[Puppet Users] Facter Variable inside of variable string
Hi All,
I am using puppet-labs/mysql forge module, but the MySQL package we use is
the MySQL-server-community packages.
Basically I am need to update a paratmeter
$pidfile = ''/var/lib/mysql/${fqdn}.pid''
Where I can put the FQDN into the pidfile variable as suggested above.
However it appears I can can''t use Facter variables in strings.
I am running on latest 2.7 build for server/agent.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
-Zane
