Hmm... I didn't even know this existed. Ironically, given your question, it sounds like something I'd want to use. But if it's going away, I guess I'll just totally forget that I heard it...
Use case: We still have a bunch of legacy systems that aren't puppetized and probably never will be (lots of "base" stuff that we do on "every" host that would break these snowflakes). For everything else, PuppetDB is our one and only inventory system. These legacy boxes exist only in a... spreadsheet. If I knew there was a way to get facts from them into PuppetDB without risking what would happen with a full puppet run, I probably would've done it by now... -Jason On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 1:36 PM, Chuck <cssc...@gmail.com> wrote: > We are pushing facts into puppetdb for initial loads so that we can track > system loads before puppet runs the first time. > > > On Friday, September 26, 2014 12:26:09 PM UTC-5, Ken Barber wrote: >> >> Do many people use or care about the ability to upload facts out of >> band to PuppetDB from a machine without the need for a full catalog >> compilation?
