One of the nice features of using the Tidy resource to prune a directory hierarchy in puppet is that any File resources you create within that tree will not be touched. However, the tidy resource *will* log that it is tidying them. This is not good. I like puppet to log any changes it makes so that logwatch can pick them up - puppet should only need to make changes if the state of the node is not as described. Unfortunately, with the Tidy logging as it is, where I want to tidy any files not managed by puppet I either have to set the loglevel for the tidy resource so that it doesn't log *anything* or suffer spurious log messages and explicitly filter them out on the logwatch side.
I think it would be reasonable of puppet not to log the tidying of files which are not actually tidied. Do people agree? In which case I'll file a bug report. Or have I missed a clean way of resolving this? -- Bruce A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now feeling as miserable as you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
