I wrote some code to do that - a little "fact server" that outputted
facts as JSON and allowed SNMP qu
I was just thinking that if you are looking for a fact that changes,
then you just write a script for nagios (or whatever your monitoring
system is) that can check for fact changes. You'll have to have some
sort of baseline that it is checking against and then the script would
run facter and check

I'd rather have the monitoring solution collect incoming facts that are
already coming to a central location rather than reaching out to the nodes.
I suppose a cronjob on the nodes could run facter, but still it seems
redundant since Facter gets executed along with each Puppet run. Also, I
plan
Wouldn't having your monitoring tool watch the output of `facter
` on the nodes that are being monitored achieve what you are
looking for? That seems like it would be a pretty straightforward and
uncomplicated way of doing this.

Hello,
I'd like to know the best way to collect new/incoming Fact values for a
node and compare it to old/previous values (i.e. from a node making a
puppet run). My thinking is that the new values need to be intercepted
before they are stuffed into PuppetDB (or
/var/lib/puppet/yaml/facts/.yaml
