You can't override this using inheritance because the class already
been declared in init.pp:
class { "pe_compliance::agent":
require => Anchor['pe_compliance::begin'],
before => Anchor['pe_compliance::end'],
}
I don't know the reason why parametrized class was used because
there's really no variables in the agent. One of things you can try is
to replace the module with your own since it's really just one
resource since I don't see any other pe-* module depending on it at
the moment. If there is dependency I missed, you can try copying the
existing module from /opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules/pe_compliance to
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/pe_compliance and customize the copy in
/etc/puppetlabs/modules.
Thanks,
