Hi all,
I'm running hiera 1.3.1 and puppet 3.8.6.
I'd like to create resources based on some custom data structure. I'd like
to group all data related to a tomcat instance in the same hash key in
hiera:
cert/hostname.yaml
tomcatinst:
instA:
instance:
server_control_port : '8001'
http_port : '8011'
ajp_port : '8111'
ajp_params :
tomcatAuthentication : 'false'
manage_firewall : true
warfile:
path : '/var/lib/tomcats/instaA/webapps/sample.war'
owner : tomcat
group : root
source : '/custom/sample.war'
*InstA *is the common key for the tomcat instance plus its warfile. *(Instance
is a ::tomcat::instance resource and warfile is a file resource).*
There is a main class that creates the tomcat instance + the warfile using
a custom define (my_tomcat::instances)::
*my_tomcat/init.pp*
create_resources ('my_tomcat::instances', hiera_hash(tomcatinst))
** I need this define cause I'll be creating more than one insatnce per
host.*
The define where I called create_resource for the above resources (and here
is where I have all the problems):
*my_tomcat/instance.pp*
define my_tomcat::instance (
$instance ='',
$war = '',
) {
$instance_hash={$name => $instance }
create_resource('::tomcat::instance', "$instance_hash")
$war_hash={$name => $war }
create_resource('file', "$war_hash")
Inside the define I don't have a hash that I can directly use in the
creat_resource calls (such hash would make everything simple), $name is the
key of the hash, and $name['insatnce'] and $name['warfile'] are the actual
hashes that I must use for each resource. So, acording to my understanding,
I must pass the hash { $name => $instance } and { $name => $war } to the
create_resource function.
but it fails to create the resources. AFAIU it fails cause in puppet 3 the
creation of hashes with variables as keys is not working
<https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2523> ( I tried to use static
values as keys and my code works). But it could be that I'm
misunderstanding the whole thing :-) .
The workaround I'm implementing is a define that does not create resources
with create_resources:
define my_tomcat::instances (
$instance = '',
$war = '',
$extra = '',
) {
#create_resources('::tomcat::instance', "{$name => $instance}", $defaults)
tomcat::instance { "$name" :
server_control_port => $instance['server_control_port'],
http_port => $instance['http_port'],
ajp_port => $instance['ajp_port'],
ajp_params => $instance['ajp_params'],
manage_firewall => $instance['manage_firewall'],
}
#$mywars = hiera("my_tomcat::instances::$name::wars")
file { "$name" :
path => $war['path'],
owner => $war['owner'],
group => $war['group'],
source => $war['source'],
}
which works as expected.
But I'm wondering if if there is way to use the create_resource function
directy with the above HoH.
TIA,
Arnau
