puppet-deprecate

A puppet function to log deprecations in your manifests

Introduction

Sometimes you need to add resources to your manifests that should only exist for a set period of time. By adding a call to the deprecate function you can either output a warning in the puppetservers log or cause the entire run to fail.

deprecate takes 2 or 3 arguments.

  • A date string, in either YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD formats
  • A free form string describing the what and why of the deprecation
  • An optional boolean to control if the run should be aborted

Examples

class deprecated_resources {

  # show a warning in puppetservers log
  deprecate('2015-01-20', 'Remove Foo at the end of the contract')

  # fail the run and show a warning clients output and masters logfile
  deprecate('2015-01-25', 'Remove Foo at the end of the contract', true)

}


# warning in the puppermaster log
13:56:17,938 WARN  [puppet-server] Puppet Class[Json_tester]
  expired on 20150120: Remove Foo at the end of the contract

# error on the client side when abort is set to true
