Is there a way to override an include line of a class youre calling from another manifest. E.G. I want to override and drop the following statement included in the puppet forge apache module

include apache::mod::autoindex

from my class that installs apache

Hi, I am trying to configure puppet_operational_dashboards for Puppet Open Source, From what I understand the toml-rb gem needs to be installed on the pupperserver, thus... 1. ...on the pupperserver I have included the influxdb::profile::toml to install the gem

[root@puppet-master01 ~]# puppetserver  gem list| grep toml
toml-rb (2.1.1)

2. On the VM I want to configure to run puppet_operational_dashboards I have included the following...

9,56          All
class hg_puppet::ops
{

  # Include common configuration
  include hg_puppet::profile::common

  # Install and configure puppet_operational_dashboards
  include puppet_operational_dashboards

}

...and running puppet agent -t it asks for the gem toml-rb

[root@puppet-ops ~]# puppet agent -t
Info: Using environment 'puppet_ops'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Internal Server Error: org.jruby.exceptions.LoadError: (LoadError) no such file to load -- toml-rb
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

3. is the puppet_operational_dashboards meant to be installed on a pupperserver or a standalone host?

yes, it did the module did that automatically However, I haven't configured puppet_operational_dashboards to point to any specific puppet infra hosts

puppetserver_hosts

puppetdb_hosts

postgres_hosts

I am wondering if puppet_operational_dashboards doesn't know which are puppetserver it thinks it's the puppetsever itself hence it thinks it shold have the toml-rb gem installed?

also happy to be pointed at a better option for this - the intent is to send a PagerDuty alert on agent run failure

I got it, i added iptables module in the end of list. Now a have full list. Thanks

another related pattern i've adopted is for each machine to set a custom

role

fact which ends up feeding into

include "role::${xxx}"

, so the "owner" of the machine (who has no access to the puppet servers) can do something like

echo role=xyz > /etc/facter/facts.d/role.txt

on the machine to tell puppet what "kind" of machine it is (since role classes are supposed to be "one per machine", and then you can add additional profile classes as needed)

I am trying to understand https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-10808 - And how to fix it without using puppet generate types. According to the global types theory, the first loaded version of a Ruby resource type takes priority, and then subsequent requests to compile in other environments get that first-loaded. Not sure why there would be any variation between a first loaded type and a subsequent one, if those types are static between 2 environments.

what's wrong with generate types?

yeah, that’s like “core toolbox”

And keep in mind…. your Ruby is vendored with Puppet, so if you have a site_ruby as well, you’ll need to use puppet’s “generate types” so it knows whre to find its own, and not some other elsewhere on the system

Unfortunately 4.5.2 does not have the

convert_to

function, but you can write something like this:

Hash({"key1"=>1, "key2"=>2}.map()|$k,$v|{ if $k == "key1" {[$k,100]} else {[$k, $v]})

in later version, it reads better when using `convert_to`:

{"key1"=>1, "key2"=>2}.map()|$k,$v|{ if $k == "key1" {[$k,100]} else {[$k, $v]}).convert_to(Hash)

The voice of experience is saying “you’re going to have a bad time if that happens”. That day was the longest week of my career. 😄

The example transforms the input hash such that the resulting hash has “key1” set to 100.

I think the issue with the types may have been to dir permissions. will retest. puppet generate types is difficult to run on dynamic envs unless you use r10k.

This works in 4.5.2: Here is your pastebin example rewritten - it maps the hash to an arrray on the form [_[name, modified_attributes_hash], …]_ and then converts that to a hash where the names are keys - like in the input.

$updated = Hash($items.map |$name, $attr| {
  [$name, {
    host => regsubst( $attr['host'] , 'old-domain' , 'new-domain' ),
    port => $attr['port'] + 1000,
    note => if $attr['note'] =~ Undef { '' } else {$attr['port']},
  }]
}

I feel like you’re seeing how far you can pull me in…. Ok, I’ll bite… And why wouldn’t you use r10k?

It’s become the de-facto standard way of deploying code both in Puppet Community and Puppet Enterprise in the form of Code Manager.

@rismoney it is not only the version of the resource type itself, but also all the code that it requires that can clash between different environments. The first loaded sticks for the lifetime of that ruby virtual machine. Puppet Server may toss one out and create a new virtual machine - and then the first compile after that will stick. Result is highly unpredictable…
