Hi,
I want to retrieve server_facts as documented below but the puppet node
face doesn’t seem to create a variable called $server_facts in the facts
hash.
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_facts_and_builtin_vars.html#serverfacts-variable
It is the compiler indirection that sets those by doing add_server_facts
on the node. It first computes them by calling the private method
set_server_facts, which just remembers them in the compiler.
Then, when the compiler (the real one) starts compiling it ensure that
the variables are set up in top scope.
To get them (without copy/paste of the code in question and doing it
yourself, it is around 10-20 lines of code) you would probably need to
do a dummy compilation via a find catalog for a dummy node. Then get the
data from the node.
Not pretty.
Is there a way to get this data via the node face?
ie. puppet node find puppetdev.localdomain —terminus rest —render-as yaml
Does not seem so. And why would it? The server facts are not part of the
node (even if technically they are delivered that way from one place to
another inside puppet - but that is mainly because it is hard to pass
information around when the indirector is involved).
What is it you are trying to do?
