    There is a point where 
    n
    agents x 
    m
    facts is too much data.
  • c
    And usually at that point there is a large volume of fact data that is not used to create catalogs or even used for reporting purposes. It's just there because someone assumed system capacity was infinite.

    Running into something I think is almost certainly a bug. I have some `Concat::Fragment`s that are exported and then collected, but for some reason when the exported data is imported to a different node, it appears in the file as raw base64. Is this a known feature? I will say that the exported fragment contains text that has some base64 in it, but it is not only base64.

    Do any of you Puppet CLI power users happen to know if there's a way to create a new Puppet Console user via the CLI? Someone just asked me, and I've only ever done it by throwing data at RBAC.

    that’s a specific action, but it gives you the section you need to look into in the APIs

    A little extra guidance there. You don’t have to do what I did, but the auth/curl mechanism remains the same.
  • j
    Aha, it's via curl and RBAC! I thought it might be. Thank you! 🙂

    Alright next question:
  • t
    and I'm simplifying this - but
  • t
    Assume the above example - I'm no longer doing virtual resources
  • t
    I'm able to define those users
  • t
    Copy code
    if empty($engops_users[$this_user][uid]) {
         user { $this_user:
            ensure           => present,
            comment          => "${engops_users[$this_user][comment]}",
            managehome       => true,
            groups           => $engops_groups,
            shell            => '/bin/bash',
            password_max_age => '-1',
          }
      } else {
        user { $this_user:
          ensure           => present,
          gid              => "${engops_users[$this_user][gid]}",
          uid              => "${engops_users[$this_user][uid]}",
          comment          => "${engops_users[$this_user][comment]}",
          managehome       => true,
          groups           => $engops_groups,
          shell            => '/bin/bash',
          password_max_age => '-1',
        }
      }
  • t
    This creates a bunch of users
  • t
    I have another class where I'm checking to see if one of the users above is defined
