Issue #5155 has been updated by Jordan Sissel.
BTW, the 'suggested fix' I mentioned comes from many sources (mailing list, google, etc). Specifically: This bug http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3299 ---------------------------------------- Bug #5155: Exported custom defines aren't working. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5155 Author: Jordan Sissel Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2 Keywords: exported resources Branch: The suggested fix for nagios_host and friends writing files owned by root and permission 600 is to use an additional file resource to manage the permissions. This makes me want to use a custom define to put the nagios_host and file resources in the same invocation. However, under 2.6.2, at least, this seems not to work. Here's what I have - if I am missing something, let me know! <pre> define nagios::host() { nagios_host { "$name": target => "/etc/nagios3/conf.d/$name.cfg", use => "base-host", address => "$ipaddress_eth0", alias => "$name", } file { "/etc/nagios3/conf.d/$name.cfg": ensure => file, require => Nagios_host[$name], owner => nagios, mode => 644; } } </pre> So then I would do this on each host: <pre> @@nagios::host { $fqdn: } </pre> And then where I want the nagios config files: <pre> Nagios::Host <<| |>> </pre> However, that results in an error: <pre> ops(~) % sudo puppet apply --storeconfigs fetch.pp Exported resource Nagios::Host[frontend1.prod.example.com] cannot override local resource on node ops.prod.example.com ops(~) % cat fetch.pp define nagios::host() { nagios_host { "$name": target => "/etc/nagios3/conf.d/$name.cfg", use => "base-host", address => "$ipaddress_eth0", alias => "$name", } file { "/etc/nagios3/conf.d/$name.cfg": ensure => file, require => Nagios_host[$name], owner => nagios, mode => 644; } } Nagios::Host <<| |>> </pre> I think this is a bug in puppet, though I might be missing something. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
