I struggle to find a way to disable the trace/track option on one of my RHEL7 servers which is controlled by puppet.

I'm using apache module of puppetlabs.

I want to disable TraceEnable in the httpd.conf file on a single server and not to all servers managed by puppet.

The directive I need to add using puppet is:

TraceEnable Off

I have the YAML file for the server in the location:

/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/test/data/node/server1.yaml

I can edit this file to apply the config on this server only but I don't know what to put in it.

How to call the HTTP module and how to right the directive in the YAML file?

CodePudding user response：

The reference documentation for the puppetlabs-apache module is available from the Puppet Forge. It would tell you that the main class of that module (apache) has a parameter trace_enable, which controls exactly the httpd configuration property you want to manage:

Controls how Apache handles TRACE requests (per RFC 2616) via the TraceEnable directive.

Default value: 'On'

Provided that your manifest set is not explicitly specifying a value for that parameter, you should be able to customize it on a per-node basis by setting the apache::trace_enable key in node-specific hiera data. For example, if the node specific data for the node you want to configure is environments/production/data/node/server1.yaml, then in that file, include the line

apache::trace_enable: 'Off'
