Hi all,
I'm experiencing some difficulty getting custom facts to run. I've
installed them on the puppetmaster in:
${modulepath}/${module}/lib/facter/*.rb
and from there they appear to be copied properly onto the clients, where
they end up in:
/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/*.rb
On all clients, in puppet.log, the output of puppet-agent mentions
"Loading facts" and seems to do the right thing. However, running facter
on the client, the facts do not show up, even with --debug and with sudo.
On the puppetmaster, they do show up in facter output as expected.
So what's going wrong? I'm running CentOS 6 and Puppet 2.6.6.
Thanks,
Jonathan
I guess facter as a standalone executable doesn't look into
/var/lib/puppet. Try running
FACTERLIB=/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter facter
as described in the custom facts guide [1]

Thank you. This fix enables me to view the facts on the command line.
Will any further action be necessary to use the facts in Puppet?
Jonathan
