Answered 2021-Feb-02 at 17:18

If a fact resolution attempts to obtain the Facter.value() for another fact that has not yet been loaded then Facter will immediately attempt to load the needed fact. That means that

No, fact files are not necessarily loaded in alphabetical order, but
you nevertheless should not need to worry about fact loading order.

You do need to avoid creating dependency loops among facts, but custom facts relying on built-in facts will never cause such a loop.

Asked 2020-May-28 at 23:48

I have a custom fact in ruby that uses Facter::Core::Execution.execute to execute a system command and sets the fact to true or false based on the output of the execute command. Is there a way I could mock the output of the execute command to test it?

puppet agent -t does not output anything to stdout

Asked 2020-May-05 at 08:38

I updated the server and the agent to version 4.8 → 5.5 and now I have no output to the console, only to the logs.

But puppet apply works perfectly.

Maybe someone knows how can I get output again?

ANSWER

Answered 2020-May-05 at 08:38

puppet agent isn't displaying messages to the console because the logdest configuration setting in puppet.conf has told it to send logs to a file.

https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html#logdest

If you want messages to always go to the console, remove the logdest variable from puppet.conf. If you just want to display messages temporarily, you can use the --logdest option to puppet agent.

Ansible playbook. Always quote template expression brackets when hey contain a value

Asked 2019-Aug-15 at 06:23

I am getting error running this ansible playbook. It simply tries to load from ansible facts, an attribute (the size) of a specific mount by looking in mount_points within ansible facts. (i) My variable expression is quoted wrongly somehow, have tried a few permutations of brackets and quotes. (ii) Once I take care of fixing the quoting, would the underlying command actually find the and extract the required fact attribute into my variable mountsize?

ANSWER

Answered 2019-Aug-15 at 06:23

There are a number of issues with your code, including your use of braces ({{ }}), the way you are referencing ansible_facts, and the way you are attempting to assign a value to the mountsize variable

Ansible logging

Asked 2019-Jul-10 at 10:16

I am having difficulty getting Ansible to perform logging. A simple YAML named demo5.yml spins up AWS EC2 instances (below). The following entry has been added into the ansible.cfg file: log_pth=/var/log/ansible.log

The playbook YAML is executed by calling: ansible-playbook demo5.yml -v

There is nothing in the ansible.log after execution.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Answered 2017-Jul-04 at 15:21

The parameter name is log_path, not log_pth.
