Hello all, I am currently trying to setup a Custom Fact that will can be used to determine the version of the Java JRE running on a machine, in order to use it in my manifests to ensure the proper JARS are distribured based on environment. I''m trying to use the java -version command and then capture the JRE release (eg "1.6.0_37"). No matter what I have tried, the output

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

I need to create a custom fact based on a parametric information (I need to get the IP of another machine knowing the hostname, the machine name could be different for different nodes so I need it parameteric and I recover the machine hostname from a hiera, but for the purpose of the question it could also be a data in the module definition). I''m installing a cluster and need to get

Dear all, I have a custom fact, that reads a file and then generate the values dynamically based on the file content. It''s something like this: inFile = "/home/admin/OSs.txt" > gos = {} > > if File.exist?(inFile) > open(inFile, ''r'').each do |line| > next if line =~ /^\s*(#|$)/ > parts =

Hi, I''m looking to combine a couple of fact names with the value of a class parameter to create and lookup the resulting fact''s value. Is that possible? For example, my class will take the parameter "my_default_nic" from beyond. So I know that as long as $my_default_nic exists on the client, then so will facts like macaddress_<NIC>, netmask_<NIC>,

Hi, I''m rookie puppet user and I trying to establish simple Server-Client connection on configuration: Server: *Fedora F18*, Puppet 3.1.1 (installed by yum), Ruby 1.8.7 Client: *Debian 6.0.6*, Puppet 3.1.1 (installed by guide<http://shapeshed.com/setting-up-puppet-on-ubuntu-10-04/>), Ruby 1.8.7 Server sign client certificate with success but now I''m struggle with apply

Just started a rollout of centos 6.x across our Puppet deployment (100-odd servers). what fact would people suggest I use to distinguish 5.x from 6.x (quite a lot of subsystems are different between major releases)? lsb* facts don''t seem to be present on centos 6 - is this an EPEL bug, or have they just been removed in Facter? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are

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. I''m at wits end with this. Thanks! <snip> utc_hour = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(%q</bin/date -u +"%H">).chomp Facter.add(:noop) do setcode do

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.*": {

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

Hello, I''m new to puppet and facter. Initially we are planning on using facter/puppet to inventory machines (Mac, Ubuntu, and RHEL). We plan on writing a number of custom facts. Obviouly some of the facts will only be specific to some OSs. I know there is a "confine" method, but it confuses me. It seems the confine statement in some of the recipes and in the Turnbull book is

Hello Puppet Users ! We encounter a problem with the dashboard on this URI : /reports/changed The /reports works fine with ~130000 reports (up to 3 months and auto-cleaning with rake reports:prune job) I make a reports:prune:orphaned, juste in case, but without any success. The most recent change on the server was the puppetmaster upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0. Here is the dashboard error log

So far we have a similar situation, for each different server one fabric and one puppet file, where the fabric file simply applies it in a brutal way. with settings(user=''root''): put(''qa.pp'', ''qa.pp'') put(''puppet apply qa.pp'') And puppet files don''t use anything like classes or modules, but

Hi, I run into problems with the ipaddress fact using the latest Facter gem (1.6.4, 1.6.5) on SLES11. The versions and gems I use work perfectly fine on SLES10 SP3. The problem: running "facter" without arguments results in an error, even though the erroring fact "ipaddress" is ok. test:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL

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 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

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 --
