Hi All, I have created: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules the Wiki discusses and put the facter plugins in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter The issue is they do not show up. when I move them to /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter folder they work. Which is where the rpm installs the default facter libraries. I see there is a factpath option and put that in /etc/puppet/ puppet.conf file H like this: factpath = /var/lib/pupppet/lib/facter:/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ facter/ but stll does not work.. What am I doing wrong to get this to work? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: facter sync and getting them to work?
I''ve figured out the issue. It was a bug in the wiki documentation.
Specifically:
plugindest = $vardir/lib/puppet
factpath = $vardir/lib/facter
should be (if following the example)
plugindest = $vardir/lib/puppet
factpath = $vardir/lib/puppet/facter
and have updated the wiki to reflect this. We''ve used instead plugins
as the the name instead but will not update the wiki.

I''m not sure I understand what you are asking. When puppet is executing facter, it make sure that it load the right facts from the right directories, if you want it to work when you execute it manually, just make sure that your FACTERLIB is setup correctly in your environment. (you can always extract it out of puppet.conf |grep .... to your profile/shrc files) Ohad On Mon, May 5, 2008 at 10:08 PM, Stasheck <stanislaw.kaminski@gmail.com> wrote:> > On May 5, 6:14 am, Luke Kanies <l...@madstop.com> wrote: > > On May 4, 2008, at 5:43 PM, Larry Ludwig wrote: > > > > > > > > > On May 4, 6:34 pm, Larry Ludwig <larry...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> Let me add that while it works in puppetd, I cannot get the command > > >> line tool ''facter'' to show this var.

I''m afraid you didnt''n understand my problem. I have custom facts and need to distribute them to all my machines. Problem is, on virtually every machine "facter" home dir is in different place. Now, there are two ways for puppet to distribute custom facts: 1. Make "case" for each and every system to use appropriate dir. 2. Use some generic method to detect where facter dir is, and copy files there. Right now I''m using method (1), but I hoped that someone figured how to make this using (2). That''s all. And of course - when files are in facter dir, facts show as they should.

Great :-) But I found that this method is depreciated, and since all my puppets are >0.24, I''d rather stick to http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules - only problem, I''m not quite sure how to configure this. Suppose I have facts in /etc/puppet/modules/custom/plugins/facter, what to do next? regards, Stanislaw PS.

I misread this as well. In fact, this method is not yet deprecated, and no decision has been made to get rid of it.

I finally got to use factersync, and I have just one last question - is there any easy way for facter to use this facts being invoked also from command line? I mean, how can I automagically detect facter dir, to set the env variable? regards, Stanislaw On May 7, 9:55 pm, Luke Kanies <l...@madstop.com> wrote:> On May 7, 2008, at 1:00 PM, Paul Lathrop wrote: > > > I misread this as well.
