similar to: Recommended way to set $FACTERLIB?

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''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

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

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 checked out the page on adding custom facts for Facter and I see that there are a number of ways to do this. Is there a preferred method of setting system-wide facts? In this case, I''d like to set a "Location" fact which represents the data centre a server is in. Cheers, James *********************************************************************************

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 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:

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, Running into a problem when wanting to daemon-ize the agent. It doesnt seems to do anything: - cannot find any daemon process with (ps aux | grep puppet) - the config is not updated after editing some params on the master - /var/log/puppet stay empty... while, when logged as root, it is working without issue with $puppet agent --test. ##Conf Ubuntu 12.04 Puppet 2.7.11 ## Daemon is

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I''m just getting started with using Puppet, and from what I''ve seen I really like it. However, I''m trying get started with slighly more advanced things like templates but I''m running into a roadblock with not knowing what built-in variables I have available to me. Is there someplace this is documented?

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 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

I might have the terminology wrong, but how to a give new puppet providers to the puppet clients? I''m thinking a provider is the thing the puppet client uses to implement a task that the master has given it. Am I way off here?

Hi, When I run puppet agent --test --environment 42A, I have the following warning : Warning: Local environment: "42A" doesn''t match server specified node environment "production", switching agent to "production". ... The puppet manifest for the environment "42A" isn''t applied. The puppet version is 3.3.1-1puppetlabs1 on agent and

Hi guys, I have a box that needs to identify itself to the puppetmaster as something different from the FQDN. I added certname to the agent configuration before the first run, but it doesn''t seem to be sufficient. The certificate was generated for the FQDN, and the host appears in the dashboard as the FQDN, and the node name used to evaluate the manifest is also the FQDN. I would

fact loads: I use facter to search the rsync path and then i write this sudoers line: Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = /usr/bin/rsync I call puppet like this: puppetd --factsync --server=xxx.yyy.61.131 --waitforcert 60 --test the recipe is: sudoensure_line { sudobackupcommands: ligne => "Cmnd_Alias BACKUPCOMMANDS = $rsyncpath",

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
