Lack of response? This is a volunteer community forum, not a paid technical support service. Give it some time. Before you open a bug report, you should make sure that the file containing your custom fact(s) is readable by the Puppet agent service. That facter can read the file when you run it from the command line does not prove that. Even though the agent runs as a privileged user (or should), access could still be blocked in various ways, such as 1. Mandatory access controls (a.k.a. SELinux in enforcing mode) could allow you to read the file, but prevent the agent service from doing so. 2. If /etc/facter/facts.d is on an NFS-mounted filesystem that performs root-squashing, then the agent may have less permissions on it than you, personally, do. There are probably other means. Also, make sure Puppet is using the same Facter that you are using from the command line. If you have multiple versions installed then all manner of havoc might ensue. You might get multiple versions by installing them from gem or from source into different Ruby libraries, or into different parts of the same Ruby lib.
