#mcollective

We're seeing an issue with the latest puppet plugin, we're getting this error:

agents.rb:71:in `loadagent' Loading agent puppet failed: Could not create instance of plugin MCollective::Agent::Puppet: undefined method `base_context' for Puppet:Module

we're running 1.7.1-1 of the plugin in centos 5. If we down grade the plugin, it works. Anyone else seeing this?

bsg_kwolf: think it inadvertantly only supports the latest puppet

bsg_kwolf: but also thought that got fixed, but seems thats the same error

huh, could be.

we're running 3..1.1

it's fixed but not shipped as a package yet. 1.7.2 fixes it

build is going to pull the handle on packages tomorrow I think

thanks.

so in the meantime, install 1.7.0, sorry for the pain

No worries.

Hey all, How do you use the mcollective module to install mcolelctive plugins via hiera?

Which module? The puppetlabs one or the one from the book? The PL one is described in its readme.

FYI: anyone who bought the early release version of the book, a metric ton of updates went out today :)

The puppetlabs one, though the readme descibes config if done via .pp files only from what I can see. No hiera

kemra102: you don't without writing a wrapper because the plugin thing is a define

and hiera only parameterises classes

but you can do $plugins = hiera('some::key') create_resource('mcollective::plugin', $plugins)

kemra102: but for this kind of question #puppet is better, as it's more about the puppet module that manages mcollective rather than mcollective itself

Thanks _rc I might ask there but that's useful to know, thanks.
