Puppet users - Mar 2011 - Defines in External node classifier

Hello,

Does anyone know if external node classifiers support defined resource types?  I
am able to do it through the internal ''node X { }'' but
I''m not sure if this is possible with the external node yaml.

I started by doing it with parameterized classes as described here:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5045

However I found some cases where there were multiple instances of the same thing
running on the server with slightly different parameters.  For this reason I had
to use define instead of class.

Thanks
Matt

HI Matthew,

Have a look at this custom function that I wrote:

https://github.com/puppetlabs/create_resources

The README has an example of how to pass defined resources as class
parameters through an ENC.
