varying files for puppet agents

[AAB !!]

HI,

How to manage files which are not static but dynamic. Different services can have files which needs different values based on their characteristics! 

Like in ssh configuration file the listening interface should be the IP of the machine (agent), in the same way how can I use hostname for some files ?

and if I have keepalived, how will I provide different priority numbers for the two different agent machines with the same file ???

Regards

You can use facts, which are sort of built-in variables, IP address and hostname among them:

I see some keepalived modules in Puppet Forge, maybe you can look at them.
