Title: Message Title Fabrice Bacchella commented on FACT-184 Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig You don't intent to fixe it until facter 3 is out ? The current interfaces fact implementation is broken in many way : it still uses ifconfig, which is broken in linux since years it launch ifconfig in a wrong way: "sh", "-c", "/sbin/ifconfig -a 2>/dev/null", why fork a shell for that ? it's result are wrong, because ifconfig is deprecated, and ifconfig confuse interfaces and ip address, On a RHEL7, if you have two IP on the same interface, ifconfig gives : bond0: flags=5187 mtu 1500 ... bond0:git: flags=5187 mtu 1500 ... But ip link list, /proc/net/dev, snmp only see bond0, so the bond0_git interface is unusable in many ways. Add Comment

Title: Message Title Michael Smith commented on FACT-184 Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig I understand the bug. My concern is with the ubiquity of the 'ip' command, which I'm simply unfamiliar with. According to http://linux.die.net/man/8/ip it was added in Linux 2.2, so I suppose it's everywhere we need it to be. Matthaus Owens, can you weigh in on this change?

Title: Message Title Michael Smith commented on FACT-184 Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig Thank you for the patch Kristyna Streitova. This should be fixed in Facter 3, as we call OS APIs directly; can you provide an example of what created the problem you were fixing so we can confirm that? I have some concerns about breaking older LInux versions by changing to only trying `ip link`. I'll give further feedback in the PR, but we may be able to incorporate this for Facter 2.4.

Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig
For anyone else interested, this is the custom fact I'm using to get the proper IP:
Facter.add(:ip) do
confine :kernel => :linux
setcode do
default_route_line = %x{ip route}.split("\n").find{|l| l.match(/^default /)}
if default_route_line then
default_gw = default_route_line.match(/ via (\S+)/)[1]
ip = %x{ip route get #{default_gw}}.match(/ src (\S+)/)[1]
else
ip = %x{ip addr}.match(/inet ([^\/]+).* scope global/)[1]
end
end
end
Unfortunately it had to be called ip. You can't call it ipaddress as custom facts don't override built-in facts. And it can't be called ipaddr as it then causes issues with the ruby IPAddr built-in class.
This will get the IP address the system uses by default. If the system has more than one default route, it will pick the first one. If the system has no default route, it will pick the first global scope address (address reachable by other hosts). If the system has no global scope address, it will error (easy to modify, but didn't think worth it).

Title: Message Title Gerrard Geldenhuis commented on an issue Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig I don't think there is any valid argument any more for using ifconfig as default. ifconfig has been marked as deprecated for quite a while and we all should really just use ip and so should facter.

Title: Message Title Jason Antman commented on an issue Re: Using 'ip addr' over ifconfig I'll vote for this one, confirmed on current Arch linux. Not sure if I'll really have the time to submit a patch though. IMO the safest solution (not necessarily the best) would be to fall back to using "ip addr" if ifconfig isn't available. Most purists or people working on modern distros would probably say that ifconfig should be the fallback.
