I have installed the postgresql module from Puppetforge.
How can I query Postgresql resources using ralsh ?
None of the following works:
# ralsh postgresql::db
# ralsh puppetlabs/postgresql::db
# ralsh puppetlabs-postgresql::db
I was hoping to use this to get a list of databases (including attributes such as character sets) and user names/passwords from the current system in a form that I can paste into a puppet manifest to recreate that setup on a different machine.
In principle, any puppet client gets the current state of your system from another program called Facter. You should create a custom Fact (a module of Facter), and then included into your puppet client. Afterwards, I think you could call this custom Fact from ralsh.
More information about creating a custom Fact can be found in here.
In creating your own Fact, you should execute your SQL query and then save the result into particular variable.

Trying to clean up some testing for IaC using Inspec, But hardcoding security_group_ids is a no go for obvious reasons.
Im trying to use the ruby sdk instead to pull down the id based of a name (ie like you do with Terraform data resources).
But we work from aws named profiles and while Inspec can connect to named profiles when i run the test ie :
inspec exec . -t aws://prod_account
Is it possible from Inspec to link the call to aws named profiles to ruby code within a control?
since inspec is written in ruby, you can embed any ruby code within your spec files. for instance, you can have a ruby code with an array and for each array have a spec code.
thus, you can implement a logic for collecting the security group ids and then iterate over them.
I've got two projects (backoffice and frontoffice) deployed using CloudFormation.
In the frontoffice, I import some DynamoDB table names from the backoffice stack as Environment variables for my Lambdas.
To run some acceptance tests I need to sometimes deploy the frontoffice withtout deploying the backoffice. Therefore, the frontoffice will try to do an ImportValue of an Export that doesn't exists.
Is there any pattern that would allow me to get the Frontend deployed anyway - and then handle the lack of value in my code ?
You could pass an additional Parameter to frontoffice indicating whether you are going to deploy with backoffice or not.
Based on the value of the parameter, you could use DependsOn and/or Fn::If to either import or not the DynamoDB table names.
For a fully automated solution without any extra Parameter, you would have to use custom resource. The resource would be a lambda function, which would use AWS SDK to query CloudFormation stacks and check for backoffice.
I want to include a properties file of environment variables to better integrate between environments in AWS deployment of WSO2 Identity Server. I could put all the environment variables in line in the wso2server.sh, but it would be better to inject a properties file that has all the variables I need.
I am trying to include:
-Ddeployment.conf="$CARBON_HOME/repository/conf/etc/dev-env.properties" \
in the wso2server.sh where my dev-env.properties has variables that I want to include in the xml configurations. An example being the usr-mgt.xml connection string:
<Property name="ConnectionURL">${user.mgt.connection.url}</Property>
I could do -Duser.mgt.connection.url="connection-string" \ but I have about 20 properties that I currently want to set this way and would prefer to keep them all in one file instead of in line environment variables. I found this Medium article
describing something like what I am looking for but I'm not sure it's exactly what I want and it was unclear how to implement this.
Do I need to write a Java Util class to read these environment variables from the properties file or is there a simpler way to do this? And if I need a utils class what would that look like?
As far as I know, this feature will support from the WSO2 products which are based on Carbon Kernek 5 and onwards. But at the moment most of the WSO2 products are based on kernel version 4.0. Therefore I think you can't get this done with existing WSO2 products.
I am trying to script an openam deployment using ssoadm, and want to know what will be the fastest and fool proof way to get the attribute names for ssoadm?
Right now, i login to the console and "view html source" for the attribute i am interested in, and use that via ssoadm. But, this approach is time consuming, plus with openam13 the attribute names are not available in the source.
Are you interested in any configuration or service in particular?
For most configurations and services (such as datastores, auth modules, server properties, etc...) there is an ssoadm command that will give you the current values from where you can grab the property names and use the in your script.
For example if you have a Datastore called OpenDJ in your top-level realm you can get the current configuration values using the following command:
ssoadm show-datastore -u amadmin -f /tmp/amadmin.pwd -e / -m OpenDJ
Typically it's just a matter of finding the right ssoadm command. Another option will be to look at the service definition. All these definitions are kept in xml format in your configuration store inside ou=Services.
Hope this helps.
I think the easiest approach is probably to look up the service XML files. At the time of the configuration, the service XML files are all copied over to ~/<OPENAM_HOME>/config/xml folder, so normally you can just try to grep for certain strings (like dynamic), but even then that may not work well.
If you know what service you are dealing with, then things get a bit easier. Are you trying to change an Authentication configuration? It must be defined in amAuth.xml then. The service name to be used for the ssoadm command is defined in the <Service> element under the "name" attribute. The service attribute names are defined under <AttributeSchema> elements with "name" attribute.
Yet another alternative would be to just read the documentation as most of the property names are already documented:

I want to configure my existing rails application to use mongoid instead of a sql database. Ideally, I would have used "rails new --skip-active-record name_here." How do I do this after I've already made an application? I haven't done anything with the model or database yet so there are no files that i created relating to the database aside from what was made when I created the rails project.
You can start by manually removing references to ActiveRecord::Base in your model files and replace them by include Mongoid::Document
You might also need to comment every line starting by config.active_record in your environment configuration files.
You'll find these files in /config/environments/
Then you can use the rails g mongoid:config command to generate the mongoid.yml configuration file.
PS : When using rake you'll have to use rake db:mongoid:* commands.
EDIT:
Also remove require rails/all
You'll have to require each framework separately, for example :
require "action_controller/railtie"
require "action_mailer/railtie"
require "sprockets/railtie"
require "rails/test_unit/railtie"
The complete list of frameworks included in rails/all is here :
active_record
action_controller
action_view
action_mailer
active_job
rails/test_unit
sprockets
You can also disable all migration check in test/test_helper.rb
