This is on Amazon Linux on EC2 - Puppet Agent and master are at 2.7.25
Manual runs of facter and puppet `puppet agent -t` complete successfully
and produce no errors. how were if puppet runs either as service daemon or
cron I get the above error in the log.
Here is the error
/var/log/messages
Nov 17 21:47:36 servername puppet-agent[123]: Starting Puppet client
version 2.7.25
Nov 17 21:47:36 servername puppet-agent[123]: Could not run Puppet
configuration client: *Could not retrieve local facts: private method
`scan' called for nil:NilClass*
This is the custom fact which is producing the error
Any reason why this code would run successfully manually but fail a daemon?
cat /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/ec2tags.rb
require 'facter'
if Facter.value("ec2_instance_id") != nil
instance_id = Facter.value("ec2_instance_id")
region = Facter.value("ec2_placement_availability_zone")[0..-2]
tags = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("ec2dtag -O key -W secret_key
--filter \"resource-id=#{instance_id}\" --region #{region} | cut -f 4-|awk
'BEGIN{FS=\" \";OFS=\"|\"} {$1=$1; print $0}'")
tags.scan(/(.*)\|+(.*)/) do |key, value|
fact = "ec2_tag_#{key}"
Facter.add(fact) { setcode { value } }
end
end
