resource override

[Papp Tamas]

hi All,

I'm a bit new to puppet. Is there a mailing list for puppet beginners?:)


I have a service module called postfix, which defines file in a class:

file {
'/etc/postfix/main.cf':
owner => "root",
group => "root",
mode => 644,
content => template('postfix/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb'),
notify => Service['postfix'],
require => Package['postfix']
}

This is included in the base node which is inherited by all nodes.

For one node I want to change the configuration:

node "jay.foo.com" inherits nodes_base {
include jay
}


jay (node specific) module:

class jay inherits postfix {
File ["/etc/postfix/main.cf"] {
content => template('jay/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb')
}

}


This works fine.

However I'd like to use this:

class jay {
include jay::postfix
}

class jay::postfix inherits postfix {
File ["/etc/postfix/main.cf"] {
content => template('jay/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb')
}

}

# puppet agent -t --noop
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could not find scope for jay::postfix at
/etc/puppet/nodes/jay/manifests/init.pp:2 on node jay.foo.com
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run



Or this:

node "jay.foo.com" inherits nodes_base {
# include jay
File ["/etc/postfix/main.cf"] {
content => template('jay/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb')
}

}


# puppet agent -t --noop
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Only subclasses can override parameters at
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:24 on node jay.foo.com
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
root@jay:~#


What's wrongm, what do I miss?


Thanks,
tamas

Welcome! No, but this list is for all skill levels.

The issue here is how your module is structured in relation to what
Puppet expects to automatically find your manifests.

In jay module, manifests directory, Puppet expects init.pp to have the
jay class.

If you want to have a jay::postfix class, Puppet expects to find it in
jay/manifests/postfix.pp. So, if your init.pp currently contains the
class jay::postfix, rename that file to postfix.pp and try again.

In this case, Puppet is telling you that you can only override
resources in a class that inherits another class. You can't do this
outside of a class. You were on the right track above.

Of course I tried this way:

[...some example...]


At least, I thought, I did:)


Thank you very much,
tamas

[Papp Tamas]

Rather not..

It's OK, if I use include postfix::bob and the classes for this way.


But:

# puppet agent -t --noop
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

Could not find scope for bob::postfix at
/etc/puppet/nodes/bob/manifests/init.pp:2 on node bob.foo.com

warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

IF:

node "bob.maramaros.chemaxon.local" inherits nodes_LXC {
include bob
}


# cat init.pp
class bob {
include bob::postfix
}

# cat postfix.pp
class bob::postfix inherits postfix {
File ["/etc/postfix/main.cf"] {
content => template('bob/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb')
}

}


OR

# puppet agent -t --noop
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

Could not find scope for bob::postfix at
/etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:6 on node bob.foo.com

warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

IF:

node "bob.foo.com" inherits nodes_LXC {
include bob::postfix
}

class bob::postfix inherits postfix {
File ["/etc/postfix/main.cf"] {
content => template('bob/etc/postfix/main.cf.erb')
}

}



So I still miss something, but I don't see what or where or any clue.

Thank you,

I suspect you have a problem either with paths or with permissions.
Supposing you have not configured custom directories, your setup
should look like this:

<puppet base>
L puppet.conf
L manifests/
L site.pp
L modules/
L bob/
L manifests/
L init.pp
L postfix.pp
L postfix/
L manifests/
L init.pp

Classes that have the same name as their module ( == classes whose
names are in the topmost namespace) should appear in their modules'
init.pp files. Other classes directly in their modules' namespaces
should appear in manifest files that are siblings to their modules'
init.pp.

Thus, class 'bob' should appear in modules/bob/manifests/init.pp.
Class 'bob::postfix' should appear in modules/bob/manifests/
postfix.pp. Class 'postfix' should appear in modules/postfix/
manifests/init.pp.

Furthermore, the whole tree must be readable, and the directories
traversible, by the puppetmaster user (often 'puppet', and typically
*not* root).

That's true with slight modifications (eg.

I can send you the /etc/puppet directory, if you prefer. However configuration is pretty simple.

I've no idea how bob.pp should look like.
BTW, this is an Ubuntu 12.04 with default configuration.

You didn't say what those modifications were, but probably they are
what's killing you. For the modules and classes in this example,
Puppet's autoloader expects *exactly* the layout I showed.

Moreover, as I wrote before, "Other classes directly in their modules'

namespaces should appear in manifest files that are siblings to their

modules' init.pp." To be clear, that means class "bob::postfix"
should be defined in modules/bob/manifests/postfix.pp. Class "bob",
on the other hand, should be defined in modules/bob/manifests/init.pp
because it is in the top-level namespace.

In any case, your strace shows that the problem is indeed with paths.
You even appear to have flagged the line that says so:


> lstat("*/etc/puppet/modules/bob/manifests/bob/postfix.pp*",

You do not need a manifest named "bob.pp" for the example. If you had
a class named bob::bob, however, then you would put its definition in
modules/bob/manifests/bob.pp.

It is.

It's quite clear and obvious.

You even appear to have flagged the line that says so:

lstat("*/etc/puppet/modules/bob/manifests/bob/postfix.pp*",
0x7fff452bdf70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

The real path:

/etc/puppet/modules/bob/manifests/postfix.pp

The question is that why it search for it under path 'bob/bob' ? It's supposed to be only bob because 'include bob::postfix' means that.

If I create a symlink for that directory, it finds it, but still not good:

What's "not good" about it?  The strace doesn't show any obvious
problem.

not good = does not work
The class does not carry out.

I've no idea how bob.pp should look like.

You do not need a manifest named "bob.pp" for the example.  If you had
a class named bob::bob, however, then you would put its definition in
modules/bob/manifests/bob.pp.

I mean I didn't find a rational reason, why it looks for it.

module called 'bob':

# cat /etc/puppet/modules/bob/manifests/postfix.pp

class bob::postfix inherits postfix {

}

I'm trying to figure outt. what the problem is, but I don't see.

Again, this is the error message:

It should not be a problem for site.pp to import a "node.pp" manifest.

My bad. Puppet is indeed looking in the wrong directory there.

You are right about that.

That layout looks ok, though some of the characters didn't translate.

Having that import statement inside your node declaration looks
suspicious. Do you intend it to mean something different there than
it would outside the node block, either immediately before or
immediately after? If so, then it may not mean what you think it
means. I recommend you move it outside the block, though I would be
surprised if that solved the problem you asked about.

Other than the oddly-placed "import" statement, I don't a problem
either. I recommend you try to reduce all this to the minimum
possible manifest set that will reproduce the problem. Odds are that
the process of doing so will reveal the problem to you, but if it
doesn't then what's left will be easier for the rest of us to analyze.

I note that the check_https command that the puppet module generates is check_http -H $HOSTNAME -S $ARG1

I'd like to specify $ARG1 so that so that I can check return strings, check SSL certificates et al. but I couldn't find any way to do it other than nagios_command which seems pretty wasteful

Is it possible to set $ARG1 ?

Hi,

$ARG1 in a nagios check is what comes after the first ! in the check.
Which module are you using to generate your nagios setup?

I inherited the module so I'm not sure. I did see some check_commands with ! and was wondering; I didn't connect the dots.

Thank you!! :)

[Peter Brown]

No worries.
Glad you got it working.
