Hi J, The create resources function was created to serve this exact use case (the README actually mentions your exact use case :) )
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources This will require 2.6.5 or higher to work (That is the first version where ENC's support param classes) The function was also merged into core in 2.7.0 -Dan On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 1:40 PM, Justin Lambert <jlamb...@localmatters.com>wrote: > I have recently started moving the config of our puppet hosts out of the > nodes files and into an ENC so they can be managed through a web UI by > someone with less technical experience without the fear of a typo causing a > failure of all catalogs to compile.
