12/12/2025, 6:25 PMnew question ... using the
puppetlabs/node_managerREFERENCE.md Copy code
node_group { 'PE Console' :
classes => {
'puppet_enterprise::profile::console' => {
'browser_ssl_cert' => $cer_file ,
'browser_ssl_private_key' => $key_file ,
} ,
} ,
}jms1
12/12/2025, 6:26 PMfirst question: is this ADDING two parameters, or is it SETTING the entire list of parameters for that class?
jms1
12/12/2025, 6:27 PM(related: is this only affecting that one class, or would it impact other classes in the same node group?)
jms1
12/12/2025, 6:27 PMsecond question: how does one DELETE parameters from a specific class in a node group, without affecting other parameters of the same class, or other classes in the same node group?
jms1
12/12/2025, 6:28 PMi ask because i was told to delete parameters like this:
Copy code
node_group { 'PE Console' :
classes => {
'puppet_enterprise::profile::console' => {
'browser_ssl_cert' => undef ,
'browser_ssl_private_key' => undef ,
} ,
} ,
}jms1
12/12/2025, 6:28 PMbut when i do this, every agent run produces this output:
Copy code
Notice: /Stage[main]/Xxx_pe_server/Node_group[PE Console]/classes: classes changed {
'puppet_enterprise::profile::console' => {
}
} to {
'puppet_enterprise::profile::console' => {
'browser_ssl_cert' => undef,
'browser_ssl_private_key' => undef
}
} (corrective)b

12/12/2025, 6:30 PMthe API is a bit special. I diff the existing settings vs the settings I want. And only apply the resource when a diff exists

12/12/2025, 6:33 PMthe other thing is, if i change the
node_grouppe_node_groupjms1
12/12/2025, 6:35 PMlooking at that ... it looks like you're building up the new state of the entire node group in memory and declaring it that way, rather than "adding" or "removing" things without touching whatever else may be in the group ... correct?

12/12/2025, 6:39 PM(1) that's what i was afraid of, and (2) thanks for an example of how to do all that. if nothing else, your example makes it clearer what the
