I don't know about the module you are using but things to verify:
/etc/sudoers contains an include for /etc/sudoers.d
Check that the version of sudo is new enough to support this. You may need to
upgrade it. I had to on a number of my Redhat 5 servers

Puppet only knows about what it is managing or auditing. So, it will always be
limited by what it is told to look at. While you might be able to do something
using the audit feature, I would not recommend it. As it will never be complete
for your purpose.
I'd recommend looking at blueprint.

Every time that I've received this error, it was because 2 different hosts had

This is an OS privilege issue. So puppet has to working within what can be done

By default mount requires root privileges to make changes. This is why it will

Ideally, use packages instead.
But if that is not possible. Put the tarballs on a web server and have the

distributing the files and they will not be in the codebase.

We have seperate repos in git for every puppet module. Each module has a
Jenkins job to auto test it and if it passes updates the super repo (Main repo

Not sure if puppet will let you access regex without being in some type of test.
Also, just habit. I'm usually doing some validation in the regex.
In this case, I've moved validation to after this and have it validate against

You can use regex for that Here is an piece of my code for doing that. In my
