Puppet missing Facter environment variables -


Any environment variable prefixed with "FACTER_" is automatically added to the Factor collection. I have successfully added the "FACTER_" environmental variable which is actually appearing in the fact-p list, hence it can be used by the puppet ...

The problem, though, is in my mine. PP variable name that must be set to FACTER_ value is empty (or non existent)

Do I need to get FACTER_ variable in some puppet variables?

Cheers

You are likely to set up the system so that The difference is available in interactive shells in FACTER_ . If you want your background agent not to respect them then this is not sensible.

I can see two direct approaches:

  1. Modify your encryption or its configuration to set the appropriate environment variable.
  2. Repeat the view completely and instead use /etc/fact/facts.d .

I will advise on the latter.
