The standard means for nodes to publish information to the master is via
facts, and the standard means for the master to use information belonging
to one node to configure another node is exporting and collecting
resources. In principle, therefore, you create a custom fact by which
node2 (and every other node) publishes the contents of /etc/mynode.txt to
the master, and the master creates an exported resource such as this:
@@file { "/etc/nodes/${hostname}-mynode.txt":
# using your custom fact:
content => "${mynode_txt_content}"
}
Among the classes assigned to node2, at least one would collect some or all
of those files:
# This actually collects *all* exported files:
File<<| |>>
Node2 would then get copies of all nodes' /etc/mynode.txt files as
/etc/nodes/<nodename>-mynodes.txt.
