Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values This would be useful. For instance the ec2 facts which poll our nova master quite a bit. Add Comment

Kenn Hussey Yes we should - I'm working on a Puppet RFC for a facter.conf file, which includes TTLs as a feature.

Facter / FACT-348

Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values

Change By: Maggie Dreyer Release Notes Summary: This adds the ability to cache groups of facts for a specified length of time. Adding the name of a fact group along with a duration to the `ttls` section of the config file will cause Facter to only resolve that group of facts once, until the cache expires. Example: facts : { ttls : [ { "kernel" : 30 days }, { "file system" : 1 hour } ] } will cause kernel and file system facts to be cached for 30 days and 1 hour, respectively. The names of cacheable fact groups can be found using the `--list-cache-groups` command line option. The location of the cache is `/opt/puppetlabs/facter/cache/cached_facts/` on Unix and `C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\facter\cache\cached_fact\` on Windows. Release Notes: New Feature

Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values Is there any way to set the cache group on a custom fact? This would really be most useful for those as the builtin ones are pretty fast anyway.

Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values

There is not currently a way to do that. On some people's systems, some of the built-in facts are quite slow, and caching them was straightforward, which is why we started there. Could you describe in a little more detail what your use case is and what sort of user experience you'd like to see for caching custom facts? That would help us design a good solution.

Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values

Erik Dalén and I had a brief chat on Slack that I'll copy here for context. https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/archives/puppet/p1481653413001521 tyler.pace [10:23 AM] @dalen @mjolnir40k Do you have any other examples of custom facts that you would like to cache? And, how long would they be cached? dalen [10:33 AM] @tyler.pace a bunch of stuff from the `lshw` tool (that takes ~12 seconds to run on our hardware) @tyler.pace 1 day cache time seems reasonable for that @tyler.pace also some Dell Poweredge bios stuff that takes a while to read, firmware versions etc tyler.pace [10:37 AM] @dalen Would you want to add those facts to an existing cache group or perhaps be able to create your own custom cache group(s)? dalen [10:38 AM] @tyler.pace probably create our own would be best

Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values

I haven't really put much thought into how to implement this yet, but it seems like the custom fact cache group/key would be something you would set in the fact itself, then use in the config file. If that group name was the same as a built-in group, all the built-in facts in that group would get cached along with the custom fact. If it was unique, only the custom fact(s) with that group would be cached.
