Im going to second this guy. I believe puppet should ALWAYS collect facts after it is done. The amount of changes it can make to a server, during a catalog run, can be massive. Without reporting those changes, bad things can occur. It really really limits the potential of having a complete and correct inventory system.
As Paul has done, I too make the last thing to run on all my catalogs, another upload of puppet facts. Now I know what changes have been made. There are many other people out there that have requested this, so we can't be the only ones. On a most basic level, I dont see any possible way to argue for the current method. Current method: Collect facts -> change system config -> Don't collect those changes Our method: Collect facts -> change system config -> recollect change facts -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
