I am running Puppet 2.7.x (x varies from 14 to 20 on different machines).
I am trying to use Puppet to deploy a new Zabbix agent configuration file.
On all machines where the file wasn't a symlink, the deployment worked.
However, every machine where it is a link, Puppet refuses to replace teh
link with a regular file or do anything with it.
I've read the type reference, and I see nothing specific about forcing
symlink replacement. I've looked at the source, and it seems like
remove_existing should be unlinking teh symlink ahead of my new file. But,
it isn't happening. Any suggestions on hwo to do this?
File {
backup => main,
owner => "root",
group => $operatingsystem ? {
freebsd => "wheel",
default => "root",
},
mode => 644,
ensure => present,
}
class zabbix {
file {
'/usr/local/etc/zabbix':
ensure => 'directory';
'/usr/local/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf':
content => template("zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf.erb"),
}
...
