In dashboard parameters are assigned via group. So basically you just create a group, assign some parameters there, include some nodes and your class in it.
Parameters created via dashboard group are at the global top scope I believe. --KL From: Rakesh K <rkath...@gmail.com<mailto:rkath...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "puppet-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com>" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com>> Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 05:50:37 -0700 To: "puppet-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com>" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:puppet-users@googlegroups.com>> Subject: [Puppet Users] Re: Passing parameters for a class in Dashboard Or in other words , how do I make sure that following config is applied to my node through dashboard class base1 { package { ["rsync", "xinetd"]: ensure => present } service { "xinetd": ensure => running } include rsyncd $password = generate("/usr/bin/pwgen", 8, 1) user { "dba": ensure => present, comment => "DB user", gid => "dba", shell => "/bin/false", require => Group["dba"], } group { "dba": ensure => present, } file { "/backup-mysql": ensure => directory, mode => 0775, owner => "dba", group => "dba", } file { "/home/dba/rsyncd.secret": content => "backup:${password}", replace => no, mode => 0460, owner=> "root", group => "dba", require => User['dba'], } rsyncd::export { "backup": path => "/backup-mysql", chroot => true, readonly => true, uid => "dba", gid => "dba", users => "backup", secrets => "/home/dba/rsyncd.secret", allow => "192.168.0.0/24", require => [File["/backup-mysql"], File["/home/dba/rsyncd.secret"]], } } node 'pclient1.example.com' { include base1 } On Monday, August 6, 2012 2:44:00 PM UTC+5:30, Rakesh K wrote: Hi, I have recently installed puppet and components including dashboard on my server. I am new to puppet and what I am trying to achieve here is passing parameters via dashboard What I can see right now is under Add Class in dashboard, I can only pass the class names. Whereas when I can include classes via nodes.pp I can also pass parameters. How can do this from dashboard, eg. if I want to achieve the following from dashboard how will I be able to do it /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp class baseclass { class { 'mysql': } class { 'mysql::server': #config_hash => { 'root_password' => 'mypass' } } mysql::db { 'mydb': user => 'myuser', password => 'mypass', host => 'localhost', grant => ['all'], } } node 'pclient1.example.com<http://pclient1.example.com/>' { include baseclass } And this is how my site.pp looks like [root@pmast1 ~]# cat /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp import 'nodes.pp' $puppetserver = 'pmast1.example.com<http://pmast1.example.com>' filebucket { "main": server => "puppet", path => false, } File { backup => "main" } Please suggest. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
