[Puppet Users] Difference between Puppet agent v. apply

Can someone please clearly explain why/when to use: puppet apply versus Puppet agent? I believe, but I want to be thoroughly corrected, the following: 1. puppet apply (with --noop) is for 'smoke' testing a specific manifest .PP-file, but 2. puppet apply will apply a single (specified on cli)

[Puppet Users] Please explain need for multiple .ppm files in a single module

Where I work a great of the Puppet Modules employed are downloaded from the Puppet Forge; however, some are created by my teammates. What I can't figure out is WHY are some modules written with multiple .pp files in the manifest directory. Can someone please tutor me on this point, or point me

[Puppet Users] Configuring ElasticSearch backups repositories?

Hi all. I'm using the ElasticSearch module to manage the ElasticSearch package, service, plugins, etc. and it's working quite wonderful. Something that's missing, though, is being able to manage ElasticSearch backup repositories. I'm wondering if anyone has any examples of how they may be

Re: [Puppet Users] SSL Error when connecting agent to master

Hi, a very brief bout of researching lead me to this: https://ask.puppetlabs.com/question/6065/mac-os-x-client-ssl-error-before-caching-ca-cert/ You may be experiencing Ruby/OpenSSL version mismatches as well. Perhaps the workaround of the OP over at ask will help you as well. Good luck,

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 4, Windows and providers.

Hi, so the provider is available as a plugin in your module? It appears that Puppet 4 does not load it successfully. You should probably enable debug output and look for clues as to why that is specifically. (I half feel that `puppet apply` should first plugin-sync the Ruby code to

Re: [Puppet Users] Updating facts for a client in PuppetDB independently from the master

Yeah, it would. What I'm looking at doing would be injected as part of the reporting phase so it would be updated after each client run. Not an ideal solution, I would much rather be able to add some extra metadata to my clients in PuppetDB instead of needing to drag around yet another database

Hi Christopher, I have no first hand experience with this transition, but Martin put a note about SSL in the Puppet 4 chapter of the new Puppet Essentials (yes, I'm plugging us :-) Apparently Puppet 4 cannot use a CA that was created without the dns_alt_names setting. This might just be

[Puppet Users] Re: Connecting to https://puppet:8140

Restarting the puppetserver seems to sort the certificate mismatch. Note that my host's A record is loire.example.com with CNAME puppet.example.com. In /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, I refer to the host as puppet: [main] logdir=/var/log/puppet vardir=/var/lib/puppet

[Puppet Users] Re: Connecting to https://puppet:8140

Aha, I can answer *half* of my own question after another hour of work. The issue was the certname field in the config. Removing it makes that all work. I also removed the short hostname from dns_alt_names, since it seemed unnecessary. That leaves me only with the famous certificate mismatch

Re: [Puppet Users] Monitoring file system and cleanup with puppet

Puppet is not a monitoring tool, it's a configuration tool. It can do some things that might, at first glance, look like monitoring (i.e. check current system state), but this is only as a side effect of that information being necessary to confirm that the configuration is correct. On

I set up a puppetserver. It's, well, not generating errors outright. On the same host, I want to run a puppet agent. But the agent doesn't seem to want to use the FQDN of the host, and so it fails to connect. [T] jeff@loire:~ $ puppet agent --debug --test ... Debug: Finishing transaction

[Puppet Users] Updating facts for a client in PuppetDB independently from the master

Hi All, Is is possible to add facts to a client in PuppetDB independently of a run of Puppet on a client? Basically, I need to add some data to the client runs but the data is irrelevant to the client itself so there's no need to shove it across the network multiple times. I took a look at the

Re: [Puppet Users] Problems testing branching using rspec-puppet with hiera

Hi Joseph, You can see how we do it in SIMP using this reference spec_helper.rb https://github.com/simp/pupmod-simp-simplib/blob/master/spec/spec_helper.rb. The way it's set up allows you to use variables to change your hieradata on the fly and can use the context name to pick hiera data files

It isn't really feasible to convert to a class parameter since I'm testing profiles which, as I understand it, should not be using class parameters. I've since found a solution that seems like it might work; I've been working on other topics for a bit, but when I get back to it I'll post some

No, and you should probably not use Puppet to try and solve that kind of problem. You could probably write a script and run it from cron if you need a quick ad hoc solution. -- Lowe Schmidt | +46 723 867 157 On 17 February 2016 at 02:35, wrote: > Hi All, > > Is there
