get list of all nodes in site.pp and use it in another module

[sasikiran v]

How to use pupppet to get all the list of node names available in site.pp and use it in another module which is imported in site.pp


For example

site.pp
---------
node1 { 'first_node':
   a => 'hello'
  }


node2 { 'second_node':
  b => 'hai'
}


import new_module.pp


new_module.pp
----------------------

// Here i want to get all the list of node_names, is there any possibility to retrieve

this doesn't look like valid node syntax?

Uhm, you can *possibly* get at the data using file() or generate(), but
you probably shouldn't. It sounds like you are laying a nightmarish
foundation for your architecture.

What are you trying to do, specifically? Maybe we can recommend a better
way to get there.

Cheers,
Felix

Hi Felix,

I think the question which i asked didn't make sense.

I am new to puppet, basically i don't have basics on how the things like node, class, define works,

Is there any video tutorials avaiable to get through the puppet easily.

Thanks,
Sasikiran

Hi,

I know of no video, but it's hard to convey the basics in such a form
anyway, I believe.

I recommend taking a look at the official tutorial:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/
