Facter / FACT-852 Add support for systemd and systemd_version facts Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Eric Sorenson Created: 2015/03/12 2:16 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Yanis Guenane In Puppet some actions can be taken or not based on if the system is running systemd or not. Initially I thought that basing those criteria out of $::osfamily and $::operatingsystemmajrelease would be enough. But with Debian Jessie for example, user can decide whether or not to enable it. This can make the $::osfamily and $::operatingsystemmajrelease not discriminating enough. Hence the RFE for a systemd and systemd_version fact Add Comment

Re: Add support for systemd and systemd_version facts it would be more flexible to provide the identity of the init system, instead of specifically testing for systemd. I would rather see something like $::osinitsystem, which would return a String like 'systemd', 'sysv-init', or 'upstart'.

Re: Add support for systemd and systemd_version facts I do think that three facts would be good: systemd_running (systemctl is-system-running) sytemd version (string) systemd flags (structured fact/list: +PAM -AUDIT -SELINUX -IMA -APPARMOR -SMACK -SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP -GCRYPT -GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 -SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN ) (systemctl --version)

Re: Add support for systemd and systemd_version facts Moving this back to `open` as it's still a reasonable feature request even though we didn't land the code in Facter 2.

Re: Add support for systemd and systemd_version facts I have also being bitten by this, and ended um writing a custom fact for a module I contribute to. This fact detects the actual init system in use, instead of trying to guess by distro and version or just check which systems are installed and picking the most probably used. It is only 100% reliable in RedHat and Debian families because, in some situations, we have to deal with the package manager directly - and I am only familiar with rpm and dpkg. I'd be happy to have this code moved to Facter and improved as needed. What do you think?
