In other words, if it was possible to keep "storing configs" but exported resource collectors were ignored. This is rather cheap to achieve by introducing a new configuration option and patching the exported resources collector, something like: @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ class Puppet::Pops::Evaluator::Collectors::ExportedCollector < Puppet::Pops::Eva # Ensures that storeconfigs is present before calling AbstractCollector's # evaluate method def evaluate - if Puppet[:storeconfigs] != true + if Puppet[:storeconfigs] != true || Puppet[:collect_exported_resources] == false return false end https://github.com/puppet/puppet/blob/389dbf644582560c704304a7e7e7b0801efc2c83/lib/puppet/pops/evaluator/collectors/exported_collector.rb#L21 Would you be happy to review and eventually merge a patch adding this new configuration option with default value true and, as consequence, to modify the semantics of storeconfigs?
