Is there a recommended way to set $FACTERLIB so that Puppet will be able to access custom facts when running as a Red Hat service? If I export $FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts and then run Puppet manually I have no problems, but I''m not sure how I should be setting $FACTERLIB when Puppet is running automatically. Cheers, James

I have a custom fact. It syncs correctly, works correctly everywhere when run via ''facter'', and works correctly from puppet on all but one machine. >From ''facter'': # export FACTERLIB=/var/puppet/facts # /opt/puppet/bin/facter itg_location mel But from within puppetd I get: Sep 13 14:54:29 hordac puppetd[768]: [ID 702911 daemon.warning] Could not load fa

Hi, I''m following http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules in order to use a custom fact. My modules looks like: # ls manifests/modules/network/ manifests plugins # ls manifests/modules/network/plugins/facter/primaryint.rb manifests/modules/network/plugins/facter/primaryint.rb as is said in doc. Then: Turn on pluginsync and specify factpath, so that the facts

Hi I''m trying to add extra facts to facter. The puppetd is running on Debian Etch Amd64 as Xen 3.1 guest. I''ve follow the Wiki on adding the facts. First I used relative path in the manifest and added "factsync=true" in client''s puppetd.conf. And then tested it with "puppetd -vt". But no matter what i tried, this error came: File paths must be fully

I need to get an array of hostnames of clients of the puppet server. There doesn''t seem to be a simple way to do this so I''ve tried a few methods. I''ve tried a curl expression in a fact like this: curl -s -k -H "Accept: yaml" https://localhost:8140/production/facts_search/search?facts.nodetypet=testnodes where I''ve got a nodetype fact which works

Hi, I''ve noticed that defining multiple facts in one file is possible, and puppet can make use of them correctly, but when trying to call with facter --puppet they are not shown, do I need something special to make them work as any other single custom fact? Master is running 2.6.7 This is a custom fact with two facts in it: [modules/foobar/lib/facter/foobar.rb ] require

I see the instructions for creating custom facter recipes here: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Adding_Facts and in this thread, James Turnbull suggests that Facter might some day support other languages besides ruby: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8c127ae8898d3bcf/c5ca551b77c4eb67?lnk=gst&q=facter+perl#c5ca551b77c4eb67 He writes:

I''ve added some custom facts to my Puppet setup but they aren''t being displayed by facter. I''ve tested them and they work correctly when run manually (and I''ve also tried a number of those listed on the wiki) but they aren''t included in facter''s output. I am using the default settings for factdest and factpath and the facts are being copied

Dear all, This is a continuation of another thread, but I think the question diverged enough to create a new one. I have a hiera hierarchy like this: :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{secundary_group} - %{primary_group} - %{productname} - all And I need to define the secondary/primary groups as facts, on the nodes. Gary has suggested me to use plugins, that they will provide the facts before

I''m a newbie attempting to get a custom fact distributed to clients. I''ve followed the instructions at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AddingFacts and based my first fact on a simple recipe. I''m having at least one problem and possibly more. 1) Puppet/facter fails to load the custom fact, complaining that "non- sh interpreters are not currently

Dear all, I have a custom fact, that reads a file and then generate the values dynamically based on the file content. It''s something like this: inFile = "/home/admin/OSs.txt" > gos = {} > > if File.exist?(inFile) > open(inFile, ''r'').each do |line| > next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/ > parts =
