Puppet - Elasticsearch prevent restart

megaforce1020 · February 12, 2016, 10:24pm

So whenever I do a puppet apply to configure elasticsearch, it causes the elasticsearch service to either close if I have the option 'Status => disabled' or it will cause it to restart if I comment the status option out. I was wondering if there was some way for puppet to apply changes to elasticsearch without causing the service to restart so that I can manually restart the application.

Hi,

There is a restart_on_change parameter which you can set to false.

elastic/puppet-elasticsearch/blob/e3a1f536c0b20af31428b4fbc0f23ee65bc75c8c/manifests/init.pp#L52


#     the service plus assuring it is running on the desired node.
#   Defaults to <tt>enabled</tt>. The singular form ("service") is used for the
#   sake of convenience. Of course, the defined status affects all services if
#   more than one is managed (see <tt>service.pp</tt> to check if this is the
#   case).
#
# [*version*]
#   String to set the specific version you want to install.
#   Defaults to <tt>false</tt>.
#
# [*restart_on_change*]
#   Boolean that determines if the application should be automatically restarted
#   whenever the configuration changes. Disabling automatic restarts on config
#   changes may be desired in an environment where you need to ensure restarts
#   occur in a controlled/rolling manner rather than during a Puppet run.
#
#   Defaults to <tt>true</tt>, which will restart the application on any config
#   change. Setting to <tt>false</tt> disables the automatic restart.
#
# [*configdir*]
#   Path to directory containing the elasticsearch configuration.
