Puppet resources have metaparameters like 'notify', 'subscribe', 'before',
'require' that make it possible to make things happen in the desired
sequence; so it is possible to have 'exec' resources that trigger on some
conditions.
It might be going a bit beyond the intention of Puppet; but you could
create a file if an error occurs, and then test using 'onlyif' in an 'exec'
to create a ticket if the file exists.
Or you can create custom modules and implement the logic in Ruby code.
