Stop Puppet Enterprise from automatically purging nodes after 14 days of unresponsivness

	#!/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby

	# Use the puppetclassify gem to set TTLs for puppetdb to 'forever' (0s)
	# to stop reports expiring. Because the class is loaded directly in the
	# classifier, we can't use hiera ADB to override the parameters so we have
	# to pump values into the NC API...

GeoffWilliams / Makefile.onceover

Created August 18, 2017 14:01

A makefile for doing testing with onceover (rename as just Makefile) - lets you test syntax and rspec by typing `make` - ideally hoping that equivalent functionality can be incorporated into onceover at some point as the validation is very slow due to needing a new ruby interpretter for each file validated

	'onceover:
	bundle install

	# puppet files
	find . -name '.pp' -not -path './.onceover/' \| xargs -n1 bundle exec puppet parser validate

	# EPP files
	find . -name '.epp' -not -path './.onceover/' \| xargs -n1 bundle exec puppet epp validate

	# ERB files

Drop puppet privileges on windows - Inspect the list of windows services and check if puppet is marked to run as LocalService - if it ins't, then reconfigure it to use this account and then reboot. This will drop privileges (eg from a domain account)

	# Note When changing a service from a local system to a network, or
	# from a network to a local system, StartPassword must be an empty
	# string ("") and not NULL.

Last active January 16, 2018 03:13

Puppet exec based "host if statement": Sometimes you want to run an action based on whether a command executes or not. Thats a 'fact' right? - but facts only execute every puppet run so if you want to do something like check that a port is open somewhere you would have to wait 30 minutes after configuring a fact with the destination before you c…

How to run a clrean ruby command from inside rbenv + bundler and have it use your rbenv but not the bundle - eg make it the same as running the command on the commandline

	# string will use NO value, eg things will be broken

	unset RUBYLIB unset GEM_HOME
