You can check this awesome tool by RI: https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-catalog-diff It's now available as a Forge module, which should even more help using it. It produces a report that lists the differences between catalogs (old/new resources, and differences between changed resources). It is specifically useful when upgrading a puppet master to a new version to spot differences in behavior. -- Brice Figureau Follow the latest Puppet Community evolutions on www.planetpuppet.org! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
