hi, solved by switching to a custom fact function:
classes_file = '/var/lib/puppet/state/classes.txt' classes_hash = {} modules_array = [] File.foreach(classes_file) do |l| modules_array << l.chomp.gsub(/::.*/, '') end modules_array = modules_array.sort.uniq modules_array.each do |i| classes_array = [] classes_array << i File.foreach(classes_file) do |l| classes_array << l.chomp if l =~ /^#{i}/ classes_array = classes_array.sort.uniq end classes_hash[i] = classes_array end Facter.add(:puppet_modules, :timeout => 10) do confine :kernel => 'Linux' setcode do modules_array.sort.uniq.join(', ').to_s end end Facter.add(:puppet_classes, :timeout => 10) do confine :kernel => 'Linux' setcode do classes_hash.map { |_k, v| v }.sort.uniq.join(', ').to_s end end from https://www.netways.de/fileadmin/images/Events_Trainings/Events/OSMC/2015/Slides_2015/The_Road_to_lazy_Monitoring_with_Icinga2_and_Puppet-Tom_De_Vylder.pdf which gives me a hash back, instead of an array. cu denny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
