service resource running always makes a corrective change

[Andy Hall]

Hey there - we have a server where part of the manifest is as follows:

  service { 'nfs':
    enable  => true,
    ensure  => running,
  }

Nice and simple however on every puppet run we get the following output which is recorded as a change:

[root@server ~]# puppet agent --test


Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Info: Loading facts
Info: Caching catalog for server
Info: Applying configuration version '1573029117'


Notice: /Stage[main]/Flex::Profiles::Archive::Server/Service[nfs]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' (corrective)
Info: /Stage[main]/Flex::Profiles::Archive::Server/Service[nfs]: Unscheduling refresh on Service[nfs]


Notice: Applied catalog in 18.92 seconds

Could it be something to do with the fact that it is systemd ? This is CentOS 7:

[root@server ~]# service nfs status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status nfs.service

Any thoughts on how this could be handled more gracefully ? Thanks very much.

Name mismatch. Use "nfs-server" in your resource.

HTH...

As far as I can tell from here, the process that's supposed to be running (rpc.nfsd) is not running and systemd therefore says the service is not running (Active: active (exited)). A running service would be Active: active (running) and showing the processes in the CGroup section.
