Do you know this information when you set up the server ? If so, just create an appropriate "host" resource
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#host “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luca Gioppo" <lucagio...@gmail.com> To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 4:58:00 AM Subject: [Puppet Users] passing hiera data to custom fact 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 the master IP and if I can set the hostname as a fixed known information the IP will be variable since I'm installing it in a cloud environment The custom facter code is: # master_ip.rb: # require 'facter' if FileTest.exists?("/usr/bin/dig") cmd = sprintf('/usr/bin/dig +short HERE_GOES_THE PARAMETRIC_HOSTNAME') result = `#{cmd}` Facter.add("master_ip") do setcode { result } end end Any Idea on how to refer to a data present in the module like $master_hostname or a hiera hash like $master_info['hostname'] Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
