Bug #5408: Puppet should allow audited attributes to also be managed
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5408

Author: Jeff McCune
Status: Code Insufficient
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: auditing/compliance
Target version: 2.6.5
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3
Keywords: ae8890f89d318e0c2716bb0d9ba4e90e auditfixup iteration_2010-12-01
Branch: 


Overview
========

Puppet currently does not allow a resource attribute to be audited and managed 
in the same catalog run.  If a resource attribute is both audited and managed 
then management trumps auditing and the attribute is managed, not audited.

    File { mode => "0644" }

    file { "/tmp/audit_and_managed.txt":
      audit => [ "content", "mode", "owner", ],
    }

In this example, the mode attribute is both managed and audited.  In the 
state.yaml file tracking audit data the mode attribute is not listed.

    "File[/tmp/audit_and_managed.txt]":
      !ruby/sym checked: 2010-11-24 17:35:50.081238 -08:00
      !ruby/sym content: "{md5}cfe710620b5fc76e4dc817034a21ecb4"
      !ruby/sym owner: 402

Expected Behavior
=================

When a resource attribute is both managed and audited using the audit 
meta-parameter, I expect puppet to first record the state of the resource as it 
is _before_ being managed.  In the example in the overview section, if 
/tmp/audit_and_managed.txt has a mode of "0600" then I expect 0600 to be 
recorded in the audit system and Puppet to manage the state to 0644, reporting 
the resource as out of state and transitioned to in-state as normal.

Actual Behavior
===============

The state of a resource attribute being managed is not recorded.  If 
/tmp/audit_and_managed.txt is 0600 and Puppet manages the state to 0644 during 
a catalog run, the fact the file was 0600 is lost and not recorded in the 
auditing system.

Steps to Reproduce
==================

The manifests in 2.6.3 reproduces the issue:

    File { mode => "0644" }

    file { "/tmp/audit_and_managed.txt":
      audit => [ "content", "mode", "owner", ],
    }

The $vardir/state/state.yaml file does not contain the mode attribute 
information while the mode attribute is being managed and audited.
