Jira (FACT-348) Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values
Title: Message Title Maggie Dreyer commented on FACT-348 Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values I haven't really put much thought into how to implement this yet, but it seems like the custom fact cache group/key would be something you would set in the fact itself, then use in the config file. If that group name was the same as a built-in group, all the built-in facts in that group would get cached along with the custom fact. If it was unique, only the custom fact(s) with that group would be cached.

Title: Message Title Tyler Pace commented on FACT-348 Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values Erik Dalén and I had a brief chat on Slack that I'll copy here for context. https://puppetcommunity.slack.com/archives/puppet/p1481653413001521 tyler.pace [10:23 AM] @dalen @mjolnir40k Do you have any other examples of custom facts that you would like to cache? And, how long would they be cached? dalen [10:33 AM] @tyler.pace a bunch of stuff from the `lshw` tool (that takes ~12 seconds to run on our hardware) @tyler.pace 1 day cache time seems reasonable for that @tyler.pace also some Dell Poweredge bios stuff that takes a while to read, firmware versions etc tyler.pace [10:37 AM] @dalen Would you want to add those facts to an existing cache group or perhaps be able to create your own custom cache group(s)? dalen [10:38 AM] @tyler.pace probably create our own would be best Add Comment This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029-sha1:ae256fe) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.

Jira (FACT-348) Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values
Title: Message Title Maggie Dreyer commented on FACT-348 Re: Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values There is not currently a way to do that. On some people's systems, some of the built-in facts are quite slow, and caching them was straightforward, which is why we started there. Could you describe in a little more detail what your use case is and what sort of user experience you'd like to see for caching custom facts? That would help us design a good solution.

Maggie Dreyer updated an issue
Facter / FACT-348
Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values
Change By:
Maggie Dreyer
Release Notes Summary:
This adds the ability to cache groups of facts for a specified length of time. Adding the name of a fact group along with a duration to the `ttls` section of the config file will cause Facter to only resolve that group of facts once, until the cache expires.Example:facts : { ttls : [ { "kernel" : 30 days }, { "file system" : 1 hour } ] }will cause kernel and file system facts to be cached for 30 days and 1 hour, respectively. The names of cacheable fact groups can be found using the `--list-cache-groups` command line option.The location of the cache is `/opt/puppetlabs/facter/cache/cached_facts/` on Unix and `C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\facter\cache\cached_fact\` on Windows.

Jira (FACT-348) Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values
Title: Message Title redmine.exporter created an issue Facter / FACT-348 Facter should provide a convenient way to cache values Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Eric Sorenson Created: 25/Feb/14 9:10 AM Labels: redmine Priority: Normal Reporter: redmine.exporter I think this have discussed already various times and it is even planned?!. But I couldn't find a logged ticket and as I stumpled over that problem once again I thought I might want to file a feature request: Facter should provide a way to: 1. cache facts with a certain timeout, so that the fact value gets cache for the defined time 1. provide a way to cache any kind of data for a certain amount of time Why? We might want to have facts that take some time to calculate, however that don't change much. Or there might be data required to calucate a certain fact which high resource intensive, but doesn't change often. So what I like to have is similar to the @confine@ a way to set @timeout@, so that if this is set to some seconds/minutes the fact isn't calculated again until the timeout expired. For the second point I'd like to have a simple key value store with timeout capability built into facter, so I can cache output of commands, which can then be used amongst different facts. Example: xen management tools are getting slower the more VMs you start. Hence @xm list@ can get slower and slower and if you have various facts that are depending on the output of that command and you take the naive approach and call @xm list@ a couple of times, you slowdown facter and hence
