similar to: facter doesn't load from /ect/facter/facts.d

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

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

Hi everyone, I have a fact which looks like that: drbdconnectionstate0. You see the "0" at the end... Now I''d like to access this fact in a "dynamic" way, the "0" should be variable. I''m thinking of something like that: if ${drbdconnectionstate0}${drbddevice} == ''Unconfigured''. But as you may guess, this does not work... Has

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

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 have successfully updated puppet clients from my master using the built-in WEBrick server. When I updated my setup to using Apache2+passenger, my clients get this error message: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: You cannot save facts to the code store; it is only used for getting facts from Facter warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not

My install was working for a couple of months until I rebooted my puppet server. The clients do not report an error when I run puppet agent -t. I''ve attempted to remove certificates and renew. The clients get new certificates, but the console still does not update. Even the puppet server itself is not updating as a client. After reboot the only thing I have noticed that changed

I''ve run into an odd one on one of my new RHEL 6 boxes. Puppet and Facter seem to disagree about the value of a fact. Puppet version: 2.7.9 Facter version: 1.6.4 Module: puppetlabs-apache apache::params falls through its if structure: if $::osfamily == ''redhat'' or $::operatingsystem == ''amazon'' { ... } elsif $::osfamily ==

I have been working on adding some predicate functions to puppetlabs-stdlib that test things based on ''interfaces'' and related facts. The functions themselves seem to work fine in my manifest-based smoketests, but I am running into trouble that may or may not be due to my ignorance about rspec or Facter. Something needs to be done to initialize Facter because

Hi folks, I''m using this plugin https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts/tree/master/facts-dot-d and I can''t get a fact out of a simple shell script. YAML TXT JSON works well My little shell script testfact.sh looks like #!/bin/bash echo "TEST=NOT WORKING" made it executable chmod +x testfact.sh made a puppet agent -t to read the new fact BUT $facter --puppet

When I try to connect to my new puppet master, I get an error because of a self-signed certificate: ---snip--- # puppet agent --test --noop Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue: Warning: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed: [self signed certificate in certificate chain for /CN=Puppet CA:

Does anyone have any insight into this error message? err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: The fact named fact_stomp_server does not appear to be a valid hostname. The value of '''' does not match ''^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$''. A common cause of this problem is running puppet agent as a normal user instead of root, or the fact is

Im new to puppet and installed it in my home lab to mess with, when i installed it i used the hostname rather than FQDN so went back and changed puppet and reran the certificate tool to regenerate the certificates etc, the agent works fine now but i am getting an mccollective error i think, is there anything in the config i need to change for mccollective after altering the name to the FQDN?

Hi, I wonder why the puppet agent on the server itself will not run: ---snip--- # puppet agent --test Error: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Puppet::Node does not respond to from_s; can not intern instances from text/plain Error: Could not run: can''t convert Puppet::Util::Log into Integer ---pins--- whereas the client on a test box tells me: ---snip--- # puppet agent --test

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.

Is it normal that "facter --puppet" does not show the environment variable? is there a way to have it include it?

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
