module always seems to notify even with cache

[matthewfischer]

Even with cache enabled, I always get notifications from my wget::fetch resources. Is this a known issue or something I'm doing wrong with the cache? I can see by the datestamp that the file is not updating if the cached version doesn't change.

I figured out a work around by subscribing to the files, not the wget::fetch.

Super helpful, thanks @matthewfischer . This should be in the README.

Can you submit a PR for the README ?

Is there any examples of the solution?

Here's an example, not sure how to write this up more cleanly, but here's how I do the icinga reload after a wget downloaded file changes:

exec { 'reload_icinga':
  command     => '/usr/sbin/service icinga reload',
  refreshonly => true,
  subscribe   => [File["/etc/nagios/nagios_hostgroup.${backup_site_iteration}.cfg"],
                  File["/etc/nagios/nagios_service.${backup_site_iteration}.cfg"],
                  File["/etc/nagios/nagios_host.${backup_site_iteration}.cfg"]],
}
