Duplicate Apt Resource

[s33dunda]

When trying to install sensu client on the same node I get:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Duplicate declaration: 
Apt::Source[sensu] is already declared in file 
/etc/puppet/environments/branches/sensu/modules/uchiwa/manifests/repo/apt.pp:34; cannot redeclare 
at /etc/puppet/environments/branches/sensu/modules/sensu/manifests/repo/apt.pp:35 
on node txxxxxx.com

Can we name the uchiwa resource something else? like uchiwa or sensu-uchiwa?

You can just ask Uchiwa not to manage the repo instead:

class 'uchiwa' { install_repo = false }

I have the same issue.

@pauloconnor : I think your answer was not the good way to resolve this issue. Indeed puppet-uchiwa recipe can be executed before sensu-puppet recipe and in this case we should run puppet twice because the first puppet run failed on puppet-uchiwa recipe.

I made a PR #43 to correct this issue, and the same on sensu-puppet side sensu/sensu-puppet#356

[pauloconnor]

@bleuchtang In that case, I would chain sensu-puppet and puppet-uchiwa

class 'sensu-puppet': { }->
class 'uchiwa': { install_repo: false }

I think this is a much cleaner, and easier way of installing these packages.

[bleuchtang]

OK, but I don't think we can do that with Hiera.

[solarkennedy]

@pauloconnor's suggestion is the most appropriate. (I think)
I've updated the front page docs to include this (common) configuration option in #51.

Hiera alone is not enough to manage lots of puppet classes together in a sane way.
If possible I recommend making a profile_sensu class that can combine modules together in a particular way, and then use hiera to include that class.
