Hi Jeffrey,

You cannot override the default parameter to be undef, but you can override the service resource's behaviour with a resource collector[0]. It's less than ideal because you have to know the name of the service, but something like this:

        class{'apache':}
        Service <|title == 'apache'|> {
          noop => true,
        }

should work. You can alternatively search by the class tag, but be sure it has no unintended side effects.

Cheers,
David

Hello,

I apologize in advance if this question is redundant.

I'm using puppet version 2.7.11 (because that's what Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has to offer) and I'd like to override a class default parameter with 'undef'.  For example, the puppetlabs 'apache' module (version 0.10.0) sets 'ensure => running' for service 'apache' by default.  I do not what puppet to attempt starting or stopping apache, so I'm trying the following (which does not work): 

  class {
    'apache': service_ensure => undef;
  }

The above gives me the default 'ensure => running' for the 'apache' service.  Any idea how I can express 'ensure => undef' when declaring the apache class in my manifest?

Could suppose I could always hack the 'apache' module, but would prefer not to.

Thanks,
Jeffrey
