puppet agent daemon does not load custom facts

[Panaman]

This is something that is really bugging me, for some reason my puppet
agents will not load the custom facts i have created.
I Have the inventory service running in my puppet dashboard so I can
see they are not loaded.
If I ssh to the client node and manually run "puppet agent -t" the
custom facts load and they show up in the inventory of the dashboard.

I really hope I just have some configuration setting wrong. If I have
to ssh to all my clients and run this by hand just to get them loaded
I'm going to have a bad day.....

Hi,

so the puppet.conf on the clients specifies pluginsync=true, I assume.

Are you certain that the agents have already loaded this puppet.conf, or
is it possible that they were initially launched with a pluginsync=false
setting?

Regards,
Felix

Is the custom fact perhaps based on a environment variable?

 

I had something similar a while ago, check this post;
