A program running on the node has an internal counter.
define mytype (
String foo = undef,
Integer maxcount = undef,
) {
file { $title:
[…]
content => "${foo}\n${maxcount}\n",
}
exec { $title:
command => [… reset internal counter command …],
refreshonly => true,
}
}
How do I make my defined type automatically fire my reset counter command? If `$foo` changes, I do not have to reset the counter. It doesn't harm though. It is just unnecessary. Making a direct `~>` from `file` to `exec` is not what I want.
I could introduce a dummy defined type, having `$maxcount` as a parameter, doing noting else, but `audit => ['maxcount']` and get notifications from the dummy type.
define mydummy (
Integer maxcount = undef,
) {
}
define mytype (
String foo = undef,
Integer maxcount = undef,
) {
file { $title: [… as above …] }
mydummy { $title:
maxcount => $maxcount,
audit => ['maxcount'],
}
exec { $title: [… as above …] }
Mydummy[$title] ~> Exec[$title]
}
However, that's not nice. Is there some other way, to solve this?
PS: No, I do not have to catch the situation, someone locally edited the maxcount line.
