Puppet users - May 2012 - Check If State Changed with Puppet 0.25.4

Hey,

I would like to figure out if the latest puppet client run changed the
state of the server, in a programatic way. Essentially, I would like
to achieve what --detailed-exitcodes provides in later versions of
puppet. I am running in master/slave mode. Any suggestions? I have
considered using /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml, and checking if
anything more than ''checked'' happened. Would that be the right
way to
go?

Thanks,
--Eytan

We aren''t using 0.25.x but we do use puppet reports to track puppetrun
status. We feed them into foreman, which should still support the
older puppet report format (pre-2.6.5), but you might also be able to
use puppet-dashboard. (Looks like it does support the older report
format: http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/docs/dashboardmanual.pdf.)
(The last_run_report should be in the same directory as state.yaml,
but you have to enable reports in your puppet.conf).

As an aside, the upgrade from 0.25.x to 2.6.x was relatively painless.

Perhaps someone else can address your question more directly?
