Thank for this suggestion Calvin,
I'm uploading facts to the inventory as part of this manifest.
I have a bunch of files I want to monitor. This can be random files. I
created a small script in ruby to check the existence of those files and
check the current md5sum. If the sum is not in my log, or the file has been
added to the list of files that need to be monitored, that file is being
send to the puppet filebucket and the file plus sum is added as a customer
fact.
The last step in my script will do a `puppet facts upload --terminus
inventory_service --mode agent` if any of the files has been changed. This
trick is here just for the reason you mentioned. The facts are 'known' to
others in the next run. I need this information directly.
Thanks again for your hint. Will be the first thing I try tomorrow.
