I think it's a permissions issue, but not sure how to best resolve. On CentOS6 the plugin sync sets file mode for external fact script (/var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/facts.d/myfacts.sh) to 0644, and then agent (or standalone puppet) reports that the file "parsed but returned an empty data set":
[root@foo ~]# puppet apply -e 'notice($mypkg_installed)' --environment development Fact file /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/facts.d/myfacts.sh was parsed but returned an empty data set Notice: Scope(Class[main]): Notice: Compiled catalog for foo.local in environment development in 0.01 seconds Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.13 seconds [root@foo ~]# If I "chmod a+x" the script then the fact parses successfully: [root@foo ~]# chmod a+x /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/facts.d/myfacts.sh [root@foo ~]# puppet apply -e 'notice($mypkg_installed)' --environment development Notice: Scope(Class[main]): true Notice: Compiled catalog for foo.local in environment development in 0.01 seconds Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.14 seconds [root@foo ~]# But the agent will always reset the file mode back to 0644. If anyone has suggestions on either preventing Puppet agent from reverting the fact script's permissions to 0644, OR getting the parser to resolve the facts without making the script executable, would be much appreciated.
