similar to: Problem with adding custom facts

I have created my first ''fact'', first attempt at Ruby too, and configured the fileserver to server it but when a Fedora (5 or 6) client sync''s puppetd appears to hang. CentOS clients sync and use the new fact fine. Find attached the fact file and the output from ''puppetd --debug --factsync'' on a FC5 client is below. This is a 0.20.1 client and

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

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

Hello, I''m trying to add an environment variable as fact like this : #export $FACTER_test="infof" #facter | grep test test => infof But my fact don''t synchronize with puppet master. I don''t see it in / var/puppet/yaml/clientfile.yaml If I want this works, I''ve need to start puppet like this : #puppetd -vt --factsync but factsync''s

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

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:

Some time ago i sent to the list a problem i was having with facts on fedora core 6 and wasn''t able to find a solution at that time, but with the release of RHEL5 and CentOS 5 based on fc6 i have hit the problem again. i have written several facts to collect information about a clients network and i am also using the vmware fact from the wiki. i have separated my original fact into

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

Hi, When starting puppet on a new machine, (or when the $vardir/lib is empty) puppet will not run the facts, it will only copy them. on the second time puppet runs, it works quiet well: on the client its defined: [main] pluginsync = true pluginsource = puppet://$server/plugins plugindest = $vardir/lib/puppet factpath = $vardir/lib/puppet/facter [puppetd] factsync = true I also tried with

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello, I read that there is several problems about custom facts on this list. However, none is serving my task exactly so I start another. (Topic »custom facts in legacy puppet 0.24.[89]« is the might be the same issue but that gets no answer.) My problem is that I have to serve clients with different versions of puppet. The systems running ubuntu

Hello, I''m a little confused how to configure the puppermaster and puppetd to add a new fact. I''ve followed this tutorial http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AddingFacts but I''m with doubts about the factsource. In my puppetmaster I have the new fact in /etc/puppet/facts directory. fileserver.conf (on puppetmaster server): [files] path /etc/puppet/files [facts]

Hello, I want a simple operation in a puppet node like restarting the ssh service if it was stopped. My site.pp is simple as this: import "services/*" node default { include ssh } The services directory as a ssh.pp : class ssh { service { ssh: ensure => running, subscribe => File["/etc/ssh/sshd_config"] } } I''ve stopped the ssh service in the

hi, i''m trying to set up my puppetmaster infrastructure with multiple puppetservers behind load balancers in each of our datacenters. i''m using 0.24.6. i''ve read the howto on puppet scalability, and i think i''ve got the ssl config working correct, but i''m noticing that when puppetd is used to build a puppetmaster, some of the files in $vardir/ ssl

I have some facter file to distribute before running puppet on the platform. The problem is : how can i send the facter local.rb file so the rest of the .pp file take into account the new facts created ? ex: i have sudopath as a facter fact and one sudoers class that need that sudopath to work. How do you model that ? it seems puppet would have to rerun after the new local.rb is downloaded

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''d like to use exception handling in my custom facts. For example, in plain Ruby: begin buildno = '''' bcrelease = open("/etc/BCrelease") while (line = bcrelease.gets) line = line.chomp buildno = $1 if line =~ /^Build:\s+(\d+)/ end bcrelease.close print "#{buildno}\n" rescue print "No

I found what the problem is but I am posting this so hopefully people don''t scratch their heads when this happens. I need to be able to configure different things depending whether I''m running on a system that has a Xen kernel or not. I added a fact in /var/lib/puppet/facts/ Facter.add("xen_kernel") do server= `uname -r` if
