Issue #8940 has been updated by Ryan DeShone.
Has there been any further progress on this? I am in a setup where we have servers connected to multiple private networks. I'd like them to be able to export a host entry for each network they are connected to, then have it collected by the other machines on that network. Right now, this is preventing me from being able to do so. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8940: host type should have an optional canonical_hostname parameter https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8940#change-97669 * Author: Rob Terhaar * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Franz Pletz * Category: host * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- If you compare the behavior of the Exec type to the Host type, Exec is more flexible because it has a command => parameter. This is useful if you would like to create multiple Execs with different namevars, but similar commands. When working with the Host type, I've found that the namevar becomes the "canonical_hostname", and there is no way to override this. Here's a specific example of when having multiple Host resources with the same namevar would be useful: <pre> @@host { "$fqdn": host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $private_ip_interface, tag => "normal_server_private-${region}", } @@host { "${fqdn}": host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $public_ip_interface, tag => "normal_server_public-${region}", } </pre> Since both exported resources have the same namevar, I receive a parse error: <pre>Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate definition: Host[puppet.dev.server.com] is already defined in file /etc/puppet/modules/hosts/manifests/collect.pp at line 33; cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/modules/hosts/manifests/collect.pp:43 on node puppet.dev.server.com</pre> However, If the Host type had the ability to pass a canonical hostname (fqdn) argument, I could do: <pre> @@host { "${fqdn}-private": canonical_hostname => $fqdn host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $private_ip_interface, tag => "normal_server_private-${region}", } @@host { "${fqdn}-public": canonical_hostname => $fqdn host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $public_ip_interface, tag => "normal_server_public-${region}", } </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
