This has me worried.  Are you suggesting that I'm using it for something that 
is against its design, or simply that it doesn't actually perform "no 
operations" as a CPU NOP instruction would?

That's a fair assessment of the scope of this, yes.

Bug #7497: I would like separate dbnames for staging and production runs.

Author: Nick Moffitt
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: High
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: stored configuration
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.4
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I have a database for stored configurations, and all my puppeteers 
(puppetmasters local to a network segment) have access to speak to that 
database.  When I do my staging runs --noop, however, resources are exported 
that get collected by production runs.

This kind of pollution is extremely dangerous, as stored configurations are the 
only mechanism we currently have for nodes to communicate configuration status 
to other nodes.  It is highly terrifying to see a front-end server start 
serving requests to a back-end server that only ever went through a --noop 
configuration run.

I tried putting a "dbname = staging" in my [staging] stanza, but it appears 
that I can't have different environments speaking to different databases (even 
on the same server!).  It would be extremely helpful if this were possible.
