# Puppet External Data Sources
#
# This is a parser function to read data from external files, this version
# uses CSV files but the concept can easily be adjust for databases, yaml
# or any other queryable data source.
#
# The object of this is to make it obvious when it's being used, rather than
# magically loading data in when an module is loaded I prefer to look at the code
# and see statements like:
#
#     $snmp_contact = extlookup("snmp_contact")
#
# The above snippet will load the snmp_contact value from CSV files, this in its
# own is useful but a common construct in puppet manifests is something like this:
#
# case $domain {
#      "myclient.com": { $snmp_contact = "John Doe <john@myclient.com>" }
#      default:        { $snmp_contact = "My Support <support@my.com>" }
# }
#
# Over time there will be a lot of this kind of thing spread all over your manifests
# and adding an additional client involves grepping through manifests to find all the
# places where you have constructs like this.
#
# This is a data problem and shouldn't be handled in code, a using this function you
# can do just that.
#
# First you configure it in site.pp:
# $extlookup_datadir = "/etc/puppet/manifests/extdata"
# $extlookup_precedence = ["%{fqdn}", "domain_%{domain}", "common"]
#
# The array tells the code how to resolve values, first it will try to find it in
# web1.myclient.com.csv then in domain_myclient.com.csv and finally in common.csv
#
# Now create the following data files in /etc/puppet/manifests/extdata
#
# domain_myclient.com.csv:
#    snmp_contact,John Doe <john@myclient.com>
#    root_contact,support@%{domain}
#    client_trusted_ips,192.168.1.130,192.168.10.0/24
#
# common.csv:
#    snmp_contact,My Support <support@my.com>
#    root_contact,support@my.com
#
# Now you can replace the case statement with the simple single line to achieve
# the exact same outcome:
#
#    $snmp_contact = extlookup("snmp_contact")
#
# The obove code shows some other features, you can use any fact or variable that
# is in scope by simply using %{varname} in your data files, you can return arrays
# by just having multiple values in the csv after the initial variable name.
#
# In the event that a variable is nowhere to be found a critical error will be raised
# that will prevent your manifest from compiling, this is to avoid accidentally putting
# in empty values etc.  You can however specify a default value:
#
#    $ntp_servers = extlookup("ntp_servers", "1.${country}.pool.ntp.org")
#
# In this case it will default to "1.${country}.pool.ntp.org" if nothing is defined in
# any data file.
#
# You can also specify an additional data file to search first before any others at use
# time, for example:
#
# $version = extlookup("rsyslog_version", "present", "packages")
#
# package{"rsyslog": ensure => $version }
#
# This will look for a version configured in packages.csv and then in the rest as configured
# by $extlookup_precedence if it's not found anywhere it will default to "present", this kind
# of use case makes puppet a lot nicer for managing large amounts of packages since you do not
# need to edit a load of manifests to do simple things like adjust a desired version number.
#
# For more information on installing and writing your own custom functions see:
#    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_functions.html
#
# For further help contact Volcane on #puppet
