Jira (PUP-9115) custom facts don't get compiled
Title: Message Title Uwe Bartels commented on PUP-9115 Re: custom facts don't get compiled OK. I found the cause for this problem. if you configure the agent regarding puppetdb like the master with routes.yaml, puppetdb.conf and the corresponding entries in puppet.conf, then you see this behavior. For me the overall behavior is still a bug as the error message is completely misleading. Actuall I see more than one bug. I do configuration for the puppetserver in the configuration directory of the puppet agent /etc/puppetlabs/puppet not /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver. Yes I know this my approach without reading documentation carefully. The main cause for this I see in the documentation: https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/5.2/puppetdb_connection.html Here you write (headline) "Configuring a Puppet/PuppetDB connection". puppet is the componen meant as puppet agent. Better write something like "Configuring a Puppet Server/PuppetDB connection". Then you write "The Puppet master makes HTTPS connections to PuppetDB to store catalogs...". But the Puppet Agent also makes HTTPS connections to the PuppetDB, so as I need to configure the puppetdb.conf in the puppet agent directory /etc/puppetlabs/puppet I assumed that I need to configure puppetdb on the agent too. So basically I utterly confused that I configure the puppetserver in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet partly. if the confguration of puppetdb on the agent wrong (I know of the puppdb config for puppet apply) then the agent should complain about the misconfiguration same for the puppetserver - I configured puppetdb access in the directory /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver. If this is wrong puppetserver should complain about misconfiguration. I don't want to start a general discussion here. I know that you are using open source components which need to be integrated like this and you want to keep the puppet open for kind of everything the open source component offers. But this makes the configuration hard or especially the search for errornous configuration. Add Comment

Re: custom facts don't get compiled
I've got a similar behavior on a different machine. Again puppet code execution uses different custom fact results than the locally called facter command. Different from behavior above is that the fact is not Undef it has a valid but wrong value. I changed in the facter code the string unknown to unknow1 and the facter value used by puppet is still the same. I hope that helps. Best Regards, Uwe custom facter:
# ===Fact: nrpe_user
# This fact determines the user, which runs the nrpe-daemon.
# It was defined for the sudo::nrpe class.
Facter.add("nrpe_user") do
setcode do
if File.exist?('/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg')
File.open('/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg') do |f|
line = f.grep(/^\s*nrpe_user/)[0]
line.match(/^\s*nrpe_user\s*=\s*(.+)\s*$/)[1]
end
else
"unknown"
