Hi All Background: I am running Puppet to configure ESX 3.5 servers by NFS mounting the Puppet binaries and configuration from a shared server. This is to ensure VMware don''t come back refusing support for installing non standard software on the server. # ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2009-04-08 patchlevel 160) [i686-linux] # facter -v 1.5.5

I just started getting this error on some machines after a yum update from centos 5.2 to centos 5.3. Does anyone know what it means? Since I''m not a ruby person, I''m not sure how to debug this, but it looks to me like facter is having trouble parsing information about my interfaces. # facter /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ipmess.rb:19: uninitialized constant

Hi, I run into problems with the ipaddress fact using the latest Facter gem (1.6.4, 1.6.5) on SLES11. The versions and gems I use work perfectly fine on SLES10 SP3. The problem: running "facter" without arguments results in an error, even though the erroring fact "ipaddress" is ok. test:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL

I installed the 2.6.2 puppet and facter 1.5.8 gems and tried to run puppet, but it failed with the following message: err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not retrieve local facts: uninitialized constant Facter::IPAddress Then I tried running facter alone: # facter /usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/facter/ipmess.rb:19: uninitialized constant Facter::IPAddress (NameError) After

int he example below I run facter looking for the fact "sp_serial_number". as you can see, the command facter sp_serial_number returns nothing, but the fact is there and is returned when just running facter and grepping for the fact. Some fact seem to work and others do not. any ideas? marcuspro:~ allan$ facter --version 1.5.7 marcuspro:~ allan$ facter sp_serial_number marcuspro:~

Not sure if this is another issue cropping up with 0.24.1 but I''m getting the following: info: Loading fact raid /etc/puppet/facts/location.rb:5: private method `split'' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter.rb:510:in `call'' from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter.rb:510:in `value'' from

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 could swear this worked fine earlier.. Now facter, and hence puppet, do not see the domain name anymore: What could cause this? C:\Temp>facter --version 1.6.2 C:\Temp>facter | findstr kernel kernel => windows kernelmajversion => 6.1 kernelrelease => 6.1.7601 kernelversion => 6.1.7601 C:\Temp>facter fqdn NCS-VDI-05.none C:\Temp>facter hostname NCS-VDI-05

Hello, Since i use facter 1.5.5 i got error running it by hand. It still work in puppet but i loosed the hability to run it from the command line: (aqadmin)> /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.5/bin/facter /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.5/bin/facter:50:in `require'': no such file to load -- facter (LoadError) from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/facter-1.5.5/bin/facter:50

My install was working for a couple of months until I rebooted my puppet server. The clients do not report an error when I run puppet agent -t. I''ve attempted to remove certificates and renew. The clients get new certificates, but the console still does not update. Even the puppet server itself is not updating as a client. After reboot the only thing I have noticed that changed

Is there a repository of Facter plugins that people have made? I''m working on a few that i wouldn''t mind sharing when complete.

Hi all, I am creating a recipe for rhel boxes which needs to determine what type of install is present (server or client). I thought I would use the facter fact lsbdistid for this purpose but when I run "facter lsbdistid" from the command line nothing is returned. If I just run facter and grep for lsbdistid, what I am looking for is returned. Does anyone know why this might be?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all We''re currently looking at the next release of Facter and the future direction of the tool. I''d like to try and prompt some discussions on facter and what people want from it. As a starter here''s some (although not all) of the ideas we''ll be working through: 1. Namespaces - add a namespace or tiered

I have a small environment with a single puppetmaster and puppetdb on the same node that I get sporadic "Failed to submit ''replace facts'' command" errors from nodes. It isn''t consistent about which nodes are causing the error and I can''t find anything else going on at the same time on either the master or the agent that these errors happen. Here
