two']
  Class['wrapper']-Class['three']
}

class 'abc' {
}

class 'xyz' {
  include abc
  include wrapper
  Class['abc']-Class['wrapper']
}

[Puppet Users] Massive increase in compilation time?

2012-10-11 Thread Brian Rak

Today I upgraded Foreman on my Puppet master.  Doing so also upgraded some 
ruby libs, which seems to have killed the performance of my puppet master.

Before the upgrade, I was seeing compilation times of around 15s.  After 
the upgrade, it's 80-90s. 

What ruby modules or other configuration items would cause massive changes 
like this? I should note that none of my manifests changed during the 
upgrade.

I'm running 2.7.18 on the clients and master.

I'm not even sure where to start debugging this, any suggestions?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Wrapper classes, ordering anchors

Ah ! Having come across this before in my resource dependencies with
normal types (just correlating with some of the modules), this makes
it even clearer, thanks.

That's how I do it as well.
It's extremely amazing once you get it setup right.

On a side note I am intending to put my nagios modules on github
soonish so if you are willing to wait that may be an option for you.

 Subject: [Puppet Users] Automate adding new host to nagios server?

 Good day

 I was wondering if someone could help me.

 Say I have three servers. One puppet master, one webserver, and one nagios 
 server.

 Is there a way to automate the process of adding the web server to the nagios 
 server for monitoring via a puppet.

 If someone could assists, or suggest a better means, it would be appreciated.

 Kind Regards
 Brent Clark
