mysql value lookup from manifest

[Andrei-Florian Staicu]

Hi,

What would be the best way to get a something from mysql?

I was looking at hira-mysql, but it doesn't seem to be able to run arbitrary commands.

For example, I want to get part of the motd from mysql, depending on the hostname. Up until now, i was using a script, calling it with generate the master side, and using the result in a template:

$motd = generate ('/etc/puppet/bin/getmotd',$hostname)

But maybe there'a more ... puppet way?

Thanks.

If you have a use case that doesn't mesh well with hiera-mysql, then your best options are generate() or your own custom function.

Thanks, I will continue like that.
