For me, the killer app for storeconfigs is exported SSH host keys.
That's information that my puppetmaster *doesn't* have in its
manifests, and needs to collect from clients. That said, sshkey
resources are giving me trouble in 0.24.8, with puppetd logging errors
such as:
puppetd[6170]: Got an uncaught exception of type ArgumentError: Field
'name' is required
And unusual messages like:
puppetd[6170]: Sshkey absent found in both parsed and parsed;
skipping the parsed version
I've not yet had time to track down this issue (and should probably do
so in the 0.25 beta, anyway), but I wonder if anyone else has seen this.
