Issue #3139 has been updated by Luke Kanies.

Status changed from Accepted to Ready for Testing
Target version changed from queued to 2.6
Branch set to luke/tickets/master/3139-file_tracking

Fixed in my tickets/master/3139-file_tracking branch.

I've deprecated the 'check' parameter and replaced it with 'audit', and you can 
now audit any parameter at all, rather than just file checksums.

Note that this is a major feature - you can essentially replace Tripwire or 
equivalent tools with this functionality.

Bug #3139: File tracking no longer works
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3139

Author: Luke Kanies
Status: Ready for Testing
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Luke Kanies
Category: file
Target version: 2.6
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: 
Branch: luke/tickets/master/3139-file_tracking


Used to be you could passively monitor files and just log when they changed, a 
la tripwire, but that feature seems to have gone away sometime recently without 
anyone noticing.

I think the mechanism before was something like:
<pre>
file { "/tmp/foo": check => checksum }
</pre>
I've been thinking of refactoring the 'Checksum' parameter to make it into a 
parameter rather than a property, like I recently did with 'source', and this 
might be a good time to do so.

This feature has been coming up a *ton* recently, though, as people look more 
at using Puppet for compliance and security auditing.
