thats correct, foreman will import the facts as soon as they have been written to the yaml dir (or if you are using store config as soon as they are written to the db by puppet).
in foreman deployment scenario, the first time puppet runs is only to fetch the certificates (e.g. in OS post install), so it can work. but you are correct that this is a limitation if your facts change often. btw: the same problem exists with normal external nodes which query the local yaml files :( Ohad On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 6:22 PM, Nigel Kersten <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 8:19 AM, Ohad Levy <[email protected]> wrote: > > probably dumb answer - use foreman as it includes the facts already ;) > > but if I understand Foreman correctly, it's getting these from the > cached version server-side right?
