Let me re-answer that: Using the stdlib::facter-dot-d, I expect you are restricted to /etc/facts.d
However, if you look at the examples here ( http://puppetlabs.com/blog/facter-part-1-facter-101/ ), you can create facts that reference files anywhere in the system. The example shows using a file at /etc/system_role to populate a fact. Looking at your original question again, it might be possible to create a Ruby script to do what you want. Look through the examples in that blog entry and the two that follow it. It's all great stuff. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Yaniv Fine <yanivf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can this be file in other path ? > On Aug 6, 2012 4:20 PM, "Dan White" <y...@comcast.net> wrote: > > > I think you are trying to re-invent a wheel that is already in use. > > > > Consider: > > > > http://puppetlabs.com/blog/module-of-the-week-puppetlabsstdlib-puppetlabs-standard-library-part-3/ > > > > facter-dot-d; a simple way of pulling facts from external sources. > > > > From the docs: > > > > A simple little framework to get facts from external sources.
