You could create a fact that's distributed via Puppet. Using Facter's external facts support, this can be a script that's executed on each Puppet run and then the value of the fact will be stored in Foreman. The result won't be very easy to read, but it may suffice. https://docs.puppet.com/facter/3.5/custom_facts.html#external-facts has more information on creating external facts. If it's in the modulepath then it will be downloaded automatically by the Puppet agents. -- Dominic Cleal [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
