I've read up on this a bit more and I am now beginning to understand how custom facts work. It did surprise me actually that all custom facts get instantiated at runtime - I also understand that you can write your ruby scripts in a way that your custom facts scripts do not necessarily need to apply changes to your nodes. But this appears to be an overhead to me. Yes, I can work around it, but i would rather not have to have the overhead. Why is this designed this way?
Reading this in detail helped me understand the issue http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html Thanks for your reply. -Oli -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
