Puppet only knows about what it is managing or auditing. So, it will always be limited by what it is told to look at. While you might be able to do something using the audit feature, I would not recommend it. As it will never be complete for your purpose.
I'd recommend looking at blueprint. There is also a newer tool, but I can't remembered its name at the moment.

It's really a great piece of work.Thanks for doing all this. As part of my work I'm leading the opensource kiwi project which is aplain appliance builder and one aspect of the project is also to help people in migrating a currentlyrunning system into an appliance description which then allows to maintain and build into differentappliance types, e.g the way from bare metal into the virtual world, or from one architecture intoanother. The migration code as it is right now handles the configuration part just by creating copies ofconfiguration files. It relies on config metadata of the rpm database, it takes concepts of autoyastinto place. But all this is a pretty humble approach has some room to fail and also limits to specificdistribution concepts. I was thinking it could be done better/more generic. So my question is, ispuppet able to provide information about the configuration of a system which it did _not_ setupitself in the first place ? information like sshd configuration, apache, etc, etc... my first guess would be it knows bestabout its own resources but not about services running on a system not managed by puppet sofar. Is that correct ? Thanks much Regards,Marcus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
