Puppet External Node Classifer

Puppet-enc is a external node classifier for puppet. The classification file itself is a standard yaml file

--- 
groups: 
  group1:
    environment: testing
    classes:
      myclass1: {}
    parameters:
      param1: value1
  group2:
    parent: group1
    parameters:
      param3: value3
  default: 
    classes: {} 
    parameters: {}
nodes: 
  host1.mydomain.com: 
    environment: development 
    parameters:
      param2: value2
    classes: 
      myclass2: {}
  host2.mydomain.com: 
    parameters:
      param1: value1b
    group: group2

All the nodes are enclosed in the nodes array. Hosts not added will get data from the "default" group! Group data will be merged recursively (Deep merge not supported!) from the parent down.

bin/classify.rb

The classifier comes classify.rb; example usage

:puppet.conf

[main]
  # The Puppet log directory.
  # The default value is '$vardir/log'.
  logdir = /var/log/puppet

  # Where Puppet PID files are kept.
  # The default value is '$vardir/run'.
  rundir = /var/run/puppet

  # Where SSL certificates are kept.
  # The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
  ssldir = $vardir/ssl

  node_terminus  = exec
  external_nodes = /etc/puppet/bin/classify.rb -q -H

Command line;

# classify.rb -H myhost.fqdn
