It's strange: whatever I do I can't go past these error. Either it cannot recognize the function or fails with single array error. Still don't understand what I'm missing. Cheers!! On Thursday, October 17, 2013 1:34:26 AM UTC+1, Sans wrote: Not sure if it's important: the line number

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

Hi Cristian, Thanks for the code. gos[:mac] is the right thing to do (as we defined: gos = {}); I think I g_C was a typo in my example script somewhere down the line). One related question: as I read that the name of the file must be the same as the name of the function, then I suppose I

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

I just modified your code a little bit and created two function out of that: *# am_running_oss_hash.rb* module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:am_running_oss_hash, :type = :rvalue ) do |args| inFile = args[0] gos = {} if File.exist?(inFile)

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

Not sure if it's important: the line number in the error message points to the line in the .pp file where $h = am_running_oss() is defines. If I change that line with am_running_oss_hash('/tmp/OSs.txt') it works just fine. Cheers!! On Wednesday, October 16, 2013 10:37:19 PM UTC+1, Cristian

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

Yes, the file is only on the master (and not exactly maintained by the Puppet but the provisioning framework) and it looks something like this: Slackware, Linux, i-num=1 Jaguar, MacX, i-num=6 Chicago, this_Win, i-num=2 Daytona, an_other_Win, i-num=7 RedHat, Linux, i-num=5 Lion, MacY,

[Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

Dear all, I have a custom fact, that reads a file and then generate the values dynamically based on the file content. It's something like this: inFile = /home/admin/OSs.txt gos = {} if File.exist?(inFile) open(inFile, 'r').each do |line| next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

/admin/OSs.txt)is there for the .rb file to read it, hence the fact returns 'undefined'as well. -San On Sunday, October 13, 2013 11:18:46 AM UTC+1, Martin Alfke wrote: Hi, On 13.10.2013, at 10:57, Sans r.sant...@gmail.com javascript: wrote: [...] The file is on the PuppetMaster

happens way before anything else, the file is not copied prior to the custom fact. So, I need to run puppet twice to get the custom fact working on a freshly installed agent. -San On Sunday, October 13, 2013 11:39:22 AM UTC+1, Sans wrote: .well, unless I'm missing something here. -Santanu

Re: [Puppet Users] exporting custom facts to puppet agents

Hi Wolf, yes, the custom fact itself is working just fine, so that's not a prob at all. It's something like this: inFile = /home/admin/OSs.txt gos = {} if File.exist?(inFile) open(inFile, 'r').each do |line| next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/ parts =

Hi Cristian, That sounds a workable solution. Do you have any example handy; I've never used that before. -San On Sunday, October 13, 2013 9:04:09 PM UTC+1, Cristian Falcas wrote: Why not make your fact a function? This way it will only run on the master and you will use a return

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet fails to install package, whilst it's okay to do manually

True! I didn't show that it actually installed from the command line but it does/did. After a bit digging, I found a rather strange issue - that was the very first installation just after spinning up the instance and puppet needed an *apt-get update* first to carry-on with installation, whilst

[Puppet Users] Puppet fails to install package, whilst it's okay to do manually

Dear all, I'm seeing this strange thing: When I run *puppet agent -td* on the node (Nagios, in this example case), puppet fails to install Nagios3 (on Debian) with this: Debug: Executing '/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat ${Status} ${Package} ${Version}\n nagios3' Debug: Executing

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet is always trying 'service start' instead of 'restart' - how to force restart?

Thanks Trevor! Although I was wondering about it but never thought that's actually causing this problem. On Debian/Ubuntu, the name of the init.d script (ganglia-monitor) is different than the daemon (gmond). Fixed now. Cheers!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

[Puppet Users] Puppet is always trying 'service start' instead of 'restart' - how to force restart?

Dear all, As stated in the title, I have a module for ganglia gmond, where puppet is always doing '*/etc/init.d/ganglia-monitor start*' instead of '*restart*' whenever a 'refresh' is triggered for the service. This is what I have in my module: file { 'gmond_conf': name=

Re: [Puppet Users] autometically create nagios_hostgroup only when a member of a group comes up

Hi Pete, how you doing? You will get duplication if you declare a nagioshost_group with the same name on more than one node... I think you may be missing the point of nagios_hostgroup. It is for declaring a hostgroup in nagios not setting the nagios hostgroup for a node. Yes, I know that
