Issue #11320 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Project changed from Puppet to Facter Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision Assignee set to Nigel Kersten
Nigel, seems like a reasonable feature request, and something we should make default. OTOH, it isn't actually a *fact* level thing, unless we start adding custom facts inside the Puppet process, which is an architecture change (around the layers of responsibility) as far as I know. Can you make a final call on this, please. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11320: node_name_value unavailible as a fact https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11320 Author: Ramin K Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: I'm not sure this is a bug so I'm calling it a feature until someone says otherwise. What I'm trying to do is divorce certname from fqdn and the name of the node from either of those. Comments in Issue #2128 could be interpreted to say that this is an acceptable and valid use case. Client is 2.7.6 with Facter 1.6.2. The master is 2.7.6. I have this set in my puppet.conf on the client. No changes to the standard config on the master for node names. <pre>[agent] certname = 007f0101 node_name_value = precise01.stage.aws</pre> The above works and matches my regex for Ubuntu Precise testing. However I can not find any way to use the value of node_name_value as a fact. I could write a custom fact, but it seems like I should be able to access node_name in some way for manifests outside of it's mapping to certname, clientcert, hostname, or fqdn. Also I'm not sure that solves the problem since I'd end up setting node_name_fact rather than using node_name_value. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
