Hi, I want to introduce "Proxmox" as new value in $::operatingsystem. "Proxmox" is based on Debian, so the normal value is currently "Debian". To change that, I just write a custom fact based on the facter fact "operatingsystem" Facter.add(:operatingsystem) do > ... > setcode do > ... > elsif

Hi, I want some config depending on memorysize. What I tried was if ($memorysize >= 256 * 1024*1024) { ... } But this fails because $memorysize is a string (and contains a "G") and can''t be compared to an int. Are all facts strings? How do I work with numbers? regards, Andreas -- Andreas Kuntzagk SystemAdministrator MDC Berlin / BIMSB Tel.: +49 30 9406 2997 --

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

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.

I am trying to come up with a workable solution in managing numerous Mac workstations allowing a high degree of flexibility with regards to certs. My puppet environment is setup to application installation on machines that have been ''imaged'' with a base OS and the puppet and facter apps. So, when a Mac is ''imaged'' and subsequently re-booted, puppet is run at

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

Hi, I''m trying retrieve some information from the real world from within puppet. I''d initially hoped that I could do this: $xen_version = exec { "apt-cache search xen-hypervisor | head -n 1 | cut -d- -f3-5": path => "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin", cwd => "/tmp", require => [

Hi guys I have a custom fact envt, it was working fine but now I have to make some changes in it; puppet client''s hostname is of the type 1234qa-abc-de.local where 1234 can be any thing of any length.My custom fact should contain qa, ie I want to check in the first part(before the first -) of the hostname if there exists a pattern/word qa and if it exists then my custom fact for envt

Would anyone please assist me on this one? This fact seems to work, but it doesn''t return when called directly via facter --puppet noop, but the resulting facts end up in the reports.

Hi all, I need my servers to decide which network they are in (i.e. dmz), and the only clue is the servers IP-address. I was trying to accomplish it like this, but it doesn''t work: case $ipaddress { "10.1.1.*": { $network = "net1" } "10.2.2.*.*": { $network = "net2" } "10.3.3.*": {
