Thanks. I did a simple test and it seems to work great! One issue still remains though. Since we are running multiple instances of jboss on the same node, I still need to qualify each variable name with the instance number: jboss0_state,running jboss0_sw_version,1.10.12 jboss1_state,running jboss1_sw_version,1.12.15 and so on. Looks like the site.pp takes a facter variable. I wonder if there is some way I can get around the qualification by putting each instance in a separate csv file?
