No... That's definitely not right :-) Puppet has had a feature called "pluginsync" for a while now, which downloads ruby code (types, providers, facts) from a Puppet Master before it does anything on a Puppet Agent. The Agent will write it's downloaded Ruby code into /var/lib/puppet/lib/ (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib in Puppet 5), and it will keep it synchronised so you can't pollute it. Probably the simplest thing for you to do right now is create a new module (call it yourcompany_stdlib ?) and put all your Facts in there. Custom Facts distributed from a module live in MODULEROOT/lib/facter/, here some examples from Puppetlabs' stdlib. You just put your .rb files in this directory: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/tree/master/lib/facter Then if you add that module to your Puppet Master, your Agents will magically synchronise them down - Puppet 3 and Puppet 5 (you don't need to "include" or do anything in a manifest). I'd link you some puppet.com Docs too, but right now I'm getting 5xx Cloud Flare errors. If it's working for you, look around for how to distribute custom facts in a module. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
