Puppet Class: r_profile::puppet::nr_agent

Defined in:
manifests/puppet/nr_agent.pp

Overview

R_profile::Puppet::Nr_agent

Install non-root puppet agent(s). Typically useful if you want to manage cloud resources with puppet and reqiure multiple puppet agents to do so.

Rquires that your puppet master hostname is resolvable already, either via DNS or ‘/etc/hosts`

Since puppet must already be installed on a node (as root) to be able to run this class, we do not attempt to (re)install puppet. This means we cannot use the puppet curl|bash installer and must instead create the appropriate settings files and services

Examples:

Installing non-root agents

class { "r_profile::puppet::nr_agent":
  puppet_master_fqdn => "puppet.megacorp.com",
  agents             => {
    "azureprovisioner.megacorp.com" => {
      "user"    => "puppet_azure",
      "secret"  => "shared_secret_for_autosigning",
    }
  },
}

Parameters:

  • puppet_master_fqdn (String) (defaults to: hiera("r_profile::puppet::nr_agent::puppet_master_fqdn", undef)) —

    The FQDN of the puppet master

  • agents (Optional[Hash]) (defaults to: hiera("r_profile::puppet::nr_agent::agents")) —

    Hash of agents to install, where each hash member’s key is the certname of the agent to install and the value is a hash of options for this agent
