Foreman » Installer

External node script provided by foreman could use puppet's log facility so that all messages could be seen in one log.

Here is an example:

1. a simple script which fetches external nodes from Foreman
2. you can basically use anything that knows how to get http data, e.g. wget/curl etc.

1. Foreman url
   foreman_url="http://foreman:3000"

require 'net/http'
require 'puppet'

Puppet.parse_config
Puppet::Util::Log.level = :debug
Puppet::Util::Log.newdestination(:syslog)

foreman_url += "/node/#{ARGV⁰}?format=yml"
url = URI.parse(foreman_url)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(foreman_url)
res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port) { |http|
http.request(req)
}

case res
when Net::HTTPOK
puts res.body
Puppet.debug("Foreman response for node %s is ok" % ARGV⁰)
else
msg = "Error retrieving node %s: %s" % [ARGV⁰, res.class]
$stderr.puts msg
Puppet.err(msg)
end
