Eric: Can you elborate on why global variables is a bad idea? Most of my environment's key-value pairs are set via dashboard as ENC, which I think are all global.

Each of these environments lives in 2 sites, LA and NY. I have 5 applications that are site and env specific. I want to use puppet to template-ize the config files that is required for each env, per site, per app, so 40 files. The config file is basically key=value pairs. Here's a simple example of what each file may look like: site=LA env=Dev app=App1 masterServer=host1 clientServer1=host2 clientServer2=host3 How about having these key value pairs in site.pp with a case environment Then they become global to all modules. -- Krish olindata.com<http://olindata.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
