Overview

Manage the installation and configuration of KNOT 1.* and zone files.

Module Description

This module allows for the management of all aspects of the KNOT configuration file, keys and zonefiles.

Setup

What knot affects

  • Manages configuration the knot configueration file
  • Manages zone data in the zone dir
  • dynamicly sets processor count based on installed processes
  • can manage knot control

Setup Requirements OPTIONAL

  • puppetlabs-stdlib 4.11.0
  • icann-tea 0.2.8
  • puppetlabs-concat 1.2.0

Beginning with knot

Install the package an make sure it is enabled and running with default options:

class { '::knot': }

With some basic configueration

class { '::knot':
  ip_addresses => ['192.0.2.1'],
  rrl_size     => 1000,
}

and in hiera

knot::ip_addresses:
- 192.0.2.1
rrl_size: 1000

Usage

Add config with primary tsig key

class {'::knot':
  default_tsig_name: 'test',
  tsigs => {
    'test',=>  {
      'algo' => 'hmac-sha256',
      'data' => 'adsasdasdasd='
    }
  }
}

or with hiera

knot::default_tsig_name: test
knot::tsigs:
  test:
    algo: hmac-sha256
    data: adsasdasdasd=

add zone files. zone files are added with sets of common config.

class {'::knot':
  remotes => {
    master_v4 => { 'address4' => '192.0.2.1' },
    master_v6 => { 'address6' => '2001:DB8::1' },
    slave     => { 'address4' => '192.0.2.2' },
  }
  zones => {
    'example.com' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    },
    'example.net' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    }
    'example.org' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    }
  }
}

in hiera

knot::remotes:
  master_v4:
    address4: 192.0.2.1
  master_v6:
    address4: 2001:DB8::1
  slave:
    address4: 192.0.2.2
knot::zones:
  example.com:
    masters: &id001
    - master_v4
    - master_v6
    provide_xfrs: &id002
    - slave
  example.net:
    masters: *id001
    slave: *id002
  example.org:
    masters: *id001
    slave: *id002

create and as112, please look at the as112 class to see how this works under the hood

  • default_provide_xfrs (Array[String], Default: []): Array of Knot::Remote names to use as the provide_xfr servers if none are specified in the zone hash
  • enable (Bool, Default: true): enable or disable the knot service, config files are still configuered.

  • nsid (String, Default: $::fqdn): A string representing the nsid to add to the EDNS section of the answer when queried with an NSID EDNS enabled packet.
  • log_target (Knot::Log_target, Default: syslog): where to send logs.
  • log_zone_level (Knot::Log_level, Default: notice): Log level for zone messages
