I will take a exemple, we got a wifi appliance. Of course we cannot run anything on that appliance. Through some API we can extract the list of our wifi AP. Let's say I want to make icinga2 do the monitoring of those AP. Where I put the list of those AP ? (because the icinga2 configuration are manage at 100% by puppet) I can't put them inside a file inside hiera because the whole directory are under git. I would like rather not to put them inside /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/ because for me that's against one of the philosophy of puppet which are the location of all information are well known and no information are spread on specific node. So that's why I ask for something like consul. > Have you read much about Hiera hierarchies? https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/ > latest/hiera_quick.html Yes we use it a lot, and work just fine for node information, we use them for OS type, virtual/different kind of virtual/baremetal, location, etc...
