All, I am sure this is just something I am doing wrong, but I am trying to implement a node classifier (shell script) to have my nodes inherit the proper classes. However, when I run it I am not getting any classes except those that are defined in default.
Rather than going into detail showing all of my configurations right off the bat, I have a question: I just stood up a "development" environment using http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Using_Multiple_Environments as my base. In my puppet.conf on puppetmaster I have cat /etc/puppet.conf [main] <snip> manifest = /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules [development] manifest = /etc/puppet_devel/manifests/site.pp modulepath = /etc/puppet_devel/modules node_terminus = exec external_nodes = /.foo/bin/puppet_node_classifier.sh In my head that tells the development area to use /etc/puppet_devel and to use the node classifier, whereas the main area uses /etc/ puppet/ and does NOT use the node classifier. My testing shows that if I run 'puppetd --test' it loads the main area and when I run 'puppetd --test --environment=development' it loads the development environment. So I think it is working as I expect. Slightly off topic - Do I need to have a puppet.conf in both /etc/ puppet and /etc/puppet_devel? Currently I have a copy of the same file in both locations. However, as far as I can tell it is not using the /.foo/bin/ puppet_node_classifier.sh script for the hosts. If I run '/.foo/bin/puppet_node_classifier.sh mybox.mydomain', I get: --- classes: - lockdown Then my config file has: node default { include banners } class lockdown { include restricted } Both banners and restricted are modules in /etc/puppet_devel/modules. It will run banners but it doesn't run restricted. To make things simple, banners is just putting a file in /etc/motd and restricted is just changing permissions on a different file. How can I tell if puppet is actually even running the node classifier? I tried using --test --debug --trace but the output never shows that it is trying (should it?). Is the output of the classifier whitespace sensitive? Mine is currently ---\n classes:\n <space>-<space>lockdown\n I have gotten things to work fine when I declare hosts specifically, but I want to use the node classifier for automation. I am pretty new to puppet so please forgive me if I have some idiot mistake. If this is all set up correctly and properly running the classifier I'll bombard this post with the contents of my config files.
