@Martin, I have tried your approach; I put the facter file underneath: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/custom_facts/core/execution/
*file:* username.rb *content:* *# username.rb* *Facter.add(:username) do* * setcode do* * Facter::Core::Execution.execute("/usr/bin/hostname |/usr/bin/awk -F'-' {'print $1'}")* * end* *end* But I keep getting an error: Error: Evaluation Error: Empty string title at 0. Title strings must have a length greater than zero. (line: 1, column: 8) on node puppet-master.domain.com what am I missing here?
