Console color in 3.0.1

[thinkwell]

A trivial post, perhaps, but I liked the console coloring of 2.7 much better than 3.0. Is there a way to get the 2.7 coloring back or to customize the console color scheme?

TIA,

Dave

It's possible, but not exactly easy.  For a time, the new format was only available using the log destination "telly_prototype_console" with something like this in puppet.conf:

[main]

logdest = telly_prototype_console

However, in commit 537343d we replaced the default destination named "console" with the telly console.  Unfortunately, we didn't leave the old destination in place as an option, but I'm not sure if we could have.

If this really bothers you, you might be able to create a new destination using:

Puppet::Util::Log.newdesttype :puppet27_console do

 ...

end

You can see the Puppet 2.7.19 console formatter here:

Josh, thanks for that ticket link. I've signed up as a watcher.

Jeff, I've added the puppet27_console code to a client machine, then added the lines below to its puppet.conf, but no luck. Coloring remains the 3.0 version. Is that possible? Or did I do something wrong?

[main]

logdest = puppet27_console

I'm not sure this will work even if you did everything perfectly, so I think this way lies madness.  Unless you're up for the challenging of hacking at the internals of Puppet, I think this is a bad road to go down.

If you'd like to keep trying though, please post the changes you made as a patch or into a topic branch on Github and we can continue the discussion on the puppet-dev mailing list or irc channel.

I'm not a ruby programmer and the puppet internals will remain a wilderness to me for the near future. So I'll have to content myself with watching the ticket and waiting for the final solution. Thanks alot for your ideas, though.

Don't know may be it someone be useful I have prepared a patch that returns the old puppet 2.7 color style (patch in attach)

just run from <puppet_gem>/lib/puppet/util/log location for me it's a /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/puppet-3.0.1/lib/puppet/util/log:

patch -p1 < ./destinations_oldStyleColor.patch

and enjoy :)
