I also put a copy in the /var/lib/puppet/plugins directory. plugins is a pseudo-path, like modules, so you don't need an explicit fileserver.conf entry for it. You should take that out, and instead make a lib/facter/ directory in one of your modules (I use the one that contains most of the manifest which *uses* the fact provided by the plugin) and drop plesk_version.rb in there. Restart puppetmasterd and you should be good to go. This is the approach described in http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/plugins_in_modules.html HTH - Eric Sorenson - N37 17.255 W121 55.738 - http://twitter.com/ahpook - -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I've got the same issue, trying to distribute a custom fact. I'd like to
return the version of Plesk Panel running on the client.
So I wrote and tested a little fact:

require 'facter'
Facter.add("plesk_version") do
setcode do
%x{cat /usr/local/psa/version}.chomp
end
end
r...@test10:~/lib/ruby/facter#
facter finds this on the client and it returns what I'm looking for.
I want to put this on the server and distribute it. My puppet clients
and puppetmaster server are 0.25.4.
On the puppetmaster I edited /etc/puppet/puppet.conf:
[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginpath=$vardir/lib/facter
pluginsync=true
[puppetmasterd]
#templatedir=/var/lib/puppet/templates
factsync=true
factpath=$vardir/facts
and also fileserver.conf:
# cat /etc/puppet/fileserver.conf
[files]
path /var/lib/puppet/files
allow *
[plugins]
path /var/lib/puppet/facts
allow *
I put my fact file (plesk_version.rb) in the /var/lib/puppet/facts
directory. I also put a copy in the /var/lib/puppet/plugins directory.
On my client, I ran the puppetd with this command:
# /usr/sbin/puppetd --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime --pluginsync
I got this:
info: Retrieving plugin
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of
resource: Could not retrieve information from source(s)
puppet://xxx.x.net/plugins
notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]: Dependency
file[/var/lib/puppet/lib] has 1 failures
warning: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter]: Skipping because of failed
dependencies
This seems to have changed some in 0.25.4, and googleing around has not
helped.
May I have a pointer to the correct process?
Thanks,
Ed Greenberg

[Puppet Users] Using custom facts in Puppet
hello, I am trying to add a custum fact to my puppet module. I wrote and tested the facter script and it functions as I want it to. I am following the instructions to synchronise the facts/plugins as written in Adding_Facts and plugins_in_modules from the documentation, as in: put factscript in /etc/puppet/modules//lib/facter add these lines to puppet.conf: [main] pluginsync = true factpath = $vardir/lib/facter when I do a puppetd run on my client, where I want to use the module with my homemade fact, I see the sync taking place, but that is all I see happening. The facts i want to use in the module stay empty, undefined actually. sidenote: if in my current directory there exists a directory facter, where my factscript has been added, then, when starting puppetd -t from there, the facts are added, which would mean, that the factscript works. It just seems, that Puppet doesn't use the directory to where the script has been synced, despite the entry in puppet.conf Right now i am at a loss, since i cannot see what I'm doing wrong Does anyone have any experience with this? thanx in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
