Hi all, my name is Arnau Bria and I'm a sys admin in a center where we must deal with hundred hosts. We're currently working with quattor, but it's too complex for our purposes, so I'm looking for new admin tool.
I've been playing with CFengine for few days (2 or 3) and I've seen some limitations that makes me thing that CFE is not our solution. So now, I've met puppet and I'd like to test it, but before playing with it, I'd like to ask for the main problems I saw in CFE and try to save some time. 1.-) RPM. In CFE I wanted to use "yum install", "yum group install" and "rpm -Uvh" in same host group (or class), but for different packages/metapackages. I was no able, and I think, for replies I got from list, I will not... So, is puppet able to use many rpm install commands in same host? *Did not find the answer here: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/TypeReference#package 2.-) CFE logs are crazy... I need syslog or nagios and parse them myself... I've seen: http://www.devco.net/pubwiki/Puppet/PuppetView and looks very nice, but has puppet a sumary of what has done in the client with a simple "OK" or "KO"? (Obviously I won't say ok or ko, but maybe it could say if all steps when fine or not..) So, could someone answer these questions? I'm really interested in using this software!
