exported resources question

[Cristian Falcas]

Hello,

When are the exported resources exported and by whom? Are they send by the agent at the end of the run or are written by the server after catalog compilation?

Best regards,

Cristian Falcas

The exported resources are created as part of the catalog compilation process on the master via the @@ prefix on resource declarations. Those resources are part of the local catalog as the compilation progresses. At the end of the compilation, the storeconfigs backend is given access to the catalog. What exactly happens at this point is implementation specific. For puppetdb, the puppetdb catalog terminus is invoked on the puppet master, which extracts the exported resources and stores those in puppetdb as well as the rest of the catalog. After that the master removes the any exported resources from the catalog and sends that catalog to the agent. The agent never sees exported resources that weren't realized into the catalog.
