Issue #8417 has been updated by Deepak Giridharagopal.

This still happens under puppetdb. I actually have always considered this a 
valid thing, FWIW. I assumed that --noop mode meant that the catalog is still 
accurate, but it's application on the local system is side-effect free. 
However, the presence of storeconfigs means that in order to compile your 
catalogs, you need to be persisting them centrally even in the noop case. 
Otherwise your catalogs may not be accurate or have the latest data.

Also, we've used this "feature" as a way to help users migrate to PuppetDB. You 
switch to PuppetDB, then trigger a noop run across your infrastructure (or just 
wait for machines to check in). Then PuppetDB will be fully populated 
automatically with the latest data. Zero users have complained about this 
behavior to me, and in fact many of them seem to expect it (like they've asked 
me if that will still work).

Bug #8417: Exported resources is exporting to the database with --noop flag
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8417#change-67269

Author: Andrew Thompson
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Deepak Giridharagopal
Category: exported resources
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.4
Keywords: ntbf
Branch: 


When I run puppet with the noop flag resources are being exported to the
db.

I would expect it to simulate the transaction with the db...

This is causing things like nagios host resources being creating before the 
plugins get there, so I get invalid alerts.
