Hi,
I believe I have a related problem. What is the correct way to extend your
example, to handle the situation where each application class needs to set a
different var? For example I'm writing a module whereby I need to include
sections of template based on what applications are installed on the
server. So for example I currently have:
class syslog {
...
$include_networker = ''
$siem_collector_ipaddr = ''
file { $syslog_config:
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0644',
content =>
template("syslog/${operatingsystem}/${cust_os_major_version}/config.erb"),
require => [ Package[$syslog_pkg] ],
}
...
}
#===
My erb template contains the standard syslog plus the following sections at
the end:
<% if !include_networker.empty? then %>
# NetWorker requirements
daemon.notice /dev/console
daemon.notice /nsr/logs/messages
daemon.notice operator
local0.notice /nsr/logs/summary
local0.alert root, operator
<% end -%>
<% if !siem_collector_ipaddr.empty? then %>
# SIEM requirements
*.debug @<%= siem_collector_ipaddr %>
<% end -%>
#===
class syslog::add_config inherits syslog {
# Do something to set the params in the template if required ?????
# I have tried different approaches including appending each
application to an array and modifying template to read it (which doesn't
work); setting
# application specified params to be picked up in the template etc.
# This resets the content of the file resource in syslog
# to enable the application inclusions in the template to be picked
up.
#
File[$syslog_config] { content =>
template("syslog/${operatingsystem}/${cust_os_major_version}/config.erb") }
}
#===
class siem ($siem_collector_ipaddr) {
...
include 'syslog::add_config'
...
}
#===
class networker {
...
$include_networker = 1
include 'syslog::add_config'
...
}
#===
The vars $include_networker and $siem_collector_ipaddr in class syslog do
not get set. I should add that I am aware augeas will be suggested for
syslog configs :) but we have both RHEL 5/6 and Solaris 10 servers, and I'm
yet to fully evaluate it to ensure it will suit all our needs for all
platforms.
Thanks in advance,
Karen
