Hi Experts,
Sorry for re-posting but I wasn''t able to get a definite answer.
I noticed there was an issue opened about this (And some posts).
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3646
Just wondering what is the best way today to pass facts to puppet master
--compile?
As suggested in the ticket above, puppet master —compile ${client_fqdn}
—factsfile ${file_full_of_facts} will be great!
Thanks a lot!

What if you pre-populate the facts cache on the master? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
