This works by modifying the linux methodology by using arp -a instead of arp -an and searching for the mac address with a hyphen delimiter (as apposed to a quote). I've added tests and a sample fixtures which adds output from arp -a from a windows machine and linux machines, on ec2 and not on ec2. I've also re-worked the decision making into a util class so the testing is much easier to write and work with, so now we can test the individual mechanism for detecting that we are in a cloud on their own. This will be much better abstracted into their own fact(s) but for now this has the least impact to solve the problem at hand. In the future this logic (and tests) can certainly be re-used if such a fact was evercreated. Thanks to Feifei Jia <[email protected]> for contributing the original code. (#11196) Scan all arp entries for an ec2 mac This patch now scans all arp entries for the magic EC2 mac address. At times the mac entry was being returned out of order and since we only looked at the first entry there were cases where the test would fail. It also now removes the dependency on the arp fact which has become only important to the EC2 fact anyway. This was to avoid hacking the arp fact (which was obviously built for a different purpose) just to fix this issue. (#8279) Join ec2 fact output with commas ec2 facts were being concatenated, which made array data harder to use. Switched to comma delimited data. Thanks to Hunter Haugen <[email protected]> for this patch. Other Improvements === (#10271) Identifying 'Amazon' using '/etc/system-release' Previously the operating system detection depended upon the lsbrelease package. This wasn't guaranteed to be present, so this could lead to incorrect detection. To remedy this, the presence of /etc/system-release is now used for detection on amazon linux. (#11436) Unify memorysize and memorytotal facts Two different names were given for the amount of physical memory in a given node. Switched to the name of 'memorysize' for the RAM and added a fallback fact 'memorytotal' that reverts to the memorysize. (#7753) Added error checking when adding resolves Added exception handling to the fact class. When adding a resolution to a fact, if an exception was thrown outside of the setcode block, facter would crash. Added handling so that if an exception is thrown, facter logs the error and discards the fact.
