This looks like this :

package { 'taniumclient':
      name     => $name_pck,
      ensure   => present,
      provider => $provider,
      source   => "${puppet_tanium::install_path}/${package_name}",
      require  => File["${puppet_tanium::install_path}/${package_name}"],
    }

where $name_pck has been defined for redhat and debian has taniumclient_7.4.7.1094-debian10_amd64.deb & TaniumClient-7.4.8.1054-1.rhe7.x86_64.rpm

This doesn't look right to me the name parameters should be the output of dpkg --list | grep Tanium right ?

Looks reasonable to me. I'd force the name to be the same on both OS for simplicity if possible unless there are external reasons you can't control. In regards to your dpkg question $nam_pck should match whatever dpkg/yum returns. In the case of a mismatch, Puppet will attempt to reinstall the package every run. This is common when a module defines a package

apache

and the OS happily helps by installing

apache2

for the module. Puppet runs, sees no

apache

package and attempts to install it.

can anyone help on this

yes windows node also in AWS

Hello, I have removed one of the galera node from puppetdb(basically removed the yaml file from facts in master and revoke certificate with master) and stopped the puppet. Its already few days and still the node is connected to the cluster where it shouldn't happen as we removed its data from puppet and the ip's are dynamically assigned. Any idea or suggestion what the problem could be. I have seen in puppet website that when puppetdb processor is enabled then the removed or deactivated node would be there till 14 days. Is there anything i can do more to get ride of this node?

Hi all - Is there a way (via Puppet) to access the equivalent of the alternatives command ?

I would like to use Puppet to set the default to Java 11 if possible

Good Day All, Can someone please assist? I am trying to use Puppet to check if a software package is already installed. I have loaded a windows node's software listing into the Puppetmaster. I can view the software facts via Foreman. My basic script uses chocolatey like this and it works: class standardsoftware($list = []) { include chocolatey package { $list: ensure => latest, provider => 'chocolatey', } } But i would like to first check if the software package is already installed and if so, use the bottom code but its not working. (I have a global Boolean variable $installedpackage defined in Foreman). class updatesoftware($list = []) { include chocolatey $a = $facts['software'] $installedpackage=false $a.each |$i, $b| { $c = downcase($b) $d = regsubst($c, " ", "") if (match($list,$d) or $list in $d) { $installedpackage=true } } if ("${installedpackage}") { package { $list: ensure => latest, provider => 'chocolatey', } } } Can someone assist? Thanks

you want to declare desired state and configuration, not check for whether a thing is installed. that’s an anti-pattern in puppet.

@kenyon - Yes you right...but can it still be done?

@Steve Handy I guess writing a custom fact which looked at the software fact and checked would be a way but if you are only wanting to install latest IF its a new package using ensure => present or installed would achieve that. What is it you want to get out of this approach?

In the https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/server/puppet_server_metrics.html#statistical-metrics article, is time there in seconds or milliseconds? I wish the article would say.

For like compiler.mean

Hello folks, I am looking at a _core module and wonder if that has to be explicitly imported ? I have puppetv6 servers module in question is mount_core module

Hello folks, I am looking at a _core module and wonder if that has to be explicitly imported or is it pre-packaged in opensource v6 version of puppetserver ? I have puppetv6 servers module in question is mount_core module

Yes, explicitly imported. It's a module like any other now https://forge.puppetlabs.com/modules/puppetlabs/mount_core

The

mean

is in milliseconds (see

DurationUnit
