Jira (FACT-1345) Solaris automount entries in mountpoint result in huge fact lists

[Wyatt Alt (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Wyatt Alt commented on FACT-1345   Re: Solaris automount entries in mountpoint result in huge fact lists I just linked this to PDB-2631 – the puppet-users post referenced in that ticket confirmed that he is not on Solaris, meaning that this is really just a bigger (well-known) issue with the way PuppetDB is storing/updating large structured facts. I can't point to any way facter could be improved to fix the issue, so this ticket should remain closed. Any users/customers encountering it should probably be pointed to https://docs.puppet.com/facter/latest/custom_facts.html#fact-precedence as a way to mask the value of the problematic fact on the nodes where it is large with a custom fact valued nil (possibly "" if nil is problematic on older versions) and weight 100. Nodes where the fact is problematic can be identified by executing select certname,name,count(*) from fact_paths inner join facts on fact_paths.id=facts.fact_path_id inner join factsets on facts.factset_id=factsets.id where name=any('{"mountpoints", "disks","partitions"}') group by certname, name order by count desc; against the puppetdb database in psql (should be good back to PDB 2.3.8, but test first obviously).
