similar to: Facter ''operatingsystemrelease'' fact.

I have 2 RHEL 5.4 systems where all facter lsb* items are missing. Any ideas? Sanitized facter output: architecture => i386 domain => missyou.edu facterversion => 1.5.7 fqdn => broken.missyou.edu hardwareisa => i686 hardwaremodel => i686 hostname => broken id => root interfaces => eth0,sit0 ipaddress => 1.2.1.5 ipaddress_eth0 => 1.2.1.5 is_virtual => true

Currently, facter returns the kernel version as both the kernel and operatingsystemrelease facts. I would like to change that so that on Fedora, operatingsystemrelease is the release number (5,6,7 etc.) or ''Rawhide'' ... are there any objections to making that change ? David

Hi all, I''ve finally gotten around to releasing Facter 1.5. As the version bump implies, this is a relatively significant release (for a 2.3k line program, anyway). Mostly, the biggest change is refactoring the code internally so that all of the functionality is split into separate classes in separate files. Also, the facts are all loaded on-demand, which provides dramatic

Hello, I am running puppet server version 0.25.4-2, and since Debian squeeze is the new stable release I would like to adapt some of my modules. I have a syslog-ng module, I would like to specify another template for my squeeze server. I changed my init.pp as follow : if ($operatingsystemrelease <= 5.0.8) { $syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf.erb" } else {

Hi, From looking at the puppetd --help, there is not currently (at 0.22.4) a method of specifying tags in the puppetd.conf. I was hoping to use this for the following reason: Currently, I use ''noop = true'' in my puppetd.conf, and run ''puppetd --no-noop {tags}'' to install the configurations that I am happy with. This is because I''m currently

For the benefit of those running OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OVS, be aware that under 2.6.0rc4 facter doesn''t properly recognize OEL in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/operatingsystemrelease.rb. A diff for a fix is below; probably not the best fix but if you need it work now, this''ll do it for you. I''ve already filed a bug:

I''m re-posting this because I''m not sure that it got through the first time. If someone could at least echo back that this is reaching the list, I''d appreciate it. (I''m new to the list.) Sometimes (with variable frequency) storeconfigs stores the wrong data in the fact_values table. This has the end result that exported resources, when collected, have

Hi all, I''m trying to get puppet working for the first time, and I''ve run into something that''s got me stumped. This is all on Solaris 10/x64. The initial startup of puppetmasterd wasn''t working, and it appeared to be related to the SSL certs not getting generated properly. I managed to trace that down to the fact that facter isn''t finding the

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean? Thank

Hello, I try to install puppet on freebsd 6.X. All is well but i cannot get the certificte to install and be recognized. I run .19.3. I run the puppetd --test --waitforcert 60 then sign and then i got: err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality. info: Creating a new SSL key at /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/conf/ssl/private_keys/xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.pem info: Creating a new certificate

I am having troubles with getting puppetd running on some of my Solaris10 update 7 (05/2009) boxes. I use Jumpstart to build my servers, so the installation is repeatable, consistent, and automated, so it is especially confusing that some boxes work, and others don''t. I can ssh into both of these machines, so the host certs should be OK. As part of my installation, I download the

I found that has been fixed in Fedora and RedHat which return the version ( like 5, 7, 8 etc.. ) but in CentOS, it still return the kernel version instead. ================= Barrow Kwan ThoughtWorks, Inc.

Hello guys :), I''m kind of new to Puppet and stuck in defining a conditional statement. Here my problem: I want to provide different apt/source.list for different versions of Debian, 6.0.x and 7.0.x, which also run different versions of Puppet, 2.7.x and 3.2.x. My first idea was to use facters variable operatingsystemmajrelease and define like this: file {

Just upgraded to 2.7.6 and the yumrepo type does not write out our yum configs correctly, anyone experiencing this? Documentation hasn''t changed from what I can tell for this type. # facter -version 1.6.2 # puppetd --version 2.7.6 # facter architecture x86_64 # facter operatingsystem Fedora # facter operatingsystemrelease 14 ==== My manifest ==== yumrepo {

For 40 days and 40 nights Facter wandered in the wilderness sustained only by the occasional patch and bottle of Kool-Aid. Slightly less tanned and equally happy Facter 1.5.8 has arrived! 1.5.8 is a feature and maintenance release containing a number of fixes, updates and additional tests. You can get the release at: http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/facter/facter-1.5.8.tar.gz Please log any

In the documentation, there is an example such as this: case $operatingsystem { sunos: { include solaris } # apply the solaris class redhat: { include redhat } # apply the redhat class default: { include generic } # apply the generic class } I''ve seen the $operatingsystem variable used elsewhere. What actually puts the value into the $operatingsystem variable? Does

Hi, Is it possible to have an array as the output of a custom fact? And then to pass it into a template in Puppet? I currently have a fact that looks like this: Facter.add("exports") do setcode do case Facter.hostname when (/thishost/i): [ "/local", "/local2" ] end end end & a template like this: <%

-----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.
