Puppet iteration string/array

问题

Can you think of a way to solve this problem in Puppet?

I have a custom fact with generates a string of IP addresses depending on the domain it is run on, it can resolve to have 1 to n addresses.

"10.1.29.1"
"10.1.29.1,10.1.29.5"
"10.1.29.1,10.1.29.5,10.1.29.7"
etc

I want to add these to the host file with a generated server names of servernameX for example;

10.1.29.1 myservername1
10.1.29.5 myservername2
10.1.29.7 myservername3

So how can you do this as puppet doesn't have an array iterator like "for each"?

回答1:

Sadly, even if you go about and use a custom "define" to iterate over an array upon splitting your custom fact on a comma, the result will be rather not what you expect and not even close to a "for each" loop -- aside of causing you a headache, probably.

Said that, I am not sure if this is what you want to achieve, but have a look at this approach:

$fact = '1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3'

$servers = split($::fact, ',')
$count   = size($servers)

$names = bracket_expansion("host[01-${count}].address")

file { '/tmp/test.txt':
  content => inline_template('<%= @servers.each_with_index.map {|v,i| "#{v}\t\t#{@names[i]}\n" } %>'),
  ensure  => present
}

What we have there are two custom functions: size() and bracket_expansion(); which we then use values that they provide inside a hack that leverages the inline_template() function to render content of the file utilising parallel access to two arrays -- one with IP addresses from your fact and one with host names that should follow.

The result is a follows:

matti@acrux ~ $ cat | puppet apply
$fact = '1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3'

$servers = split($::fact, ',')
$count   = size($servers)

$names = bracket_expansion("host[01-${count}].address")

file { '/tmp/test.txt':
  content => inline_template('<%= @servers.each_with_index.map {|v,i| "#{v}\t\t#{@names[i]}\n" } %>'),
  ensure  => present
}
notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/test.txt]/ensure: created
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.07 seconds
matti@acrux ~ $ cat /tmp/test.txt 
1.1.1.1         host01.address
2.2.2.2         host02.address
3.3.3.3         host03.address
matti@acrux ~ $

Both size() and bracket_expansion() functions can be found here:

I hope this helps a little :-)
