can nodes be grouped with IP address?

[Hai Tao]

instead of using hostname wildcard, is there a way to define nodes by their IP addresses? for example, I want to put all nodes with 10.0.2.x and 10.0.3.0 to a nodes group called "testing". how can I do this?

thanks.

Hi,

Seems a bit backwards to me (you're the ones assigning the IP addresses
afterall) but I don't see why you couldn't do this with a custom fact
and a class that reads it.

Cheers,

Steph

I would probably grimace and find my right eye twitch ramp back up if this was in my environment....but here you go:

node default {

  if $::ipaddress =~ /^10\.0\.[3,4]\.\d{1,3}$/ {

    include testing # testing class

  } 

}

Obviously make sure no other matching node defs exist for this host.
