Event types
There are six types of event that can occur when Puppet reviews each property in your system and attempts to make any needed changes. If a property is already in sync with its catalog, no event is recorded: no news is good news in the world of events.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Failure | A property was out of sync; Puppet tried to make changes, but was unsuccessful. |
| Corrective change | Puppet found an inconsistency between the last applied catalog and a property's configuration, and corrected the property to match the catalog. |
| Intentional change | Puppet applied catalog changes to a property. |
| Corrective no-op | Puppet found an inconsistency
between the last applied catalog and a property's configuration, but
Puppet was instructed to not make changes on this resource, via either
the --noop command-line
option, the noop
setting, or the noop =>
true metaparameter. Instead of making a corrective change,
Puppet logs a corrective no-op event and reports the change it would
have made. |
| Intentional no-op | Puppet would have applied
catalog changes to a property., but Puppet was instructed to not make
changes on this resource, via either the --noop command-line option, the noop setting, or the
noop => true
metaparameter. Instead of making an intentional change, Puppet logs an
intentional no-op event and reports the change it would have made.
