Facter / FACT-3070 Facter whitelist Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2021/09/01 3:31 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Vladislav Pozniak Currently, there is feature to block groups of facts via 'blocklist' facter.conf option. But there is no feature to whitelist some facts. Practical example: I have XEN and KVM hypervisors. Networks on them are configured with network module. For bonding I need to gather macaddress_eth0 and macaddress_eth1 info to use it in config files. But with this facts, facter collects all the macaddresses of virtual servers on hypervisor, like: macaddress_dxvkvottfafeuf ac:1f:6b:bd:65:9a macaddress_eshezzolxuwgui fe:16:3e:ca:52:56 macaddress_eth0 ac:1f:6b:bd:65:98 macaddress_eth0.505 ac:1f:6b:bd:65:98 So now I can't disable macadress_* facts totally, because I need some of them. And there is no option to block group and whitelist certain facts from blocked group, or maybe block with regex (in my case all except macaddress_eth*). Add Comment
