external facts are not updated

[yannig rousseau]

Hi all,

I use external facts to collect data to our puppetmaster.
When running the "facter" or the "puppet agent -t" command, the external facts are correctly collected.

But as soon as I let the puppet service run, the external facts are no more gathered into inventory anymore

I use puppet puppet-3.2.2 and facter-1.7.1 on a RHEL5.10
The puppetmaster is puppet-server-3.3.2 on RHEL 6.5

Does anyone have an idea ?

Regards
Yannig

Hello,
I couldn't find any traces explaining this behaviour.
What could be the difference between the process run manually and the one run by service ??

Problem is resoled (and was quite silly)
There was an undetected environment issue (definition of path in profile.d)

To see it clearly, it is possible to restart manually the service (puppet agent is launched at service start, errors are displayed on console)
