Possible to subscribe to all resources of a specific type?

[Schofield]

Is it possible to subscribe to a specific type?  For example, refresh a resource if any resources of the type 'user' change?  If so what's the syntax?

Hi Ben,

A resource collector should do what you want https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_collectors.html.

User<| |> ~> Resource['my_resource']

*should* work (not tested).

Thanks,

Trevor

yes, be aware though if you have virtual resources this will also realise those matching
