Puppet users - Jan 2013 - Including some resources only some of the time

Hello,

I am using puppet on some servers to do various different things,
running puppet from crontab every 15 minutes, which is doing all the
various tasks every 15 minutes. However some of the tasks are very
resource intensive, but they wouldn''t need to be done so often, they
could be done once a day. Other tasks are very quick and it''s useful to
do them as often as possible, every 15 minutes or less.

The problem is that at the moment, puppet is doing everything each time
it is run. Is there some way to say that a class or resource should be
included all the time, while an other one should be included only once
every 30mn, every day or every week ?

How would you do that ?

Nicolas

I haven''t used them yet myself, but I think you might want to use a
schedule:
