custom facts ir plugin facts

[pankaj sehgal]

Hi
Anyone can please help me to sort out whether custom facts are loaded first or build-in facts in the puppet master.

Thanks

[Spencer Krum]

Facts are generated by the Puppet client (agent) then given to the
master. The only reason ordering between custom and built in facts would
matter is if you ware trying to 'cloak' a fact. I think what you should
do is make a custom fact, then use that in your manifests.

If you cannot tell the difference then what does it matter?  Or to put it the other way around, why is it important to you?  In any case, what is still unclear to you after Spencer's response?
