Hey, thanks for joining us. We love to have new folks come in and
start using puppet. :)

Ben gave the syntax needed to use this in a template, but you should
be able to use either of the 'hostname' or 'fqdn' facts anywhere in
puppet when you run it. If that isn't working, it can help to post
the snippet of puppet code that is broken. (Ideally, work out a
half-dozen lines that don't work rather than your entire manifest,
that makes it easier to help you, but either way is fine.)
The reason for doing that is once, say, I have a copy of the manifest
I can test it on my machine and see if it works for me - or fix it, if
it doesn't. :)
Anyway, welcome to the list,
Daniel
