Thanks, that makes sense now. I'm looking into hiera, but I think I have another alternative as well. If I put my json files in the facter/facts.d directory (on the agent), it will be automatically loaded. The only somewhat minor downside is that facter runs first, so the data it fetches will only be available in the next puppet run. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than the hiera option as I didn't get hiera working yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
