Managing json configuration files for each node

[Steve Harp]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage json configuration files on all of my nodes. The json files consist of from 1 to n sub-site configurations stored in a json array.  If each site only had 1 site configuration, it would be a simple matter of using a template.  The only option I can think of right now is to maintain a separate json file for each node on the Puppet Master.  Of course, that would make implementing across-the-board changes cumbersome.

What are my options?

Each node's json file would look something like this and could have any number of sites:

{

  "Sites": [

    {

      "ID": "0000",

      "IS_LIVE": "False",

      "MYSQL_USER": "mgmt",

      "MYSQL_PASS": "letmein",

      "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/0000.net",

      "BACKUP_LIVE": "True"

    }

  {

      "ID": "0001",

      "IS_LIVE": "False",

      "MYSQL_USER": "mgmt",

      "MYSQL_PASS": "letmein",

      "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/0001.net",

      "BACKUP_LIVE": "True"

    }

  {

      "ID": "0002",

      "IS_LIVE": "False",

      "MYSQL_USER": "mgmt",

      "MYSQL_PASS": "letmein",

      "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/0002.net",

      "BACKUP_LIVE": "True"

    } 

]

}

Thanks for any suggestions on the best way to manage these files.
