Hi experts . i would like to write a custom fact the will add a fact to a machine yaml file i am a file /etc/file.conf inside this file a have many lines like value1 = test1 value2 = test2 i want to create a custom rb file that will grep test2 from value2 value from /etc/file.conf , take the test2 and add it to a fact how can i achieve this ? thank you -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I think you are trying to re-invent a wheel that is already in use. Consider: http://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabsstdlib-puppetlabs-standard-library-part-3/ facter-dot-d; a simple way of pulling facts from external sources. From the docs: A simple little framework to get facts from external sources. You can create files in /etc/facter/facts.d which can be text, yaml, json or executables. In the case of executables it supports caching so you only need to run your expensive scripts every now and then. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Yaniv Fine <yanivfine@gmail.com> wrote:> Hi experts . > > i would like to write a custom fact the will add a fact to a machine yaml > file > i am a file /etc/file.conf > inside this file a have many lines like > value1 = test1 > value2 = test2 > > i want to create a custom rb file that will grep test2 from value2 value > from /etc/file.conf , take the test2 and add it to a fact > > how can i achieve this ? > thank you > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/puppet-users/-/Zqakzj9PoBMJ. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to puppet-users+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. >-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Let me re-answer that: Using the stdlib::facter-dot-d, I expect you are restricted to /etc/facts.d However, if you look at the examples here ( http://puppetlabs.com/blog/facter-part-1-facter-101/ ), you can create facts that reference files anywhere in the system. The example shows using a file at /etc/system_role to populate a fact. Looking at your original question again, it might be possible to create a Ruby script to do what you want. Look through the examples in that blog entry and the two that follow it. It''s all great stuff. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Yaniv Fine <yanivfine@gmail.com> wrote:> Can this be file in other path ? > On Aug 6, 2012 4:20 PM, "Dan White" <ygor@comcast.net> wrote: > > > I think you are trying to re-invent a wheel that is already in use. > > > > Consider: > > > > http://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabsstdlib-puppetlabs-standard-library-part-3/ > > > > facter-dot-d; a simple way of pulling facts from external sources. > > > > From the docs: > > > > A simple little framework to get facts from external sources.

Since you are directly executing a command, you really want to use the built-it
Puppet function here:
require ''facter''
Facter.add("yaniv") do
setcode do
Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("cat /tmp/yanivf.txt")
end
end
There is probably some newlines that file that may not be immediately apparent.
The above function takes care of that, plus path searching as well.

Thank you for your answer . any reson why Facter::Util::Resolution. exec not working . i don''t see either when running factor on the client or on the puppet server yaml file any record of fact named yaniv ?

well its wroking for me now . newbie question . if i put the test.rb file inside modules/common/test/lib/facter/test.rb is it normal that it runs automatically on all servers without a way for me to control what machine will run it ? all my modules reside : modules/common/apache java ......

Ruby sources placed in lib/facter are expected to contain custom facts. They will be synced automatically to every client node that has pluginsync enabled, and they will be run via Facter on every node on which they appear, to gather the node''s fact values. They should not contain any code other than that of the custom fact(s) they define. Within a fact definition, however, you can control whether your code will run on the node via the ''confine'' function provided by the custom fact framework.

In general . I am trying to parse a variable i have in a file in few of my servers and add it as a fact i can than use in a module . This specific file that reside in few of my servers have looks like value : var .inside the rb file i do facter.add .and add the value to a fact .there is no reson to run the rb file on all of my servers On Aug 9, 2012 12:56 AM, "jcbollinger" <John.Bollinger@stjude.org> wrote:> > > On Wednesday, August 8, 2012 10:06:27 AM UTC-5, Yaniv Fine wrote: >> >> what is i put the rb file in another dir bellow the module dir . >> any way i can control what node will load it ? >> > > I don''t know, but I think it unlikely that you could get some nodes to run > it but not others. > > What are you trying to accomplish?

As I think has been mentioned, use :confine to limit on which node this fact is listed. All facts are distributed to all nodes.
