Issue #16903 has been updated by Magnus Forsberg.
Example XML output of Facter -x or --xml would be:
facter rubyversion uptime_days ipaddress_eth0 --xml
<opt rubyversion="1.8.7" uptime_days="1" ipaddress_eth0="192.168.0.1" />
Using Perl SimpleXML we can now do this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::Simple;
my $xs = new XML::Simple(keeproot => 1,searchpath => ".");
my $ref = $xs->XMLin("inventory.xml");
print Dumper($ref);
and from there feed our inventory system in a Perl script:
perl inventory.pl
Hash dump without 'forcearray => 1':
$VAR1 = {
'opt' => {
'rubyversion' => '1.8.7',
'uptime_days' => '1',
'ipaddress_eth0' => 'eth0',
}
};
