[Puppet Users] Replacing extlookup to look up external things!

2019-01-29 Thread Robert Inder
I'm looking at the possibility of moving our Puppet manifests from 3.8 to Something More Recent (i.e. 6.1) We have one big CSV file for (mostly) encrypted passwords and the like. And our existing manifests use extlookup to extract the relevant entries, via calls like pw = How should I replace

2017-07-05 Thread Robert Inder
I'm using Puppet (3.8) to set up installations of a system for different clients. We have a number of servers running "live" installations, and others running corresponding development installations. There is a module for the system, and each node has a separate instance for each client that th

[Puppet Users] Puppet works on 41 times out of 43. Help?

2017-06-21 Thread Robert Inder
I'm hoping someone can help me diagnose a problem with Puppet version 3.8.7 running on CentOS 6.4. I have a couple of servers with a total of 43 web-accessed software systems, each with its own unix user. These installations are all created from scratch by Puppet, and then the appropriate vers

[Puppet Users] How can I diagnose hopeless performance.

2015-03-19 Thread Robert Inder
We have about a dozen CentOS 6 servers being managed by puppet 3.7.4, using puppet apply with locally stored modules and node definition. Recently, performance on one of them has collapsed to hopeless levels, and I really don't know how to diagnose the problem. Puppet used to take 5 - 10 min

[Puppet Users] How do I see a catalog from local manifests?

2014-02-14 Thread Robert Inder
I've taken over a puppet 2.7 setup that does not use a puppet master - we just use puppet-apply on locally stored manifests. I'm trying to re-organise our manifests, and want to avoid changing things unintentionally. Since manifests are compiled into a catalog before they are applied, I'm h
