Thanks for the reply KW, but thats not quite what I was asking. Heres the
relevant section of the template:
*.notice;news.none;cron.none @loghost:514
<% if @hostname == "foo" %>
# Provides UDP syslog reception
$ModLoad imudp.so
$UDPServerRun 514
<% end %>
So you can see it lives outside of a <% %> block.
This part: "*.notice;news.none;cron.none @loghost:514*" *should be a
literal string. Its a standard rsyslog configuration. "Loghost" is the
actual hostname of a host in our network that we send all of our servers'
syslogs to. In other words, I don't want it to be evaluated as ERB code.
So how can I have puppet/the template engine ignore the '@' symbol and
treat it as a literal string?
