suppress notice for file resource recursive

[Constantin Wolber]

Hi,

i searched quite a bit in the documentations and through google but did not find a suitable solution.

I am using the file resource to change the ownership of a directory recursively. What happens is that for every single file a notice is generated for change of user and of group. Since I'm using some reports on the puppetmaster this puts a lot of uninteresting information in those reports. So is there any chance of suppressing those notices?

I only found a solution for a manual run but not for an automatic run. Since the --logdest would also suppress notices that are interesting in other situations.

You can drop the resource loglevel to debug,

file { '/tmp/a':

  ensure => directory,

  recurse => true,

  loglevel => 'debug',

}

This will suppress the change message unless you run puppet agent with the flag --debug, but you should still see the refresh notice if something changes.

HTH,

Nan

Hi,

thx  a lot for the answer. I was experimenting with the loglevel already but misunderstood the concept :)

So everything works now as expected. 

Once again thx alot
