I'm having a pretty weird problem with a custom fact inside a module I wrote.
I would understand this problem better if it affected all clients (of same version) equally but it doesn't. A long time after changes in the master (24h+), to make sure there are no caches, after several "puppet agent -t" runs, in short this is what I get : [root@host1 ~]# find /var/lib/puppet/ -name discover-hdfs-partitions.* /var/lib/puppet/facts.d/discover-hdfs-partitions.sh [root@host2 ~]# find /var/lib/puppet/ -name discover-hdfs-partitions.* [root@host2 ~]# As it helps debugging, here's the first puppet run on host2 (after completely wiping the agent, reinstalling RPM, revoking certificate and starting from scratch) : http://pastebin.com/Eu46A5RK As you see the fact file is pretty much ignored and not copied. Both agents have the same exact version : puppet-3.7.3-1.el6.noarch And the master is the same. (very close, if not the same 3.7 release) Any clues on how to debug this further? I have close to 300 nodes and most of them are fine. Few are presenting this but is enough to create the mess. I also tried to workaround this by copying the file by hand to the right place, but even after that the fact won't appear. If I run the script by hand, it works : [root@host3 ~]# /var/lib/puppet/facts.d/discover-hdfs-partitions.sh hdfs_partitions=/data1/hadoop/data,/data2/hadoop/data,/data3/hadoop/data So for some reason this fact is ignored. It looks like that facter -p won't show facts that are defined by modules, so any suggestion on how to debug this is welcome. Thanks, Samir ==================================================== For completeness, this is where the custom fact sits on the module : modules/hdfs/facts.d/discover-hdfs-partitions.sh And healthy nodes will use the fact for a notify, among other things : Notice: /Stage[main]/Hdfs::Datanode/Notify[Found the following HDFS data mountpoints: /data1/hadoop/data,/data2/hadoop/data]/message: defined 'message' as 'Found the following HDFS data mountpoints: /data1/hadoop/data,/data2/hadoop/data' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
