So generally in Puppet code, you must know what needs configured in the target application documentation, and then you write puppet code to manage that state, or perform the function. you wont find docs in Puppet (outside of a personal project) on how to do this exact upgrade, but you will find lots of documentation on managing linux packages and configurations in general

Is there a way to make

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/public/last_run_summary.yaml

world readable? I see in PA-3253 that there was a similar request but the conversation looks like it turned to cache/ (and possibly the CVE related to the last_run_report.yaml file). The agent's puppet.rb sets the public directory to 0755 but there's no mention of the summary file therein.

Ah, found what I needed from a Nagios trouble ticket.

Copy code

[agent]
lastrunfile = $publicdir/last_run_summary.yaml {mode = 0644}

is there any software or tool to convert the apache conf file into manifest file?

for PE, there is https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-pe_databases/blob/main/manifests/pg_repack.pp to configure pg_repack which will basically purge dead tuples like autovacuum does, but better. you can adopt it to FOSS as well

ah sorry, no, seconds. Everything should be in seconds.

Yeah… here are formulas I use as a starting point, and they’ve worked for a few years now….

Copy code

TOTAL_JRUBIES = (total_num_of_agents * (avg_catalog_compile_time_in_seconds * 2)) / run_interval_in_seconds)

TOTAL_PUPPETSERVERS = TOTAL_JRUBIES / max-active-instances

@josh Hi o/ . Could you take a look at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/8919 ?

So if you did

notify +> Foo[something]

in a collector, it’d add the relationship.

I did say go would be such a different language to the current community that community contributions would go against zero, and that would be bad

natemccurdy

09/19/2022, 9:36 PM

Possibly, though I haven’t tried that before. I’d try setting it to `undef`or

[]

to clear out all relationships.

Hello, I am trying to get puppetdb working, I am not sure what is going wrong exactly. I am using a configuration that has worked before and I did not have any issues with, but now after putting the server back to factory settings I have deployed my scripts again and now I am running into this error:

Copy code

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Failed to execute '/pdb/cmd/v1?checksum=6a4a91357c1cc0a61f1fc3e24be4de52c03dfe15&version=5&certname=<http://puppet.company.com|puppet.company.com>&command=replace_facts&producer-timestamp=2022-09-20T10:01:38.018Z' on at least 1 of the following 'server_urls': <https://puppetdb:8081>
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

The scripts for puppetdb are: puppetboard.pp

Copy code

  docker::image { '<http://ghcr.io/voxpupuli/puppetboard:3.5.0|ghcr.io/voxpupuli/puppetboard:3.5.0>':

  }

  docker::run { 'puppetboard':
    image => '<http://ghcr.io/voxpupuli/puppetboard:3.5.0|ghcr.io/voxpupuli/puppetboard:3.5.0>',
    env   => [

      'PUPPETBOARD_PORT=9090',

Can you create a single level in hiera that references an array of facts? i.e. let's say I had a custom fact called host_tags that might have the value ['mongo','apache']. I want to have hiera files data/host_tags/mongo.eyaml and data/host_tags/apache.eyaml. I do not want to specify a new hiera level in hiera.yaml for each specific tag.

natemccurdy

09/20/2022, 8:11 PM

@John Ratliff See the

mapped_paths

example here: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_config_yaml_5.html#specifying_file_paths

natemccurdy

09/20/2022, 8:12 PM

Copy code

- name: Example
    mapped_paths: [host_tags, tag, "host_tags/%{tag}.eyaml"]

👍 1

John Ratliff

09/20/2022, 8:15 PM

So, if the custom fact were literally named

host_tags

, the first param would be

host_tags

, and not something like

%{facts.host_tags}

? Not clear on what

scope variable

means.

natemccurdy

09/20/2022, 8:18 PM

That’s a good question, and honestly I don’t know. That part of the docs is ambiguous. I would assume that

host_tags

works, since all facts are also top-scope variables. But I don’t know how you could explicitly specify a fact vs. a scope variable like you can in other parts of Hiera.

natemccurdy

09/20/2022, 8:19 PM

Maybe

facts.host_tags

, but I’m not sure.

John Ratliff

09/20/2022, 8:19 PM

I wasn't aware all facts are also top-scope variables. Thanks. I'll try it out and see what happens.
