rnelson, I managed to create 2 .rb files and several Custom Facts (I don't know the more succinct term).

It worked out awesomely!  Thank you again.

    Yeah, a 'profile::base' that does nothing or just updates the motd
    if you want a very simple manifest would do just fine.

        Hi Rob, thanks.

        A single run?  Runs don't need to change anything, but they do
        need to complete and send the report?  How do I accomplish that?

        Are you saying an empty class would do?

            If you deploy the custom fact, the agent would need to
            perform a single run and then send the report to puppetdb.
            Afterward, it would be visible in the admin console
            (assuming you mean PE console here) in all the usual
            places, such as in the node details and filtering by fact
            valued.

            The runs don't need to change anything, but they do need
            to complete and send the report; if this doesn't happen
            every 14 days by default, it will get purged from puppetdb
            and of course no longer show up.

                Can I write a custom fact and see its value returned
                in the Admin Console?  Or does it only allow for the
                execution of Puppet Code based on conditionals and
                criteria meeting expectations?

                If the answer is yes to the first question, can I
                simply write the Custom Fact, without necessarily
                making any changes to a Puppet Agent Node; so that I
                can assess certain details about my network that
                aren't *native Puppet Facts*?

                My employer is creating systems, and we are "stamping"
                them with a text file under /etc/ and we want to be
                able to grab the content of the file WE CREATE under
                /etc to determine if machine A, B....Z are part of
                Baseline1 or Baseline2; for example.

                Thanks in advance,
