Title: Message Title

Ciprian Badescu updated an issue   Facter / FACT-3070 Facter allowlist Change By: Ciprian Badescu Currently, there is feature to block groups of facts via 'blocklist' facter.conf option. But there is no feature to whitelist allowlist some facts. Practical example: I have XEN and KVM hypervisors. Networks on them are configured with network module. For bonding I need to gather macaddress_eth0 and macaddress_eth1 info to use it in config files. But with this facts, facter collects all the macaddresses of virtual servers on hypervisor, like: |macaddress_dxvkvottfafeuf|[ac:1f:6b:bd:65:9a|https://puppet.hosterby.com/fact/macaddress_dxvkvottfafeuf/ac%253A1f%253A6b%253Abd%253A65%253A9a]| |macaddress_eshezzolxuwgui|[fe:16:3e:ca:52:56|https://puppet.hosterby.com/fact/macaddress_eshezzolxuwgui/fe%253A16%253A3e%253Aca%253A52%253A56]| |macaddress_eth0|[ac:1f:6b:bd:65:98|https://puppet.hosterby.com/fact/macaddress_eth0/ac%253A1f%253A6b%253Abd%253A65%253A98]| |macaddress_eth0.505|[ac:1f:6b:bd:65:98|https://puppet.hosterby.com/fact/macaddress_eth0.505/ac%253A1f%253A6b%253Abd%253A65%253A98]| So now I can't disable macadress_* facts totally, because I need some of them. And there is no option to block group and whitelist allowlist certain facts from blocked group, or maybe block with regex (in my case all except macaddress_eth*).
