Puppet users - Oct 2013 - Resource file copy files recurse in existing directory with existing files

Hi,

I have a file resource that brings files in the diretory 
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec" from source1 and I have a second resource
file
that should bring file in that same directory but from an other source.
But the result is that only the files from   file { 
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec": do exit in the directory. I tried remote
and
true. The resource file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec": deletes all the
files in the directory  "/usr/local/nagios/libexec" that came with
file {
"/usr/local/nagios":
Can somebody please help me?

   file { "/usr/local/nagios":
      ensure => directory,
      owner => "nagios",
      group => "nagios",
      mode => 755,
      source => "$source",
      recurse => true,
      require => User [''nagios''],
      schedule => "nagios_client-schedule",
   }

   file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec":
      ensure => directory,
      owner => "nagios",
      group => "nagios",
      mode => 755,
      source => 
"puppet:///extra_files/basisapplikationen/monitoring/nagios/client/custom-plugins",
      recurse => remote,
      require => File [''/usr/local/nagios''],
      schedule => "nagios_client-schedule",
   }

Best regards
Andreas

That sounds like the behavior that would be expected with "purge =>
true".
I didn''t think that was the default, but perhaps you have a resource 
default override in scope.  If you want to purge unmanaged files, then it 
is sufficient to enable purging for only
File[''/usr/local/nagios''];
enabling it also for File[''/usr/local/nagios/libexec''] (or any
other
subdirectory) will have the result you describe, because the latter 
resource is applied independently of the former.

Overall, it is unwise to manage the same physical resource via more than 
one Puppet logical resources, which is what you are doing with directory 
/usr/local/nagios/libexec.  If you can come up with an alternative approach 
to avoid that problem then you would be better off.

Hi John,

I add purge => false in the file /usr/local/nagios/libexec but it did not 
change anythink.

I need to find out if I can put the files in an other directory.

Thank you
Andreas

Dear all,

now I have got the solution

   file { "/usr/local/nagios/libexec":
      ensure => present,
      owner => "nagios",
      group => "nagios",
      mode => 755,
      sourceselect => all,
      source => 
["puppet:///extra_files/basisapplikationen/monitoring/nagios/client/custom-plugins","${source}/libexec"],
      recurse => true,
      require => File [''/usr/local/nagios''],
      schedule => "nagios_client-schedule",
   }
