I am using puppet to read a fact from facter, and based on that I apply a
different configuration to my modules.
Problem:
the puppet agent isn't seeing this fact. Running puppet agent --test
interactively
works as expected. Even running it non-interactively from a script seems to
work fine. Only the agent *daemon* is screwing up.
You seem to be assuming that the daemon will have the environment of a
login shell, and that when it runs Facter it will provide its own full
environment to the child process. Neither of those is a safe assumption.
There are several ways to reliably provide custom facts to Puppet. The
customary way is to write a bona fide Facter pluginand distribute it via
Puppet's automatic pluginsync mechanism, and that's what I would
recommend. If you want something simpler, however, then you might want to
check out this plugin:
