Is there a way in puppet to back out what it has done in a transaction? I can''t seem to find this, nor any reasonably easy way to access the filebucket other than looking through the logs and knowing the md5sum of the file that you want to retrieve (not helpful when puppet inadvertently destroys an entire directory tree :P) This has worked for me up til now, but now I have a requirement for a simple backout rather than decoding all the logs (I''m having someone make changes in puppet that''s not intimately familiar with the particular environment, so fixing something quickly based on logs is somewhat out of the question) TIA -Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Question on backing out a transaction
Jon, There is no real rollback mechanism at this time. What kind of change management process have you put in place? Vet changes to Puppet manifests through a dev/test/prod progression. --Andrew On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 6:37 AM, Jon Stanley <jonstanley@gmail.com> wrote:> > Is there a way in puppet to back out what it has done in a > transaction?
