Hi Guys,

I have a json configuration file on each Puppet Agent that I need to parse 
and return the values as custom facts.  Each json file will contain an 
array of from 0 to n elements each of which will have needed configuration 
settings.  I think what I need to write is an aggregate fact where the 
specific elements in the array will be represented as chunks.  Here's a 
simplified example of the json file.

{
        "Sites":
        [
                {
                        "WEB_ID": "0006",
                        "BACKUP_LIVE": "True",
                        "BACKUP_TEST": "False",
                        "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/live-0006.net",
                        "TEST_DIR": "/srv/www/test-0006.net",
                },
                {
                        "WEB_ID": "0145",
                        "BACKUP_LIVE": "True",
                        "BACKUP_TEST": "False",
                        "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/live-0145.net",
                        "TEST_DIR": "/srv/www/test-0145.net"
                },
                {
                        "WEB_ID": "0000",
                        "BACKUP_LIVE": "True",
                        "BACKUP_TEST": "False",
                        "LIVE_DIR": "/srv/www/live-0000.net",
                        "TEST_DIR": "/srv/www/test-0000.net"
                }
        ]
}

I don't think writing the fact would be too difficult but I don't know how 
to reference the facts from within a manifest on the Puppet Master.  I 
would like to be able to access these settings using a custom fact from 
within a manifest.  Something like:

        value=Sites[2]["LIVE_DIR"] 

and have the variable, value, set to '/srv/www/test-0000.net'.

If you have an aggregate fact, how to you use it in a manifest?

Is this possible?

Thanks.....
