Puppet users - Apr 2011 - Puppet resource type "notify" and Puppet Dashboard

Hello,

I''m using the following call in my default profile:

        notify { "development":
                message => "Puppet environment development",
                loglevel   => " info";
        }

with similar entries in other environments.

This works as expected with one exception, the way puppetmaster deals
with the message.
It still registers the message as a  change in the system and sets the
orange star on the report,
where I was expecting an Unchanged entry (nothing was changed on the
system).

I''m using Puppet 2.6.7 and Puppet Dashboard 1.1.0.

Is there any way to change this behaviour in the dashboard?

grtz
John

This notify event always synchronizes, so it will always show up as a
changed event in the dashboard.

What about using file title to achieve the same thing?

file { ''/tmp/environment/${environment}'':
  ensure => present
}

This would still allow you see your environment in the report(b/c the
resource will always be listed) and would only cause the node to be in a
changed state if you change the environment (or the first time Puppet runs)

Eventually, the environment should be accessible in the report, #3910 gets
us a little closer to that.
