So I want to use facts from one host in the configuration of other hosts. Trivial example: setting restrict lines in ntp.conf to allow a monitoring host to query ntpd on remote hosts.
So if the monitoring host boots with IP 10.2.2.3 (which may change regularly), and it knows its the monitor host (via some customer facter plugins), I want some global variable to be available ($monitor_host_ipaddress, type of thing) which could be used in tempaltes etc for all other hosts. Exported resources seems close to what I want, but I dont want to export a file, and copy it to other machines. I want to use variables. Or do I have to copy the IP address of the monitor host to each machine, via an exported resource file, and then process it locally in an exec script to build the correct ntp.conf? That doesn't seem very puppet-ish... Help? T.I.A. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
