Jira (PUP-5934) Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run
Title: Message Title Charlie Sharpsteen commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Now that PUP-7779 is in, I think we could do this in a fairly straight-forward manner by adding a report_facts setting that would cause the Puppet Agent to load and submit a new factset to `/puppet/v3/facts` at the end of the run before the report is sent to `/puppet/v3/report`. This setting should default to false as the additional fact submission would represent a 33% increase in the datasets sent to PuppetDB on each run from facts, catalog, report to facts, catalog, facts, report. For most folks, PuppetDB will handle that just fine — but at large scale it is a big enough increase that has to be enabled deliberately. We could follow the naive implementation above with something more sophisticated that computes the diff between facts loaded at the beginning of the run and those loaded at the end and attaches it to the report. That would be much more efficient as both the amount of data and number of processing operations would be reduced. However, this would require changes to the report format and PuppetDB and thus is a much bigger lift to accomplish.

Ryan Coleman How do you feel about re-opening this ticket as an OPTY? Not seeing updated facts after a run remains a source of confusion for users; as we promote use of tasks in the console, it seems even more important for users to see what they expect to see: create task > run job > see results (and, in some cases, report results), without having to know that an additional run is required if those results include a fact value change.

Title: Message Title Reid Vandewiele commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Verne Lindner that's correct. When a user runs a task in the console to update a package version, the Packages inventory will fail to display the correct package version(s) until after the next Puppet run begins. Interestingly, the Puppet run doesn't have to finish for the new package version to show up in the package inventory—it only has to start. Facts, including package inventory, are updated at the beginning of a Puppet run.

Title: Message Title William Rodriguez commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Ok, that was a bad example. I realize now that they actually are updating if updated via package inventory. The situation I was thinking of was a situation where we had updated the puppet-agent package across the fleet via a puppet agent run, using the puppet-agent module not a task, and it took us the length of an agent run to see the changes reflected across the fleet. I had forgotten that the package task actually does update inventory once a remediation action is taken.

Title: Message Title William Rodriguez commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run I'd love to see this, especially with PUP-7779. We have many use-cases where having facts updated faster would be a great value add for us. For example, with the package inventory, we don't see packages being updated until the next time puppet runs, which slows down remediation efforts. A simple flag to have the new facts upload face called after execution would be nice and we'd probably set it across the board. I'm pretty sure I've actually commented before to Nick Walker my thoughts on this, well before I knew this ticket even existed.

Title: Message Title Jon Pugh commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run +1 to the points made by Nick and Reid. As a customer I find the Puppet Console display of facts as they were before the last run to be extremely un-intuitive and find myself explaining to new team members that the reason they are seeing old values for facts they expected to be updated or created by a puppet run is due to this. A "before and after" view would be ideal - at the moment the "after" view only appears after the next run - some people end up doing a second run just to see the facts change. Make it a parameter on the agent if you want customers to actively acknowledge the behaviour perhaps? We also find it devalues the use of fact queries via PuppetDB significantly though I acknowledge the points made about "very current facts" being the underlying need.

Title: Message Title Reid Vandewiele commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Verne Lindner this came up in discussion on the Professional Services channel today in the context of looking for docs that describe Facter at a high level. Gist of the conversation was our docs do a decent job of describing WHAT Facter is, and HOW Facter works, but don't really touch on WHY Facter is useful. Some suggested "Why do we have Facter" were: Facter allows Puppet manifest writers to create dynamic configurations that adapt to machine-level specifics automatically Facter allows adminstrators to group nodes together by business purpose, application type, SDLC level, or other characteristic facts Facter allows users to create queries and node lists grouped by software licensing status, installed package versions, etc. Today, Facter excels only at that first use case because of this ticket. The second and third use cases are as compelling, if not more, but realizing use cases #2 and #3 is at a real-world disadvantage because the accuracy of information available lags 30 minutes behind reality. This ticket might well be re-titled "Promote Facter from a supporting role into a first-class feature" which fully supports all use cases ascribed to it, and not just use case #1 above.

Jira (PUP-5934) Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run
Title: Message Title Reid Vandewiele commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Verne Lindner in that it would help clarify to users what was happening, I think yes, there is a small potential value there. However, it's pretty small. The timestamps change all the time, and it's a bit of a stretch for people to read the timestamp and realize that the facts are always lagging the report, and then further connect the facts are older than the report and could have changed. There would be far more value in making the system match people's intuition about how it should work. How it should work is simple. How it does work is very unintuitive.

Title: Message Title Nick Walker commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Yes, one possible way to achieve this would be to allow agents access to update their own facts and only their own facts directly via the puppetdb API. However, I'm not sure that's desirable in more locked down architectures and it may still make sense to have an API on the master that forwards the facts to PuppetDB. In addition to submitting facts after a puppet run, you should be able to submit facts on whatever interval you prefer.

In past versions of puppet the agent would upload it's facts to the master before compiling a catalog and then those facts were used to compile the catalog. Now you have to submit facts with a request to compile a catalog and there is no way to submit facts outside of the request to compile a catalog ( or so that is my understanding).

Title: Message Title Reid Vandewiele commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run While real-time is the shining ideal, real-world use cases usually correspond pretty directly to Puppet reports. The impression customers usually have is that when looking at a node detail page, for a node that last reported at timestamp, the facts shown are representative of the enforced state of that node at that time. That is, the fact values at the end of a run. Aiming for real-time as a first iteration seems like a perfect is the enemy of good scenario, and a diminished return.

Title: Message Title Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Got one idea around this set of functionality... What if the agent ran facter on a regular interval and compared the set of facts against the last run. In the simplest case, if facts differ, initiate a scheduled run, or just send them to the server. (You would obviously always filter out ever changing facts before computing if there is a diff).

Puppet / PUP-5934
Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run
Change By:
Reid Vandewiele
Today it is the case that facts are generated prior to a Puppet run, then Puppet makes changes to the system. Because changes are made, it may be the case that the true value of a fact for a system will have changed after the run, but it will not be updated in PuppetDB until the run interval elapses (typically 30 minutes) and the next run begins.It is becoming common for PuppetDB queries to be used to select nodes based on fact values, for grouping and reporting. In addition, modules like Erik Dalén's puppetdbquery allow the master to build catalogs for node A based on facts about node B. The longer the time window during which node B's PuppetDB facts are out sync with the node's real fact values, the longer it takes for the infrastructure as a whole to converge on a correct, consistent configuration.Additionally, the intuitive mental model of reading Puppet reports and fact lists in the console is "Puppet submitted a report at time X, therefore I know that the facts shown are valid as of time X". However, this is not true today as described above. A common _customer assumed_ use case for facts is being able to query facts in real time to validate information about a server. Because of today's limitations, querying facts does not provide real-time data. At best, the data provided is lagging real-time by up to {{run_interval}} on each node. h2. Feature RequestIn addition to submitting facts at the beginning of each run, Puppet should submit updated fact values at the end of each run along with the report.

Title: Message Title Reid Vandewiele commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run The facts at the time the report was submitted seems kind of meaningless. Those fact values weren't used for anything and so don't correspond to anything else, including the report. What you're really asking for is very current facts. I think that's what we should aim for, not piggybacking the facts on the last known thing the agent did. Yes, I think that's accurate. The suggestion of report submission time was born out of an imagined implementation, and still might make a good first "all facts must be up to date when this event occurs no matter what" milestone. That said, if there were some magical way of just always having up-to-date facts instead, that would totally solve the problem statement.

Title: Message Title Kylo Ginsberg commented on PUP-5934 Re: Updated fact values should be submitted after each Puppet run Hmm, this may warrant a chat to get right. If anything I've thought about decoupling fact submission from agent runs entirely, and ideally making them submitted at different rates depending on their volaitility. In part that idea is inspired by concerns like the one you raise here: The longer the time window during which node B's PuppetDB facts are out sync with the node's real fact values, the longer it takes for the infrastructure as a whole to converge on a correct, consistent configuration. In any event, re the solution requested: Puppet should submit updated fact values at the end of each run along with the report. The facts at the time the report was submitted seems kind of meaningless. Those fact values weren't used for anything and so don't correspond to anything else, including the report.
