Hi, check this ticket. https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-6723
It is hard to explain, but the 'and' a resource collector does niot behave like the 'boolean and' as we expect this.

So on my site.pp i have the following line for ordering my firewall rules: site.pp --------- if $::kernel == 'Linux' { # Make sure every firewall rule not pre or post is created in the middle Firewall <| tag != 'pre' and tag != 'post' |> { before +> Class['profiles::fw_rules::post'], require +> Class['profiles::fw_rules::pre'], } } Then on another class I'm doing the following (This is a class for a postgresql client): @@firewall { "222 tcp:5432 pgpool from ${::ipaddress}/32" : action => 'accept', source => "${::ipaddress}/32", dport => '5432', proto => 'tcp', tag => [ $tag, 'postgresql_client' ], } On the postgresql servers I do: # Grab all firewall rules created for this cluster Firewall <<| tag == $tag and tag == 'postgresql_client' |>> I would expect that the rule to only appear on the postgresql server, but what ends up happening is that the rule is realized on both the server and the client. On the documentation for resource collector (https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/lang_collectors.html#exported-resource-collectors): Collectors realize virtual resources, are used in chaining statements, and override resource attributes. on that very same page we have the following for exported resource collectors: An exported resource collector uses a modified syntax that realizes exported resources and imports resources published by other nodes. Have anybody else found a similar issue? I do not recall encountering this issue myself, but I concur that I expect ordinary resource collectors to not collect exported resources, no matter what node declares them. Although exported resources and exported resource collectors are both syntactically and semantically analogous to virtual resources and ordinary resource collectors, they are and have always been distinct. The documentation presents no reason to think otherwise, and in fact generally supports that position, though I am unaware of any place where it states it in so many words. Therefore, if indeed it is the case that an ordinary resource collector is collecting exported resources, then I concur that that constitutes a bug, and a fairly serious one at that. I suggest you file a bug report. Do note, however, that in the event that an exported resource is collected for a given target node via an exported resource collector, I do expect that for all intents and purposes it is then treated as an ordinary resource, and in particular, that it ordinary collectors will then affect it with respect to parameter overrides and chaining (in the scope of the current catalog building job). The thing that ordinary collectors ought not to do with respect to exported resources is import them.
