Exported resources support?

[stig]

Hello! Would you be interested in accepting contributions for exported resources support? (Or add this support yourself?) I am investigating using this module with some in-house apps and I would prefer to have the definition of which files are shipped in the app's own manifest, rather in a central place.

Hello Stig,
we use this very simple module in production ourselves and if we don't break anything, we can certainly add more functionality to it.
Can you describe your idea/requirements in detail and maybe we can come up with an update. We would also accept pull requests.

Can't speak for @stig but I imagine the use case is to be able to list the log files independently from different places and have remote_syslog2 to collect all the logfiles together in the log_files.yml, i.e.

class ssh {
  remote_syslog2::log_files { 'ssh': log_files => ['/var/log/sshd.log'] }
}
class nginx {
  remote_syslog2::log_files { 'nginx': log_files => ['/var/log/nginx/access.log', '/var/log/nginx/error.log'] }
}

Sorry, I forgot about this. Something like that is indeed what I had in mind.
