do you even need those old reports?

it certainly will pile up again in the long run.. and we are going to pursue removing puppetDB instances at this remote site.. but given the tweaks to cmd processes its slightly better able to keep up with slewed incoming reports every 30min

in this case it was less about needing more capacity and more limited routing for our networks in EU.. so i have increased both heap and concurrent jobs.. that is why the backlog is trending down steadily

Is PPT-PCP-19 the last certification? Will there be one for 2023?

host puppet resource is pretty much backwards, primary key for /etc/hosts file is IP, not name so if you have default /etc/hosts

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

There is no way I can get rid of

::

entry using hosts, I have to use host and file_line resource to manage the same file, which probably will cause bunch of conflicts

hey am trying to update this puppet key but can’t seem to find anything to resolve… am running this on ubuntu 16

bumped it to 16.. load is still .2. mem same.. network usage 600k/s dropping the queue by ~100 per minute.. should have queue cleared in < 5 hours 😄

you remove the source and replace it with

content => epp('clients/testfile.pp'),

so you wil need

file {'/etc/test_dir/test_file': content => epp(''),}

thank you @vStone, one last qustion, what if I want to change the file ending to .sh =

content => epp('clients/testfile.pp'),

here is still .epp and can I change it on the agent to .sh ?

I use

server="<%= $facts['puppet_server'] %>"

but the variable is then empty on the client... and this is how I use it:

file { 'testfile_template':
                        ensure             => file,
                        content => epp('testtemplate/testfile_template.epp'),
                        path               => '/etc/check/testfile_template.sh',
        }

server="<%= $facts['puppet_server'] %>"

file { 'testfile_template':
                        ensure             => file,
                        content => epp('testtemplate/testfile_template.epp'),
                        path               => '/usr/local/bin/testfile_template.sh',
        }

it was installed and I reinstall it again with --force ,

# puppet module install puppetlabs-stdlib --version 8.5.0 --force

now it works. And this is how it works in template for all other:

server="<%= $facts['puppet_server'] %>"

Thank you @zipkid & @bastelfreak

@bastelfreak thank you for your suggestion, I'll take your advice like always, now r10k is on my ToDos and if I have question I'll ask it here... thanks. and if you have any good articles about it share it please

I'm still having trouble with resource ordering. I've got a hash of Linux packages (RPMS) that need to be installed before some other resources -- specifically, I have to install cifs-utils, libXtst and a few other packages before I can mount a CIFS filesystem. The cifs-utils package is a member of the $required_packages hash where the hash looks like:

required_packages:

cifs-utils:

ensure: installed

xorg-x11-apps:

ensure: installed

oracle-instantclient19.9-basic:

ensure: installed

oracle-instantclient19.9-sqlplus:

ensure: installed

glibc:

ensure: installed

and I'm not sure how I can tell my mount resources how to require all of the packages in $required_packages before trying to mount the CIFS filesystem. Yes, I could just do "require => Package[cifs-utils]" on the resource but what if there's another package that my application requires in order to run properly? It seems to me that it would be more scalable if I could just do something like "require => Package[$required_packages]". I'm embarrassed to keep asking these (seemingly) simple questions but I just can't wrap my brain around the right way to do things and to keep the code scalable. Specifically, here is the code in question. The packages need to be installed before the mount resources kick off. Is "require => Package[cifs-utils]" really the way to do it? If so, that means I need to keep track of the cifs-utils in two places: common.yaml and my class module and that's definitely not "Do not repeat yourself."

you could also put all the package resources contained in a class and then require that, i think

what is the name of new security plugin for puppet-lint ?
