Thank you! This is great

How would you, using the PE console, write a node-group rule that selected nodes for which the

ec2_metadata

fact exists?

I've tried

ec2_metadata != undef

,

ec2_metadata != null

,

ec2_metadata != nil

,

ec2_metadata ~ Hash

, none of which works.

the problem here is that ec2_metadata is a structured fact

and console operators don't work like that

try

ec2_metadata.hostname ~ .*

I did a count on that table, was around 1.400.000 entries

maybe, I don’t remember

@vchepkov -- I eventually settled on

ec2_metadata.hostname ~ .

. because hostname should be non-blank. Thanks for the confirmation!

I am trying to provision a new compiler but when I run

puppet infrastructure provision compiler <http://puppetcompiler-prod.com|puppetcompiler-prod.com>

on the primary server and after sometime, I get the below error. Any thoughts on this error? This is on the latest LTS version.

Errors in task facts:

Looks like one of your facts might have some sort of unicode value the fact parser doesn’t like, so it ends up breaking the plan where it’s trying to get facts from the node.

I did that. Puppet runs fine with no errors and nothing funky when I run

factor -p

You could possibly try running

puppet task run facts --nodes <http://puppetcompiler-prod.com|puppetcompiler-prod.com>

, not sure if you’ll get more info or not

multiple minutes on reports showing up for sure.. but the network latency is 80-85ms solid. throughput is substantial, so i wouldnt expect its having trouble keeping up from a network perspective.. looking at our monitoring its not sending substantial amounts of data.. there is not flat lining going on in network utilization or anything

you can configure that via hiera or in the console

He is my setup, I use three control repositories there
