Re: [Puppet Users] Determining puppet env from client

[Martin Alfke]

Hi Dave,

Environment is a server-side fact 
(https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/lang_facts_builtin_variables.html#lang_facts_builtin_variables-server-facts
 
)

It is not shown on the agent.
But I always thought that server side facts are shown in PE on the Node facts.
But I might be wrong.

Best,
Martin

Hi Maritn, thanks for answering. 

Yes, that's the sort of thing I was expecting to see But, I have no 
such fact listed.  

I wondered if this was a consequence of having an old copy of puppet agent 
installed - the box I'm testing on is running 3.5 - but the lists of 'core 
facts'; on puppet's website don't list an 'environment' fact, and I can't 
find any fact in the PE console's fact dialog box.  Have I misunderstood 
your comment?

Thanks

Re: [Puppet Users] Determining puppet env from client

[Martin Alfke]

Hi Dave,

On PE Console, select a Node to view Node facts and check the environment 
Variable.
This variable is set on Master side, not agent side.
Check that the environment variable matches to the PE selected node environment.
You should then be able to filter using the environment “Fact”.

Best,
Martin

[Puppet Users] Determining puppet env from client

[daveford...@gmail.com]

Hi - I've just starting working with a complex puppet environment that's 
running with dozens of different environments.  

The PE console doesn't really seem to give me a way to filter views of 
machines by anything other than facts.  So I'm wondering if there's a fact 
I can use to determine which environment a puppet agent is running in? I 
can't see anything out ofthe box from facter, and also can't seem to get 
anything useful from puppet config cmd.  Our environment is being fed from 
the ENC in PE, rather than the local puppet.conf file, so examing that is 
no use.   The only place I can seem to see any references ot the env. is in 
the last_run_report in the cache - is that the best place to find this 
info? 

Thanks
Dave
