Issue #5239 has been updated by Peter Meier.

while I see Brice's concerns and ideas, I think it would be still wrong to not 
be able to collect things across environment. Especially for things such as 
monitoring or backup registration.

Bug #5239: Exported resources are hard to collect by environment
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5239

Author: Jordan Sissel
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2
Keywords: exported resources collection environments
Branch: 


I noticed today that Foo <<| |>> collects all Foo resources regardless of 
environment. Doing Foo <<| environment == ... |>> would be cool, but I don't 
think that works.

Why was this a problem? I have multiple deployments; some of which cannot see 
each other on the network (outside of the storeconfigs db). As a result of this 
behavior (collect all resources in all environments), I have nagios instances 
that try to monitor machines they can't see and thus all checks fail and pager 
goes beep beep. ;)

I found a work around using tags.

<pre>
node default {
  # Globally apply an environment-based tag to all resources on each node.
  tag("deployment::$environment")
  ...
}

# And later ...

SomeResource <<| tag == "deployment::$environment" |>> 
</pre>

The above workaround is sufficient for me to continue deploying exported 
resources (not a blocker).

I was expecting collectors of exported resources would only, by default, get 
resources from the same environment. Barring that, I think a query of <<| 
environment == ... |>> would be quite useful rather than resorting to tagging.
