I did just that, used a template to populate some external facts: [root@host123cluster123 ~]# cat /etc/facter/facts.d/inventory.txt cluster=123 servertype=typename stype=typename datacenter=dcname owner=groupname
[puppet exp] $ cat inventory.erb <%# these will be blank if the variable does not exist -%> <%# next 4 are set in cobbler's kickstart metadata -%> cluster=<%= @cluster %> servertype=<%= @stype %> stype=<%= @stype %> datacenter=<%= @datacenter %> owner=<%= @owner %> These end up in puppetdb and are available to mcollective when the usual collections happen. I haven't noticed any adverse effects from doing it this way.
