Incorrect "architecture" fact value during catalog run

[Alexander Azarov]

Hi all,

Can you help me diagnose a problem please?

I have Facter 1.6.2 and Puppet 2.7.6 installed and what happens is that I rely on "architecture" fact in my manifests and this fact looks correct when I run Facter and it is set to incorrect value during catalog run:

r4:/var/log# facter -p | grep architecture
architecture => amd64

r4:/var/log# puppet facts find r4.osinka.int
....,"architecture":"amd64",...

r4:/var/log# puppet agent --test --noop
info: Retrieving plugin
info: Loading facts in ec2_facts
info: Loading facts in ec2_facts
info: Caching catalog for r4.osinka.int
info: Applying configuration version '1320071507'
notice: /Stage[main]/Nginx/Notify[Architecture x86_64]/message: current_value absent, should be Architecture x86_64 (noop)

Any ideas? Where to dig?

Regards,
Alexander Azarov

What operating system is this? I'm looking at the documentation for
the architecture fact, and theres this:

# Resolution:
# On OpenBSD, Linux and Debian's kfreebsd, use the hardwaremodel fact.
# Gentoo and Debian call "x86_86" "amd64".
# Gentoo also calls "i386" "x86".

This is Debian 6.0.3

[Adrien Thebo]

Just as a curiosity, what web server are you using for your puppet master?

The simplest default, that is WEBrick I guess.

Could you post the operatingsystem fact alongside the architecture
fact for facter by itself, and then the facts as presented by puppet?

Okay, that's seriously weird. The only thing that comes to mind is
that running facter on the command line is using one version of
facter, and puppet's using another. Could you post the output of
facter and puppet with the architecture, operatingsystem, and
facterversion facts?

You can see results like this if you have the same fact in multiple
places; one thing to check would be what `facter --puppet` returns,
since that includes any facts that were sent to the client through
pluginsync.

Yes, I had an idea I have different versions and simply searched the system for different RubyGems installations.. for no result. I have the only one.

Here it is the output you requested:

r3:/var/log# facter --puppet | grep '\(archit\|facterv\|operatings\)'
architecture => amd64
facterversion => 1.6.2

operatingsystem => Debian
operatingsystemrelease => 6.0.3

r3:/var/log# facter | grep '\(archit\|facterv\|operatings\)'
architecture => amd64
facterversion => 1.6.2

operatingsystem => Debian
operatingsystemrelease => 6.0.3


r3:/var/log# puppet agent --test
...

Sorry for the slow response on this, it's been a chaotic few days. I'm
still very baffled by this. Could you do something like `find / -name
'architecture.rb'` to see if there's any way there could be another
fact definition for this? Although at this point I'm starting to
suspect bogons.

No problems, I've isolated the part of manifest that depends on "architecture", so everything works through a hack right now.

# find / -name architecture.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/architecture.rb
/var/lib/vservers/worker/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/architecture.rb
/var/lib/vservers/mongo/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/architecture.rb

Could you get the versions of facter in
/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter.rb and
/usr/lib/vservers/*/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter.rb and see if they differ?

Not been following this thread but this kind of wrong facts was
previously observed under heavily loaded webrick based installs.

What web server are you using?

Old (1.5.x), but these are old vservers, not in use. I can safely remove them, but I doubt it will help.

Yes, I'm using WEBrick, but my setup is very far from heavy load. I have only 4 servers under Puppet control.
