I don't think this is working too hot, if i set it to: config_version = /bin/date it works, i get the message: info: Applying configuration version 'Sat Oct 10 17:53:33 BST 2009' If i set it to a script - bash script, executable by puppet user etc - that runs /bin/date i get '' But that aside, I question the usefulness - reports getting tagged with this information, that's just not happening in a way thats useful at all, the only place where this shows up is in Puppet::Util::Log instance for the line above and its in the middle of the string in a way that hard to get it out. See http://pastie.org/649615 for such a report. Much more useful would have been say a property on the main Puppet::Transaction::Report object for the version applied, or even just in syslog if the logs would get tagged with this on each log entry since the 'Applying configuration version' message above only show up in for example --test not in normal use. I think it has potential for being useful. For instance if I've just pushed out a new revision of my code I might wait 30 minutes and quickly run through the last reports received and check the version property and report any machines that dont have the new code, or my reporting app could checks whats the manifest revision and report on any nodes not yet on that version. The current implimentation force us to do this by running through an array of Puppet::Util::Log objects and doing regex matching on the 'message' property - that just isn't useful. -- R.I.Pienaar --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
