Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked before but I am not entirely sure what to search for so as to get the answer I am looking for.
I have recently started using puppet to manage our servers (we have 30 at the moment) and I have been posed the question of whether I wholesale change configs or make changes within. The reason this was asked is in the case of the following simplified example. Lets say I am managing the MySQL package and I would like it to stay up to the latest stable version, this is easy to implement. Lets then say that the latest MySQL version also makes a default change to the /etc/mysql/my.cnf configuration file that effects performance/security. As it stands this change would get lost because I am using a template to create the my.cnf config. The only way I can think of covering this problem is to essentially do a sed style operation and make all the changes I require in the my.cnf and add the lines if they aren't there. Is there a better way to approach this issue? Cheers for the help, Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
