access facts in ENC

[Hai Tao]

Hi,

As the only paramater we can pass to the ENC is the hostname, I wonder
if there is a way to access a node's fact in the ENC script?

I know a workaround is to query my Fact database ( I am using Mysql),
but I like to know if I can use a variable directly, for example,
$ipaddress?

Thanks.

Hai T.

----
$hostname should work
$fqdn is an option but that will likely carry a domain name with it.

I am talking about facts other than hostname, such as ipaddress, custom facts.

Your ENC script can pretty much do whatever you want it to do. I'm not
exactly following what you want to do with the facts, but you could
upload them to your ENC like so:
