Hi, Thanks for supporting. We've been running this environment of around 1000 servers for at least 5 years and have never seen a crontab suddenly disappear before. We've only had Puppet in place for a month or so. Regards, On Tuesday, 10 July 2012 15:37:15 UTC+2, Felix.Frank wrote: > > Hi, >

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn't seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard

Hiera would look in your RedHat.yaml first, if you would tell hiera, that this lookup variable is available, by using hiera -d -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml sshpackages environment=development operatingsystem=RedHat Which would always get passed to hiera by puppet, along with all facter variables.
