Puppet Plan: patching::post_update

Defined in:
plans/post_update.pp

Summary

Executes a custom post-update script on each node.

Overview

Often in patching it is necessary to run custom commands before/after updates are applied to a host. This plan allows for that customization to occur.

By default it executes a Shell script on Linux and a PowerShell script on Windows hosts. The default script paths are:

- Linux: `/opt/patching/bin/post_update.sh`
- Windows: `C:\ProgramData\patching\bin\post_update.ps1`

One can customize the script paths by overriding them on the CLI, or when calling the plan using the ‘script_linux` and `script_windows` parameters.

The script paths can also be customzied in the inventory configuration ‘vars`: Example:

“‘ yaml vars:

patching_post_update_script_windows: C:\scripts\patching.ps1
patching_post_update_script_linux: /usr/local/bin/mysweetpatchingscript.sh

groups:

# these targets will use the pre patching script defined in the vars above
- name: regular_nodes
  targets:
    - tomcat01.domain.tld

# these targets will use the customized patching script set for this group
- name: sql_nodes
  vars:
    patching_post_update_script_linux: /bin/sqlpatching.sh
  targets:
    - sql01.domain.tld

“‘

Examples:

CLI - Basic usage

bolt plan run patching::post_update --targets all_hosts

CLI - Custom scripts

bolt plan run patching::post_update --targets all_hosts script_linux='/my/sweet/script.sh' script_windows='C:\my\sweet\script.ps1'

Plan - Basic usage

run_plan('patching::post_update', $all_hosts)

Plan - Custom scripts

run_plan('patching::post_update', $all_hosts,
         script_linux   => '/my/sweet/script.sh',
         script_windows => 'C:\my\sweet\script.ps1')

Parameters:

  • targets (TargetSpec) —

    Set of targets to run against.

  • script_linux (String[1]) (defaults to: '/opt/patching/bin/post_update.sh') —

    Path to the script that will be executed on Linux targets.

  • script_windows (String[1]) (defaults to: 'C:\ProgramData\patching\bin\post_update.ps1') —

    Path to the script that will be executed on Windows targets.

  • noop (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Flag to enable noop mode for the underlying plans and tasks.

Returns:

  • (ResultSet) —

    Returns the ResultSet from the underlying ‘run_task(’patching::post_update’)‘
