Push Puppet custom Facts to agent

[Nikhil Patil]

Hi All,

I have created the custom fact in ruby and placed in facterlib path on master. when i run facter -p on master i see the facter value in response. Now i want this to be pushed on all my agent from puppet master. how this can be achieved. 

Thanks & Regards

Nikhil

Hello,

Normally you would place custom facts in the directory lib/facter of a module (any module). When the setting pluginsync is true (and this is the default value for quite a long time), on the next puppet run this fact will be synced to the agent.

Hello Nikil,

Can you help me out in writing facts in ruby.?

Actually i want to run a command which is not working .

require 'facter'
Facter.add(:xyz_version) do
  confine :kernel => "Linux"
  setcode do
    Facter::Core::Execution.execute('/bin/cat /var/xyz/installation.log | /bin/grep "CCHIDS VERSION" | /bin/grep -o  "[0-9].[0-9]"') 
  end
end

Put your facts in a module and they'll be synced everywhere they're needed automatically. https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.3/plugins_in_modules.html#auto-download-of-agent-side-plug-ins-pluginsync
