Puppet file type - puppet

I am testing puppet "file" type. I have added a simple manifests as following
root#pk121:/etc/puppet/manifests# cat site.pp
file { '/tmp/puppettest' :
source => "pk121.domain:///files/f1.txt",
}
Try to apply on master, but getting following error
root#pk121:/etc/puppet/manifests# puppet apply site.pp
Notice: Compiled catalog for pk121.domain in environment production in 0.17 seconds
Error: Validation of File[/tmp/puppettest] failed: You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:12
Wrapped exception:
You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target
root#pk121:/etc/puppet/manifests# ls -al ../files/f1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Mar 25 14:52 ../files/f1.txt
Edit
It is working fine locally, but still I am not able to sync f1.txt on agent, following is new configuration on master
root#pk121:/etc/puppet/environments/production/manifests# vi site.pp
node default {
file { '/tmp/puppettest' :
source => "pk121.domain:///files/f1.txt",
}
}
Agent
root#hire:~# puppet agent --test

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter source failed on File[/tmp/puppettest]: Cannot use URLs of type 'pk121.domain' as source for fileserving at /etc/puppet/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:3
Wrapped exception:
Cannot use URLs of type 'pk121.domain' as source for fileserving
Please let me know if you need any further information.

Your URI is malformed and tries to use your node FQDN as an address schema.
Try just using the vanilla
puppet:///files/f1.txt
When using puppet apply on a local system, you could conceivably also just sync files from one disk location to another.
source => 'file:///etc/puppet/files/f1.txt'
or
source => '/etc/puppet/files/f1.txt'

Error while running Puppet Agent using class in node default

I am getting error while executing puppet script
on Puppet master site.pp file I wrote following code
node default {
class t {
package {'apache2':
ensure => installed,
}
}
}
On Slave machine when i execute it using puppet agent --test, it throws the error:
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Could not parse for environment production: Classes, definitions, and nodes may only appear at toplevel or inside other classes (file: /etc/puppet/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp, line: 3, column: 1) on node slave.ec2.internal
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
Can you please help me in this regard
Hi this is because you are not supposed to define classes inside site.pp
Have a module foo (as I prefer foo for examples instead of t) defined like this:
#modules/foo/manifests/init.pp
class foo {
package {'apache2':
ensure => installed,
}
}
and you have a node entry in your site.pp like this
# site.pp
node default {
include 'foo'
}

Puppet enterprise error while running "puppet agent -t" commnad, unable to get User/Group data from hieara

I have Puppet enterprise installed on my VM, running in Virtualbox.
The installation went fine, but when I try to run the command puppet agent -t I get the following error:
[root#puppetmaster ~]# puppet agent -t
Info: Using configured environment 'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find data item role in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:32:10 on node puppetmaster.localdomain

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
Here is my site.pp file line where the error is coming from;
## site.pp ##
# This file (/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp) is the main entry point
# used when an agent connects to a master and asks for an updated configuration.
#
# Global objects like filebuckets and resource defaults should go in this file,
# as should the default node definition. (The default node can be omitted
# if you use the console and don't define any other nodes in site.pp. See
# http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on
# node definitions.)
## Active Configurations ##
# Disable filebucket by default for all File resources:
#http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/release_notes.html#filebucket-resource-no-longer-created-by-default
File { backup => false }
# DEFAULT NODE
# Node definitions in this file are merged with node data from the console. See
# http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#nodes for more on
# node definitions.
# The default node definition matches any node lacking a more specific node
# definition. If there are no other nodes in this file, classes declared here
# will be included in every node's catalog, *in addition* to any classes
# specified in the console for that node.
node default {
# This is where you can declare classes for all nodes.
# Example:
# class { 'my_class': }
$role = hiera('role')
$location = hiera('location')
notify{"in the top level site.pp : role is '${role}', location is '${location}'": }
include "::roles::${role}"
}
If you look at the error, it can't find the hiera key that you've asked for in your site.pp:
Could not find data item role in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp:32:10 on node puppetmaster.localdomain
In your code, you have the following:
$role = hiera('role')
$location = hiera('location')
Both of these are hiera calls, that require that hiera is setup and that the relevant key is in a hieradata folder.
A useful tool to help you diagnose hiera issues is hiera_explain, which shows you how your hiera hierarchy is setup and configured, and might help explain what the issue is with your code.

Puppet netdev_stdlib: How to fix "Invalid resource type netdev_device"?

I have set up Puppet master/agent in Oracle VirtualBox using Vagrant and installed netdev_stdlib on both master and agent according to instruction in the README.
I have set up module path to /etc/puppet/modules/netdev_stdlib where standard library stdlib also exists.
The master node is puppet.example.com and agent is node01.example.com.
My manifest file is as follows:
node default {
file { "/tmp/example_ip": ensure => present }
include stdlib # No error on this line
# include netdev_stdlib # Uncomment this line will cause error
netdev_device { $hostname: }
}
However, when I run puppet agent -t on the client I got
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid
resource type netdev_device at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:17 on node
node01.example.com
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
I tried to use include netdev_stdlib in the manifest file site.pp, but Puppet couldn't find the class netdev_stdlib. However, include stdlib is fine.
I tried to use include netdev_stdlib in manifest file site.pp but Puppet couldn't find the class netdev_stdlib, but include stdlib is fine.
The netdev_stdlib module doesn't provide a class that can simply be included. It's more of a programming framework for writing new Puppet types to manage network devices in Ruby.
You should either use the module to write a new network device module of your own for interfacing to some new type of device, per the README, or remove it and don't include the class.
If you're trying to manage a network device, you should look for an existing module that supports that type of device - it may then use this module as a dependency instead. If you're not managing a network device, I don't think you should be trying to use the module.
Note that most module READMEs will indicate class names that can be included; not all modules will contain Puppet classes.

How do I run a Puppet Manifest on a Windows server with Puppet Agent?

I have done it in the past. I don't know why I cannot do it this way below. I am using CentOS 7 for the Puppet Master server. I am using Windows Server 2012 with Puppet Agent.
All the content below was taken from the Puppet Master server. Here is site.pp (which is in /etc/puppet/manifests):
node 'fqdnOfWindowsServer' { import 'good.pp'}
node 'fqdnOfLinuxServer' {}
Here is good.pp (which is in /etc/puppet/manifests):
file { 'c:/fun.ps1':
ensure => 'present',
source => '/tmp/special.ps1',
source_permissions => 'ignore',
}
Here is what happens when I run puppet agent -t:
...Caching catalog for fqdnOfLinuxServer... Error: Failed to apply
catalog: Parameter path failed on File[c:/fun.ps1]: File paths must be
fully qualified, not 'c:/fun.ps1' at /etc/puppet/manifests/good.pp:5
How do I input a fully qualified path? It seems to be having a problem with a Windows server as the Puppet Agent. Paths are different from Linux Puppet Agents.
From what I can make of the error message, you're trying to create a Windows file resource on a Linux server (the error mentions caching catalog for fqdnOfLinuxServer). If that's the case, the error message makes sense because on Linux, the agent expects file paths to start with a forward slash.

Puppet ignores my node.pp entry

My Puppet master and agent are on the same machine. The master node.pp file contains this:
node 'pear.myserver.com' {
include ntp
}
The ntp.pp file contains this:
class ntp {
package { "ntp":
ensure => installed
}
service { "ntp":
ensure => running,
}
}
The /etc/hosts file contains the line:
96.124.119.41 pear.myserver.com pear
I was able to successfully launch puppetmaster, but when I execute this, ntp doesn't get installed (it is not installed already, I checked).
puppet agent --test --server='pear.myserver.com'
It just reports this:
info: Caching catalog for pear.myserver.com
info: Applying configuration version '1387782253'
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.01 seconds
I don't know what else I could have missed. Can you please help? Note that I replaced the actual server name with 'myserver' for security reasons.
I was following this tutorial: http://bitfieldconsulting.com/puppet-tutorial
$puppet agent --test
This will fetch compiled catalog from Master puppet, which is in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/manifests/site.pp and run locally.
$puppet apply /etc/puppet/modules/ntp/manifests/ntp.pp
Will apply locally
