Hi Stella,
my first thought goes to implement a ENC script. Since you are already
keeping inventory data in a database, you could keep everything in one
place. If it is possible to add puppet support, in practice, make it
possible to assign puppet classes to your nodes in your sybase setup.
If that is not possible, I would look at a hiera backend getting the
info from your sybase database.
Keep in mind that it is the puppet master that needs the info from your
sybase database, so facts is not really an option.
(technically you can, but then every node needs access to your database,
but your master can get the needed info also, only keep in mind your
master identifies the nodes with the 'clientcert' or 'certname'.
Personally, I would go for the ENC first place, hiera in second, but
facts is a no-go.

Hi,
I am using Puppet 3.62. Trying to figure out what is the best way to
connect to my sybase database to query machine information.
Which is better:
1. Define facts that will connect to my sybase and do the query.
2. Use Hiera to connect to my sybase and do the query.
Anyone has any example to share?
Thanks!
Stella
