Issue #11320 has been updated by Ken Barber.
Does this belong in the facter project? Weither you're adding facts in Puppet - or just adding variables into the scope - I don't think the change occurs in Facter in this case. We do however have an example of a fact created outside of Puppet that taps Puppet information: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib/blob/master/lib/facter/puppet_vardir.rb So it ultimately depends on what you want here. We could theoretically do it this way - and return what is effectively all puppet configuration in facter - which could then be used outside facter? ---------------------------------------- Feature #11320: node_name_value unavailible as a fact https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11320#change-59484 Author: Ramin K Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library 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.
