Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Which version of Puppet am I using?

You should be able to roll Puppetboard back to an earlier version that
supports PuppetDB 2.x...

Glad I could help though...

PuppetDB v3 is only compatible with Puppet v4, which I cannot upgrade to it

Some issue with newer version of puppetboard module, I suppose, which seems
require puppetDB v3

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet first run issue: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed when searching for node

Afraid I can't help on that one, as haven't used AWS.

There might be some additional features in a more recent version of Foreman
that will assist...

 What Rob said...

 This error is fairly typical if you're using something like Foreman as
 an ENC, and not creating the node in Foreman before the first Puppet run.

 Basically, whatever your ENC is needs to "know" about the node before
 it first dials in...

Re: [Puppet Users] Managing config files...

Felik

Cheers for taking the time to reply...

I've been trying to work up a Augeas lense to support jre.properties, but
dont seem to be having much luck... Seems like there's a bit of a black art
to writing them...

I'm in two minds about wrapper.conf. I've got it templates currently, but
like you say I'm not sure how to best handle the existing default values
plus any new values that might be needed... Or perhaps I just don't support
overriding existing values.. Though that feels like a bit of a short cut to
me...

Anyone else?

 *jre.properties*[3] strikes me as the most troublesome initially, due to

 My initial thought is to provide a type that can manage the file, and
 possibly use Augeas to manage the file. Happy for other suggestions though
 :)


 If I'd need Puppet to manage that, I'd likely want to be able to manage
 each LeftHandSide/ListElement pair via ensure. I.e., I don't want to
 enumerate the full lists in manifest or hiera, but just want to make sure
 distinct elements are there ore not.

 *wrapper.conf*[4] looks like it should be fairly easy to template. The
 only thing I'm not sure on is how to handle the incrementing nature of the
 param lines...
 I'd like to keep the number of resource params as light as possible, as
 there's no way I can expose all the possible config lines, so I'm thinking
 maybe use an array for each 'set' of config lines, e.g.
 'wrapper.java.classpath' and 'wrapper.java.additional'... But then how do I
 handle over-riding pre-existing config values? Is there a better way to
 handle this file?


 I think you rather mean - how to *keep* existing values and only manage
 certain entries of the array.
 I fear that won't work. And I concur that arrays would be a good choice
 here. Perhaps an alternative API that takes an index/value hash instead
 would be useful to some, but seems like abysimal mileage to me.

 I haven't dabbled in augeasproviders yet (which is a shame), but imagine
 that it would be a good approach for both files (unless of course the
 latter can just be templated).

 Cheers,
 Felix

[Puppet Users] Breaking changes in Puppetlabs_spec_helper v0.5.0

2014-06-09 Thread fatmcgav 
Afternoon all,

Just thought I'd make the lists aware of an issue I hit with
puppetlabs_spec_helper v0.5.0 today.

It would appear that changes committed in [1] results in the dropping of
mocha as a dependency, and therefore any tests depending on mocha failing.
The error I was seeing was:

Failure/Error: Puppet::Type.type(:application).stubs(:defaultprovider).returns
described_class

NoMethodError:

undefined method `stubs' for Puppet::Type::Application:Class

# ./spec/unit/puppet/provider/application/asadmin_spec.rb:6
A work-around for me was to pin puppetlabs_spec_helper to v0.4.x. [2]

Hopefully this will prevent un-necessary time-wastage for anyone else :)

Also, as a general comment to PL - Is it possible to get some advance
notice of breaking changes such as this?
As this could potentially have been prevented by a release email stating
the breaking nature of the changes, and prompting users to ensure they are
pinning versions as appropriate.

Thanks for the assistance of igalic and _rc on #puppet-dev.

Cheers
Gavin

Re: [Puppet Users] Rspec-puppet and testing for expected failures...

Quick update...

Many thanks to @superseb for working up a PR[1] that fixes the expect
errors. Trick was to use 'subject' within the expect, rather than a
resource title...

@superseb also highlighted an old Puppet bug[2] which I've migrated across
to Jira[3] for review/decision.
However as per the notes on Redmine, I should be able to work around said
bug by using a case statement rather then the tenary operator...

Onwards and upwards.

[Puppet Users] New release of fatmcgav-netapp module.

2013-09-30 Thread fatmcgav 
Evening all,

Thought I'd drop a quick line through to say that I have just released
v0.4.0 of my Netapp network device module.

A full changelog can be found on the Forge [1] or Git [2], however the
highlights are:
 * Removed the need for a special config file to define username/password.
Now pulled from connect string.
N.B: This will not work with existing configuration, so will require config
tweaks before usage.
 * Support for NetApp Quotas
 * Re-factored a lot of code to use helper functions
 * Loads of new tests

Massive thanks to Stefan Schulte for a lot of the code changes that have
made it into this release.

As always, feel free to drop me a line or respond to this message with any
questions/issues.

Cheers again.
Gavin

 Hi there,

 I think you're quickest win for making the code cleaner and easier would
 be to create a ::params class, which sets the correct values for package,

 Can then inherit this class on your ::install, ::config and ::service

 I'm sure other people will chime in with some other ideas aswell :)

 Hello all,

 I am trying to write a syslog module for our small puppet installation.
 Since I'd like to learn how to write puppet classes/modules I would avoid

 This module is going to be deployed on RH 5 _and_ 6.
 In our infrastructure each RH line (5 or 6) is configured differently:
 RH 5 uses sysklogd, RH 6 uses rsyslog.

 I have written a class but as you can see it has a lot of redundant code.
 Can I use any puppet syntax to make it more elegant (and easier to
 maintain :-) ) ?
 Can you suggest anything ?

 class syslog::install {

 Cheers for the response.

 I've added another file to the gist - https://gist.github.com/**
 fatmcgav/4722199#file-oracle-**pphttps://gist.github.com/fatmcgav/4722199#file-oracle-pp.
 This is a snippet from the top-level manifest that is responsible for
 calling the *'remove' *define using *'create_resources'*.


 Well, you certainly do have more relationships than you need, and
 generally speaking, more than you need is more than you want.  It is not
 immediately evident to me why some of the dependencies are being generated,
 but you should start by removing all unnecessary relationships.

 In particular, there is no need to have relationships among the 
 variousact::util::linux::nfs_mount instances, because it doesn't matter in 
 what
 relative order these are applied.  Furthermore, not all of them even depend
 on the $tier1_prefix directory, because some of the mount points are
 elsewhere.

 I don't know about File[${oracle_sid}_profile], Oranfstab[$oracle_sid],
 and Oratab[$oracle_sid], but surely each of these depends on AT MOST one
 of the *::nfs_mount resources.  Where there is such a dependency, declare
 that and only that.  Alternatively move all the *::nfs_mount mount
 resources to a separate defined type, 
 maybeact::env::oracle::instance::netapp::mount, and declare dependencies to 
 that.

 Consider also declaring your relationships via the 'before' and / or
 'require' resource metaparameters instead of via the chain operator.  It *
 shouldn't* make a difference, but perhaps you have stumbled on a bug.

 You do have some needed relationships in there, but it looks like you've
 spent a lot of effort mostly to bracket the operations with Preparing to
 remove ... and Removed ... messages.  That's your prerogative, of
 course, but do you realize that nothing you've written prevents other
 resources from elsewhere being applied between the ones in your chain?  If
 you have a large catalog then that's in fact likely to happen, so your
 notification messages have the potential to be deceptive.

 In principle, you can redirect appropriate canned responses into the
 command's standard input. I don't recall offhand whether Puppet's built-in
 executor facilities support that directly, but you can always wrap up
 something like that in a 'bash -c' command.

 It would be far better, however, if the configuration program were built
 to be scriptable (i.e. to not require interactive I/O).  For one thing,
 does your installer prompt for a password even when it is run by root
 (which is what the agent will do in the usual configuration)?  Does it
 support command-line options by which you can bypass any other QA?

  Parse_databases() is a custom function within one of my modules..

 And I assume that the module that defines/declares parse_databases()
 is 'include'd just above this snippet?  Not that I'm sure it will
 change things.  If not...

 As $db_details is only used by the parse_databases() function (in this
 snippet), is it possible to move the call to loadyaml() within the
 function itself?  I've assumed you need $db_details further on outside
 of the code you showed here, but thought I'd suggest the bleeding
 obvious, just in case :-)

 Afternoon all,

 I'm currently working on adding oranfstab support to Puppet-Oracle (
 https://github.com/stschulte/**puppet-oraclehttps://github.com/stschulte/puppet-oracle).


 However I'm struggling to get my head around how I can get Puppet
 parsedfile to work with multi-line configurations...

 An example oranfstab configuration block is:
 server: stgasm === NFS server Host name
 path: 10.177.52.158 --- First path to NFS server ie NFS server NIC
 local: 10.177.52.151 --- First client-side NIC
 path: 10.177.52.159 --- Second path to NFS server ie NFS server NIC
 (For load balance purpose)
 local: 10.177.52.151 --- Second client-side NIC (For load balance
 purpose)
 export: /oraclenfs mount: /oradata1

 'path' and 'local' are optional, but can be specified multiple times
 aswell...
 The final 'export' line is required, and can be provided multiple times
 for multiple mount points..

 So as you can see, there's a fair amount of variability in the file
 format...

 It's also then possible to have multiple 'server/path/local/export'
 blocks, for example with different filers...

 Any ideas on where I could begin? Is parsedfile right for the job, or am
 I better looking elsewhere?

 Thank you in advance for any responses.

 Gavin

Cheers for the response.

Network device management is being achieved using Puppet's new 'Network
Device' support as part of 3.0...

Site to site connectivity isn't an issue, as we've got a 100Mbps MPLS link
between all 3... However it was more about security and the practicality of
allowing the Puppet master effectively unlimited access to all sites...

 Afternoon all

 We are starting to look at using Puppet Network device support in anger,
 and one of the potential issues that has been raised is around cross-site
 access...

 Currently, we have one Puppet master server, which is hosted in location
 C.
 This server is able to access and manage the appropriate network devices
 in location C.

 However there are other devices in locations A and B which we want to be
 able to manage through Puppet. However some potential concerns have been
 raised around allowing the puppet master server blanket access to locations
 A  B...

 Is it possible therefore to run the network devices in effectively a
 'proxy' mode. That is, we create/nominate a suitable node in locations A
 and B which would be able to manage network devices in their respective
 locations, and these nodes then talk back to the Puppet master.

 Does this sound sensible?

 Any other considerations/ideas as to how the above can achieve?


 I have no idea how you are achieving the network device configuration but
 a setting up a VPN between the master and locations b and c seems like the
 best way to do it.
 That would give you centralised management and security as well.
 I would suggest using some kind of ssl wrapped vpn like openvpn or ipsec
 or something like that.

 I did find this module on puppet forge for managing openvpn
 https://forge.puppetlabs.com/luxflux/openvpn

 Hope that helps.

 My nagios module needs some rewriting before I will be happy releasing it.
 The nrpe module is pretty much good to go though.
 It can also use sudo, also managed by another module I have (Yeah I have a
 lot olf modules and most of them talk to other modules I wrote)

 I am going start putting my stuff on github and puppet forge as soon as I
 have them ready.

 Are you interested in being a guinea pig?

 Morning all

 I've had a quick google, but couldn't find anything useful for our
 scenario...

 Basically, we use Nagios  NRPE in our environment, along with a
 hand-full of in-house written plugins specific to our applications etc...
 These scripts change on a fairly regular basis, so hand rolling a RPM
 each time is too much work as far as i'm concerned...

 So I can easily get NRPE installed on a node using Puppet... However what
 I'm struggling with is getting all the plugins synced over aswell...

 One suggestion I read was to use a file resource, however I've also read
 about severe performance issues when working with tens of files...
 I dont really want to have to create some kind of NFS file share to
 distribute the files...

 So, any other ideas?

 Cheers
 Gavin

 P.S. Env consists of a single 3.0 Puppet Master, currently with about a
 dozen nodes connected, but this will rapidly increase once we start full
 roll-out...

 What you continue to miss is that you are treating all the options as a
 single property.  That's ok, but it means that at the level of the resource
 / provider interface, Puppet cannot set individual options, only all of
 them as a group.  You can't have it both ways.

 Inside your provider, however, you can implement the interface to the
 underlying tool any way you want.  In particular, in your options=
 function, you can look at the current value and the value being set,
 extract the changes, and apply only those.  I guess you were trying to do
 something like that in your insync? function, but if you're doing something
 like that then options= is probably where it should go.

 That's not just a good alternative, it's the right way to do it.  The job
 of insync? is simply to determine whether all of the resource's properties
 have the expected target values.  No more, no less.  The job of property
 setter methods such as options= is to update the underlying resource(*) so
 that the affected property has the assigned value.  It is there, at the
 interface between Puppet and the system, that you have flexibility.

 (*) The property setters of providers that implement flush() work a bit
 differently, but I don't think that's relevant here.  I mention it for
 completeness.

Nan

Cheers again for the info...

Now I think more about it, you may well be right in that it should be part
of the netapp_volume provider...

However I'm not sure that having individual params/properties for each
volume option is the right way - The list of possible volume options
currently stands at 36.. I don't really fancy having to implement a
param/property for each of those... However I could see a single 'options'
hash param/prop working for that... Although then I'm back to the same
challenge of making sure each volume option is set  maintained
correctly...

The other challenge is that to set volume options is a different webservice
call to the volume-list/volume-create method, but I'm guessing I can just
get that handled with another def in the provider...

Thoughts?

Cheers
Gav

 I'm not sure why netapp_volume_options is a separate resource. You are
 already managing the volume state in netapp_volume, and all netapp volume
 options should be properties in netapp_volume instead.

 Think you're right in that I'm trying to treat the options as a whole,
 rather than individual items...


 The resource seems to make more sense modeled as:

 netapp_volume { 'example':
   ensure = present,
   initsize = '2GB',
   convert_ucode = 'on',
   no_atime_update = 'on',
 }

 The provider exists? method should simply return true if the volume is
 present and it should not compare the property values (that's what Puppet
 does for you). One key difference is volume options should be newproperty.
 So far you implemented all attributes as parameters, and puppet will not
 retrieve and compare parameter values (i.e. it will not call
 initsize/initsize= method).

 The convert_ucode method return the option value. and convert_ucode=
 method updates the setting.


 Am I better off moving to a prefetch/flush style provider, rather than
 the getter/setting method?


 I would avoid prefetch/flush until you have the provider working with
 individual get/set first.

 Thanks,

 Nan

Cheers for the response.

As per my other threads, I'm writing a NetApp Network device module for
Puppet.

One of the functions required is the ability to set 'options' against a
given volume.
What I want to do is create a provider that accepts a volume name and a
list of volume options with their corresponding settings, and then iterate
through the provided list making a webservice call for each option.

So to give a better example of the provider in pastebin:
netapp_volume_options { 'v_puppet_test12111508':
options = ['convert_ucode=on', 'no_atime_update=on'],
}

Have just pushed my latest code to Github here:
https://github.com/fatmcgav/fatmcgav-netapp/tree/master/lib/puppet/provider/netapp_volume_options

I did manage to get it working after a bit of googling... However am happy
to take suggestions if there is a better method :)

 I can't see your code because pastebin is blocked to me, but I may be able
 to give you some advice anyway:

1. You can pass an array of key=value pairs as a parameter to a
provider, and the provider can parse it any way you like.
2. BUT you should not try to populate *other* parameters' values that
way.  If you define a parameter that accepts a complex, structured value,
then the entire value belongs to the parameter to which it is assigned.
3. Wouldn't a hash be a better fit to the data than an array of
key/value pairs anyway?

 What are you trying to achieve by this approach?  There is likely a better
 way.

 Yeah this seems to make more sense as a hash:

 options = { 'convert_ucode' = 'on', 'no_atime_update' = 'on' }

 I'm assuming this is just parameter, if it's a property add the following
 method to the type and you should get a reasonable output:

 def should_to_s(v)
   v.inspect
 end

 def is_to_s(v)

 Quick question on the create - how will it handle one property that

 You need a hash diff between current values and desired values and iterate
 through the difference. Hash properties are a bit more work, because the
 retrieve method may return more options than you care to set. You have the
 option to either munge and include default value to the user supplied
 value, or override insync? method so the comparison operation does not
 invoke option= method if the user specified value is a subset of the return
 hash from the option method.

 Alternatively if you only have a short number of options, you can just
 implement them as properties instead.

[Puppet Users] Puppet Oracle Database config management

2012-10-24 Thread fatmcgav 
Afternoon all.

I've been reading around on Puppet and Oracle, and have come up with a few
links that suggest how to get Oracle installed and base configured, which
has got me started in the right direction on that.

My next challenge is maintaining Oracle database specific configuration on
the relevant hosts. This contains various elements, such as /etc/oratab,
/etc/oranfstab (as we're using dNFS), various NFS mounts required for a
given database, and a few other bits and pieces...
Ideally, it would be a 1-to-1 relationship between a given host and a given
DB. However that's unlikely in our env - We're more likely to have 1 or
multiple databases on a given host, which all need to be maintained.

My initial thoughts are to use something like hiera to maintain this
configuration data.
Is this my best approach? Any other suggestions? Anyone doing this for
real?

Basically, any info/pointers you give me is greatly appreciated.

Yes, what I'm trying to achieve is a working provider without asadmin being

versions of glassfish installed.

Currently, the asadmin path gets calculated using several parameter values,
which allows a user calling the class to override any given parameter.

The actual command execution appears to work as expected currently, though
will take another look at the execute command.

 Your exists? method in puppet/provider/domain/el.rb overwrites the
 exists? method in puppet/provider/asadmin.rb. I don't know if you get
 problems when you have an el.rb file but you define an asadmin provider
 here. This may create classname clashes with the asadmin provider defined
 in
 provider/asadmin.rb

 The exists? method in asadmin.rb is not going to work because `commands`
 is a class method while `exists` is an instance method. It does make no
 sense to call `commands` inside an instance method.

 What exactly are you trying to archive anyhow? If the excutable is not in
 PATH how should your provider work? The best approach in my opinion
 is to always specify the full path to the executable. If you want your
 provider considered suitable even if commands are missing, you can use

   optional_commands :asadmin = 'binary_that_may_be_absent'

 If you want the user to supply the path to the binary via a resource
 parameter then you cannot realize this at a class level but at an
 instance level. That beeing said, you cannot define your executables
 with use the `commands` method.

 To execute something you can use the execute method. You then have to
 do something like.

   output = execute([resource[:asadmin_binary], arg1, arg2])

   Hi there,
  
   I'm trying to setup Glassfish config management using puppet.
   I've found larstobi's module here
   https://github.com/larstobi/puppet-glassfish/which I've cloned and
 am
   starting to tweak, as it would appear that the mentioned module is
 based on
   Solaris, therefore I'm starting to add support for EL. My code tree is
   here https://github.com/fatmcgav/puppet-glassfish.
  
   The challenge I'm hitting currently is that upon executing, it's
 failing
   with
  
   *err: Could not find a suitable provider for domain*
  
  
   When running at debug level, I can see the following:
  
   *debug: Puppet::Type::Domain::ProviderAsadmin: file asadmin does not
   exist
   debug: Class[Glassfish::Domain]: The container Stage[main] will
 propagate
   my refresh event
   err: Could not find a suitable provider for domain
   *
  
  
   I've verified that the asadmin file exists, as follows:
  
   *notice: /Stage[main]/Glassfish::Domain/Notify[gfdomain]/message:
   defined 'message' as 'Creating Glassfish domain cms using portbase

Asadmin file is: /usr/local/glassfish-3.1.2/bin/asadmin.'*
  
  
   *# file /usr/local/glassfish-3.1.2/bin/asadmin
   /usr/local/glassfish-3.1.2/bin/asadmin: POSIX shell script text
 executable
   *
  
  
   So the file definitely exists, and is a valid 'asadmin' file.
  
   Any ideas?

 Puppet uses its `path` setting to resolve unqualified executables in
 commands[1]. You can specify this on a per-agent basis, or you can
 provide an environment or I've recently filed a ticket to add a
 per-resource path metaparameter[2]. If you're writing your own
 provider, you can also specify an environment that puppet will use to
 execute the child process.

Asadmin definitely exists and has got the right permissions, as shown below:
