Possible wrong Stdlib type in gmond.pp

[jpn25]

Hi

Just been using your module and have been getting this error:

Class[Ganglia::Gmond]: parameter 'cluster_url' expects a match for Stdlib::Fqdn = Pattern[/\A(([a-zA-Z0-9]|[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-][a-zA-Z0-9]).)([A-Za-z0-9]|[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-][A-Za-z0-9])\z/], got 'http://*****/ganglia

Should the relevant line in gmond.pp be:
Optional[Stdlib::HTTPUrl] $cluster_url = undef,
rather than:
Optional[Stdlib::Fqdn] $cluster_url = undef,

Regards
John

No, it should be a Fqdn, see above test coverage

Edit: https://forge.puppet.com/modules/puppetlabs/stdlib#stdlibfqdn as well

Yes, but the gmond.conf man page (https://manpages.debian.org/testing/ganglia-monitor/gmond.conf.5.en.html) suggests that the cluster section should have the following:

The cluster section has four attributes: name, owner, latlong and url.

   For example,

     cluster {
       name = "Millennium Cluster"
       owner = "UC Berkeley CS Dept."
       latlong = "N37.37 W122.23"
       url = "http://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/"
     }

the url should contain a url, not just the fqdn.

That might be correct for the product (or the end result) but it would be a breaking change to all those people who have the module installed.

@frizop I think if this would be a breaking change for many you'd have had this bugreport a long time ago, as cluster_url has been in there since 2012. in any case, couldn't you just bump the major version number to let users know of an incompatible change?

[jhoblitt]

I concur that it should be Optional[Stdlib::HTTPUrl].

[jhoblitt]

Rather, lets go with Optional[Variant[Stdlib::HTTPUrl,Stdlib::Fqdn]] so that it won't break existing manifests.
