Silently update checksum_digests db?

[Tero Kantonen]

Hi,

I'm trying to update the checksum_digests silently on the client, but haven't had any luck so far.

Initially I thought {report_changes => "none"} would be the answer, but then it doesn't even update the db. The attribute naming just implied otherwise :)

I've also tried the action body reporting promises, but they had no change on the output.

Here's a contained sample of what I think should work.

body common control { bundlesequence => { "tripwire" }; }
bundle agent tripwire {
vars:
 "triplist" slist => { "/tmp/foo", "/tmp/bar" };
files:
 "$(triplist)"
  comment => "Run twipwire against $(triplist) and silently update hashes if changes are found",
  changes => tripwire,
  action => report_error_only;
}

body changes tripwire {
 hash           => "md5";
 report_changes => "all";
 update_hashes  => "yes";
}

body action report_error_only {
 report_level => "error";
 log_level => "error";
}

What ever I do, the output is always like below if the DB is touched.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALERT: Hash (md5) for /tmp/foo changed!

Preceding promise: Run twipwire against /tmp/foo and silently update hashes if changes are found

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 -> Updating hash for /tmp/foo to MD5=63a8f115a36abfdbd6c939b0556693ae

I: Made in version 'not specified' of './trip_test.cf' near line 7

I: Comment: Run twipwire against /tmp/foo and silently update hashes if changes are found

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALERT: Last modified time for /tmp/foo changed Tue Mar 26 11:32:53 2013 -> Tue Mar 26 11:42:28 2013

Preceding promise: Run twipwire against /tmp/foo and silently update hashes if changes are found

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to do this without sending out alerts?

I'm using community 3.3.7.

I'd be interested in this, too, and had no luck so far. Using 3.4.4.

Ciao!
