Guys I made a custom fact using export;(export FACTER_envt=`hostname -s|cut -c 1-2`;) on puppet master, and when I do facter envt it shows the desired result, now my problem is that am unable to distribute it to the client machines. I read up a little on adding custom facts and found out the pluginsyc would help me but it didnt, I have pluginsync=true on both puppetmaster and client but still when I do "sudo puppetd --test -- pluginsync" on client it says the following: err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins On client /var/lib/puppet/lib has no directory On server /var/lib/puppet/lib has puppet and facter directories sudo puppetd --configprint factpath on client is /var/lib/puppet/lib/ facter and on server its the same.

Where exactly is you fact? Is it in a module? My recent experience required placement of my facts in $modulepath/module/lib/facter . . .

Oh, wait . . . that fact exists solely as an environment variable? You haven''t put that code in a file for distribution? Then please ignore my previous response.

well i decided to change the route a little, I have decided to make
a .rb file for adding fact rather then the environment variable and
heres what am doing and still getting the same error:
1. On the puppetmaster in your modules directory create a facts
module with
subdirectory files. In this add any of your custom .rb scripts
# ls /etc/puppet/modules/facts/files
day_of_week.rb
hardware_platform.rb # = wiki example
2. On the puppetmaster in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf I added:-
pluginsync = true
factpath = $vardir/facts #vardir = /var/lib/puppet
3. On the puppetmaster in /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf I added:-
[facts]
path /var/lib/puppet/facts
4. On the server I added the file /etc/profile.d/facter.sh
containing
export FACTERLIB=/var/lib/puppet/facts
after this again when I connect the client to puppet server I get the
following error:
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://puppet/plugins
Help guys!!!

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: unable to distribute custom facts
IIRC you''re doing this the hard way. The easy way: 1) Create a module: mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/facts 2) Create the pluginsync directories in your module mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules/facts/lib/facter 3) Put custom facts in the directory you just made 4) Enable pluginsync on master & clients That should be it, unless I''ve forgotten something (which would never happen of course) ;) # ls /etc/puppet/modules/facts/> > files > day_of_week.rb > hardware_platform.rb # = wiki exampleOn Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 11:42 AM, newguy <aimanparvaiz@gmail.com> wrote:> well i decided to change the route a little, I have decided to make > a .rb file for adding fact rather then the environment variable and > heres what am doing and still getting the same error: > > 1.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: unable to distribute custom facts
Oh, and include module ''facts'' on every node where these facts will be used. That could be somewhat important.

well my thing worked(partly) I just had to put the fact (envt.rb) in /
etc/puppet/modules/facts/lib/facter/files. I can see the fact when I
did facter -p on client but the problem is this fact is not available
on the puppet master. I executed this simple code(a test module) to
reach this conclusion, please help
class test_mod {
if $envt==''ip''{
file {"/home/ubuntu/aaaaa":
ensure=>file
}
}
else {
file {"/home/ubuntu/aiaaaa":
ensure=>file
}
}
file aiaaaa was made .
Please help
