My environment is inherited and large. It covers thousands of machines and is complex, unclear or unnatural dependancies and circular logic are not strange problems to run into.
We build significant numbers of apache confs out of puppet using bits and pieces of different files from different places. This makes it very easy to place a directive at the wrong place in a file, that exact scenario recently caused an outage.
I'd like to be able to see a list of compiled files before they make it to the host, so that I can verify them externally from puppet through apache configtest, code review, or other methods.
I've looked at puppet master --compile hostname but I really need something that would just put together raw files, as this could be used to clean up many, many other things in my environment.
Any idea?
