[Puppet Users] Could not find resource 'File[/etc/logrotate.d/syslog]

[Dan Crisp]

Hi,

I'm seeing the following error when running the agent on a server:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: 
Server Error: Could not find resource 'File[/etc/logrotate.d/syslog]' in 
parameter 'subscribe' (file: 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/base/manifests/syslog.pp, 
line: 21) on node lhcsrvmtrrsl01.fixnetix.com

I want the logrotate command to run every time there is a change to the 
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog file.  Thought this could be achieved via the 
following:

  exec { 'LogRotate':
    path        => '/usr/sbin',
    command     => 'logrotate -vdf /etc/logrotate.d/syslog 2>/dev/null',
    subscribe   => File['/etc/logrotate.d/syslog'],
    refreshonly => true,
  }

I can't work out why the agent is complaining re Could not find resource 
'File[/etc/logrotate.d/syslog]'

# puppet resource file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
file { '/etc/logrotate.d/syslog':
  ensure   => 'file',
  content  => '{md5}e59f6816e9fcd21174501313720c660f',
  ctime    => '2019-10-22 21:36:25 +0100',
  group    => 0,
  mode     => '0644',
  mtime    => '2019-10-22 21:36:25 +0100',
  owner    => 0,
  selrange => 's0',
  selrole  => 'object_r',
  seltype  => 'etc_t',
  seluser  => 'system_u',
  type     => 'file',
}
