define variables in puppet manifests from text file

[Ankita kumari]

Hi,

I want to pass the variables in puppet manifests from text file. The text file contains a list of values in different lines. I want to pass these values to the variables defined in the manifest.


Thanks & regards,
Ankita

.pp files are text files ;-)
In older puppet versions you can simply import that .pp file, in newer
versions you can use the directory based manifest support and simply add
the .pp file in the directory from which all "site" manifests are loaded.

Also take a look at hiera.

I want to put the content of .txt file in the manifest as variable

[Felix Frank]

For files that are located on the puppetmaster (and readable to the
master process), you can use a function.

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/function.html#file

$my_variable = file("/data/stuff/cool_file")

HTH,
Felix
