Creating a PowerShell based fact to get Drive Letters and Labels

[Ryan Murphy]

So I have the following powershell command that gives me the data I want, but I'm not sure how I can get Puppet to ingest it as a fact.

Get-WMIObject Win32_Volume | Where-Object {$_.DriveType -eq "3" -and $_.Label -ne "System Reserved" } | select Name, Label 

The Output looks like this.

Name                                                                      Label                                                                    

----                                                                      -----                                                                    

E:\                                                                       EVol                                                                     

D:\                                                                       DVol                                                                     

C:\                        

I wanted to get the Drive letters and labels in to a single fact in Puppet so that I could build Nagios disk checks off of them, But I'm not sure how to get the output to a format that Puppet will like.

Any powershell / puppet fact outputs out there able to help?

We use the windows disk facts module at https://forge.puppet.com/dylanratcliffe/windows_disk_facts

That should give you what you want then you can use it within your manifests.

hmmm... thanks for the suggestion, I wrote something, but I may give that a try.
