Puppet：文件资源ignore通配规则未生效的问题求助

Hey Adam, let's work through why those ${name}..tra files are still being handled by Puppet and get this sorted:

Why Your Current Setup Isn't Working #

Puppet's ignore parameter relies on standard glob pattern matching. Your existing rule ['*.tra'] matches files where any sequence of characters is followed directly by .tra—but ${name}..tra has two dots before the .tra extension, so this pattern doesn't catch it. That's why Puppet's still running checks like calculating checksums on those files.

The Fix: Adjust Your Ignore Pattern #

Update the ignore array to include a pattern that specifically targets files ending with ..tra. Here's your revised file resource code:

file { "/opt/app/${name}/traces" :
  ensure  => directory,
  owner   => 'appuser',
  group   => 'appuser',
  ignore  => [ '*.tra', '*..tra' ],  # Added pattern to match *..tra files
  backup  => false,
  recurse => false
}

Quick Extra Notes #

• If you run into other similar edge cases (like files with more dots before .tra), you could use a broader pattern like *.*.tra, but *..tra is precise for your specific scenario.
• Even with recurse => false, Puppet scans directory contents to verify the directory's state. The updated ignore rule will tell Puppet to completely skip any files matching those patterns, so you'll stop seeing those strace/lsof hits for those files.
