Collector not realizing own exported resources when filtering on tags

[Chuck Bredestege]

I'm trying to create a ssh class where the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv stays updated.  The issue i'm finding is that if I include a "tag == anything" in the Collector filter, it collects all resources EXCEPT it's own.  In this case, the known_hosts and .equiv files will have all the other hostnames, but not it's own hostname.  If I remove the "tag ==" line it works as expected.  I tested this with a common tag "ssh" which I verified is in puppetdb on both exports.

[root@csep0501 ssh]# rpm -qa | grep puppet

puppet-3.2.3-1.el5

(where $dsitename is the lowercase version of a global fact)

    @@sshkey{ "${::fqdn}-ssh-pubkey" :

        tag          => $dsitename,

        ensure       => present,

        host_aliases => [ $::hostname ],

        key          => $::sshrsakey,

        name         => $::fqdn,

        type         => 'ssh-rsa',

    }

    @@file_line{ "${::fqdn}-shosts.equiv" :

        tag     => $dsitename,

        path    => "/etc/ssh/shosts.equiv",

        ensure  => present,

        line    => "+${::fqdn}",

    }

    notify { 'testmessage' :

        message => "Downcased sitename is $dsitename",

    }

    Sshkey <<| tag == 'ssh' and tag == $dsitename |>> {

        require => File['/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts'],

    }

    File_line <<| tag == 'ssh' and tag == $dsitename and path == "/etc/ssh/shosts.equiv" |>>  {

        require => File['/etc/ssh/shosts.equiv'],

    }

Why do you need parameter overrides for 'require'?  Does it not work to declare those directly in the original resource declarations?

Anyway, this looks similar to http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11049.  Can you work around it by explicitly collecting the node's own resources?  For example, add

Sshkey <<| title == "${::fqdn}-ssh-pubkey" |>>
File_line <<| title == "${::fqdn}-shosts.equiv" |>>

(with the 'require' override too, if that turns out to be necessary).

You were right about the require overrides, I moved those into the exported sources instead (looks cleaner that way anyway)

and adding 2 collector lines, one for "everyone else" and one "for myself" worked as you suggested, thanks.
