When this happens, I'd also like to make sure we don't hard code it to lookup against specific nodes, but rather a subset of all nodes. "Give me the service tag of all hosts in the east coast data center" If we implement this selection, specific nodes are also implemented "Give me the service tag of all hosts with a hostname foo.bar.com" I think simple selections like this will cover the majority of cases. This begs the question, "Can I specify multiple criteria?" i.e. complex joins, but that can wait until later because it's a rare use case as far as I can tell. -- Jeff McCune http://www.puppetlabs.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
