Hello Benoit,

You are right, there is not possibility - for now - to use inventory
properties as a parameter for directives.

But I'm not sure I understand correctly your use case: the process list
in the inventory is not really reliable, because it is only a snapshot
of what was running on the node at the time of the inventory, not an
actualized, realtime content of process.

So perhaps that if you want to do some configuration based on some
process, what you need is to lookto the technique builder (since Rudder
2.11). With that, you could build a technique checkink that a service is
running, and if so (or if not and restarted) do other action.


I Hope it helps, but don't hesitate to give any feedback, especially if
I didn't understood what you wanted to do.

Have a nice day!
