Hi Isuru,
Yes, that is what I understand from the docs so far. However it seems
Puppet looks for a folder in the ruby lib path named facter. The
puppetinstall script copies the stratos_sendinfo.rb file to ruby lib root,
and not to a facter folder within it.
puppetinstall:247
if [ -d /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 ]; then
cp /root/bin/stratos_sendinfo.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.8
fi
And in the php module there is a custom facter script in the right folder
but as I've read [1] a setting must be enabled both on the server and the
client side to enable automatic plugin sync.
I'm in the process of converting these puppet modules to chef, and some of
these details keep hidden so far.
