Dom, Sorry about resurrecting the old thread. About facts:  `facter -p`
(2.4.6) shows puppet facts, but not the ones loaded via puppet modules in
/var/lib/puppet/facts.d (unless --external-dir is specified). For that
reason, perhaps, we started putting ours in /etc/facter.

If you're replying to a five year old thread(!), some context would be
handy. For reference:
https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/plugins_in_modules.html

Yes, in the agent's libdir, under augeas/lenses/.

Yes. The agent directory is specified as an include directory to Augeas,
which always has precedence over Augeas' default directories.

Custom facts from Puppet are read only when the additional agent
directory is included (i.e. with Facter's -p flag). Lenses work in a
very similar way - they are not installed globally.

Hi Dom,

The puppet documentation you references is just slight on details (well, 
that could be said about lots of projects these days). 
Does puppet put such lenses in its own directory? Does puppet ensure such 
lenses override the "default" ones mentioned in the augtool page? All that 
is mentioned is "Facts and Augeas lenses are used solely by Puppet agent." 
 But that's not really true of facts, as their visibility, once installed, 
are global.

You can deploy them as file resources or packages (as Ian suggested)
into /usr/share/augeas/lenses, which takes precedence over the dist
subdirectory.

If you are using 2.7.18 or higher, you can also pluginsync lenses in the
same way as facts etc.  This should take precedence over dist lenses
too.  Store the lens at:

  modulename/lib/augeas/lenses/custom.aug

I build an rpm which installs custom lenses in /usr/share/augeas/lenses

It would be nicer to put them in /usr/share/augeas/lenses/local but
that doesn't work (or didn't the last time I tried).
