Custom facts in modules

[g h]

I am having trouble getting custom facts to be read in my puppet
config. Also, for some reason the facter command is looking in the "./
facter" directory when I run it; so if I run facter from within my
module directory's lib folder, I can get the output.

How can I get facter to read modules?

Relevant output is below.

Thanks!

[root@puppet facter]# pwd
/etc/puppet/modules/nsc-puppet-utils/lib/facter
[root@puppet facter]# cat dns_servers.rb

q = 1
` grep '^[ \t]*nameserver' /etc/resolv.conf | awk '{print $2}' `.each
do |line|
Facter.add( "dns" + q.to_s ) do
setcode { line }
end
q = q+1
end
[root@puppet facter]# facter | grep dns
[root@puppet facter]# cd ..
[root@puppet lib]# pwd
/etc/puppet/modules/nsc-puppet-utils/lib
[root@puppet lib]# facter | grep dns
dns1 => 172.30.0.53
dns2 => 172.30.0.54
[root@puppet lib]# strace -f facter 2>&1 | grep dns_servers

st_size=172, ...}) = 0

1) You have "pluginsync = true" twice, but I assume this doesn't matter.
2) I believe factsync is deprecated, now and pluginsync is enough in more modern version of puppet.
3) What version of puppet are you using on the client?
4) Are the client and server the same computer? Your output seems to imply they are.
5) What does "find /var/lib/puppet -name dns_servers.rb" give you? (This path might not be the correct one if you're NOT using a Debian based server. If so, this should give you the right path: "puppet --genconfig | grep 'vardir =' "
