Issue #5136 has been updated by Peter Meier.
I think this is already possible and you need just to tell puppet to actually "manage" (or audit) the file to record it's checksum so it will realize changes. ---------------------------------------- Bug #5136: Fix notifications from files whose content isn't managed by puppet https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5136 Author: Paul Tötterman Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2 Keywords: file notify Branch: Intuitively something like this should work: file { '/tmp/foobar': notify => ... } so that if something outside of puppet changes the contents of that file, puppet handles the notification. Apparently there is a workaround for this, which is: file { '/tmp/foobar': source => 'file:///tmp/foobar', notify => ... } but that is just hacky.
