Alternative Augeas-based providers for Puppet
Browse collection: herculesteam
Ensure both Augeas and ruby-augeas 0.3.0+ bindings are installed and working as normal.
See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.
On Puppet 2.7.14+, the module can be installed easily (documentation):
puppet module install herculesteam/augeasproviders
New types provided by augeasproviders can be used out of the box. See the providers page and puppet doc -r type output.
You may see an error similar to this on Puppet 2.x (#13858):
Error 400 on SERVER: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Invalid resource type `kernel_parameter` at ...
Ensure the module is present in your puppetmaster’s own environment (it doesn’t
have to use it) and that the master has pluginsync enabled. Run the agent on
the puppetmaster to cause the custom types to be synced to its local libdir
(puppet master --configprint libdir) and then restart the puppetmaster so it
loads them.
