Ha! My team totally ran into the same issue. I was hoping that Padraig's crudini would make my dreams come true but I don't think it's handling multi-string options. https://github.com/pixelb/crudini So +1 to getting rid of those.

So I recently ran into a fun config issue in trying to configure Nova to work w/ Ceilometer using Puppet: https://bugs.launchpad.net/puppet-ceilometer/+bug/1217867 Today, what you need to do to make Nova work with ceilometer is add this to your nova.conf file: notification_driver=nova.openstack.common.notifier.rpc_notifier notification_driver=ceilometer.compute.nova_notifier As it turns out Multi-line config entries aren't very fun to deal with in the config management world. The puppet nova_config provider doesn't (yet) have a good way to support them. The core of the issue is they pose all sorts of problems in knowing whether a given tool should modify the existing config values. In the short term we can look into doing one of these Puppet land: -Using a conf.d directory for config (would require a change to the nova-compute init script to use --config-dir) -String together various resources in puppet to "make it work", etc. (file_line, augeus, etc) Long term though I'm thinking what if MultiStrOpt's were to go away? They seem to be more trouble than they are worth...
