similar to: Facts as environment variables not been picked up in ubuntu.

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 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

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

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''ve noticed that facter version superior from epel do not display lsbmajdistrelease fact: # facter lsbmajdistrelease 5 # rpm -qa|grep facter facter-1.5.5-1.el5 # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # facter lsbmajdistrelease # cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga) # rpm -qa|grep facter

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

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

Facter has the feature that it will turn any environment variable named FACTER_* into a fact. I can do this on the commandline no problem, but when I attempt this in puppet it seems to ignore that parts. Is anyone else seeing this? (Is this expected behavior?) I don''t see a ticket or a mail thread on it - though my searching powers have been weak the last couple of weeks... Thanks,

May I please ask again for some assistance with the question below? I hope somebody can help me.

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:

Hello, I''ve just installed Ruby, Facter and Puppet from source (versions listed below) and am getting the following error, when trying to run Puppet 2.6.3: [root@localhost puppet]# ruby --version ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [i686-linux] [root@localhost puppet]# ruby -ropenssl -e "puts :installed" installed [root@localhost puppet]# ruby -rxmlrpc/client -e "puts

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

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

We found out, the hard way, that version 1.7 of Facter adds facts for mounted linux file systems. This is nice for normal servers. For a server hosting Oracle not so good. We went from about 100 facts per server to well over 3,000 (our Oracle boxes have quite a few volumes mounted). Of course, this choked our ENC (Foreman) having this many facts pumped into it and required us to downgrade

I have written a custom puppet fact using a ruby script. It is very simple - it just adds a string to a fact. However I have written a module but it appears to me that the custom fact has been applied to all my machines without me specifying any node definitions. When I run a puppet agent --test --noop, I see the custom fact appear in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter. Info: Loading facts in

I''m trying to load custom facts via /etc/facter/facts.d/* according to instructions on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html#structured-data-facts I must have missed a setting somewhere because I get nothing. The first clue may be that /etc/facter didn''t exist. I had to create it manually. Is there a setting or search path I need to create? Details: puppet

Hi, i''ve set up my puppet on several clients and today i noticed that the facts are loaded twice by the clients. I took strace to get the list of loaded fact file and i found that puppet seems to load the same fact files twice: chdir("/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter") = 0 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 6 info: Loading facts in vserver

Hello! I''ve been trying to use facts from Facter in a custom function. I''ve been following Matthew''s entry in the wiki (http://www.reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/WritingYourOwnFunctions). What i''m seeing is that Facter[''fqdn''].value is always returning the fqdn of the puppetmaster host. I was expecting the fqdn of the client host.
