Updating node's configuration

[cmvelo]

Is there any way to have parts of a node's configuration updated
automatically
and other parts updated on-demand?

i.e.

node1 has two classes associated with it:
• app1_class
• sysconfig_class

and ideally I would like to have the sysconfig_class updated
regularly
(i.e. run puppetd as a daemon), but I would like the app1_class
updated
on-demand only (i.e. puppetd --onetime).

Is there an easy/straightforward way to set this up?

(fyi: using puppet version 25.5)

Thanks,

[Jeff McCune]

You have a few options here. If it's just that one class, you could
run puppetd out of cron every 30 minutes through a trivial wrapper
script that splays. All resources in the sysconfig_class class will
be tagged with "sysconfig_class" so you could just run:

puppetd --test --tags sysconfig_class

If you'd like to apply everything but the app1_class, then please
watch feature request
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3746 which is a request to
support applying all tags except a certain set of tags using the
--tags option.

What I would suggest is to change the puppetd from a daemon to a cron job and add the argument of --tags. This way you can stipulate which classes to run on the cronjob run, which can run every 15mins or so.

eg
15 * * * * pupetd� -t --tags sysconfig_class --report

etc

Wouldn't it be possible to start puppet daemon mode with those options anyway?

Cheers.
