An ENC can be used to insert a sort of "Puppet Master defined Fact" (which is actually a top scope variable/parameter) before catalog compilation. Note that this will never appear in "facter -p" on the Agents, because it's not really a Fact.
Code: https://gist.github.com/lukebigum/20231e70545a298b7dc5 And the data file looks like: [root@master ~]# head -n10 /etc/puppet/roles.yaml #Managed by Puppet --- host.example.com: parameters: role: woof server.example.com: parameters: role: cows -- Luke Bigum Senior Systems Engineer Information Systems ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hubert Schmoll" <hubertschm...@googlemail.com> To: "Puppet Users" <puppet-users@googlegroups.com> Cc: s...@tetralog.de Sent: Friday, 4 December, 2015 9:31:33 AM Subject: [Puppet Users] Custom facts per node.. only via /etc/facter/facts.d/fact_xyz.txt per node? Hello everyone, here's what i wanna accomplish: i am havin 4 so called servergroups - ci - dev - stage - production and i want them to have specific facts depending on the group they are in. so in every node i created a file /etc/facter/facts.d/servergroup.txt, containing e.g. *servergroup=stage* where then a *facter -d servergroup *in the clienthost gives me an: *stage * on puppet master, my hiera.yaml looks like this: :hierarchy: - "servergroup/%{::servergroup}" - "nodes/%{::clientcert}" - common and i've got on my hieradata a folder servergroup with an file stage.yaml, which, then again, holds: message: '*** Preparing STAGE environment ***' repo_stage_enabled: '1' repo_prod_enabled: '0' nrpe_allowed_hosts: '192.168.3.4' my module which installes a nrpe uses then these values. like: $nrpe_allowed_hosts = hiera('nrpe_allowed_hosts') so far this works, every stage node gets this values, productive of ci nodes get different values. all good. What i do not like is that i have on each node to create the file "/etc/facter/facts.d/servergroup.txt". I'd rather like to have this information which servergroup each node belongs on my puppetmaster. Any ideas? Use ENC? Create kinda custom facts on the puppet master ?
