Solution to Ganglia-Puppet installation problem

Problem: when trying to enable jhoblitt/ganglia modules on cld-ganglia, the following error was reported:

 cld-foreman puppet-master[10066]: Module ganglia is not supported on operatingsystemmajrelease  at
 /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/ganglia/manifests/params.pp:51 on node cld-ganglia.cloud.pd.infn.it

Solution:

old version of facter package was causing the message:

      [root@cld-foreman ~]# facter operatingsystemmajrelease
      6
      [root@cld-foreman ~]# facter --version
      1.7.3
      [root@cld-foreman ~]# yum list facter
      [...]
      Installed Packages
      facter.x86_64                                      1:1.7.3-1.el6                                      @puppetlabs-products
      Available Packages

      facter.x86_64                                      1:1.7.4-1.el6                                      puppetlabs-products 
 
      [root@cld-ganglia ~]# facter operatingsystemmajrelease
      [root@cld-ganglia ~]# facter --version
      1.6.18     
      [root@cld-ganglia ~]# yum list facter
      [...]
      Installed Packages
      facter.x86_64                            1.6.18-3.el6                             @Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux/6.1

install missing puppetlabs repositories - through the puppetlabs-release package:

    [root@cld-ganglia ~]# rpm -ivh https://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-6-7.noarch.rpm

update facter package and run the puppet-agent, when the process finished check that ganglia-* packages were installed:

    [root@cld-ganglia ~]# yum update facter
     [...]
     Updated:
     facter.x86_64 1:1.7.4-1.el6                                                                                             
 
     Complete!
