Issue #8417 has been updated by Gabriel Filion. Status changed from Closed to Re-opened
Deepak: humm I don't agree with the idea that "it doesn't matter because the catalog is consistent". it may be true for the local system running with --noop, but it's not true for system that collect resources possibly exported by this node. in some cases, the nagios config may break apart and require manual intervention to unbreak (since the nagios types don't have a working "purge" functionality). this imho is an example of a pretty bad side effect. and the use case presented is rather a case of using an unintentional behaviour to achieve a one-time shot change (which is a clever thing to do for a one-time change). expecting to be able to achieve the same thing in the long run is not really a good idea since the unintentional behaviour could disappear in the future, especially if it's not documented anywhere. I'd still push for fixing the behaviour presented in this issue since it's causing cases where systems get configured for nodes that were never intentioned to be in the first place. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8417: Exported resources is exporting to the database with --noop flag https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8417#change-67655 Author: Andrew Thompson Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson 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. -Andrew -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
