Hum, crash trying to get facts for hypervisors… if you don't care about this it seems it's blockable (

facter --list-block-groups

)

https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/main/lib/facter/facts/windows/hypervisors/hyperv.rb#L19 no manufacturer found, so can't check if it include microsoft… This include is weird, do they expect an array of manufacturers? 😲

see

blocklist

in https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/configuring_facter.html Might help

I am curious if we can get more DMI info from windows: on linux I have e.g. the BIOS version but windows has limited info compared with it.

I am so inept in windows it takes me forever create facter.conf , so you need to guide me for that. what is dmidecode there?

dmi linux vs windows

dmi linux vs windows

Never tried but let's follow the doc:

facts: { blocklist: ["hypervisors"] }

in

C:\ProgramData\PuppetLabs\facter\etc\facter.conf

?

no I got that part 🙂

I was talking about DMI

Ah, it's was just a question for me to myself 🙂

Seing things related to dmi… I though it was not available on windows

is a noob in windows too

blocking hypervisors helped to cure the error

🎉 and no patching of the Enterprise code 😛

cfacter still lies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, but you can switch to facterng ? 😁

yep, thank you for your help

It is supposed to be a drop-in replacement, so I would not expect too much trouble… but there is only one way to be sure… 🙂

Anybody know why I can't resolve basic facts on my puppetmaster? I'm getting the following when trying to access $facts['os']['family'] Evaluation Error: Operator '[]' is not applicable to an Undef value in blah/redis/manifests/params.pp

are you sure it's from that fact?

it doesn't show a line there, is it?

yep, I just truncated the message. It's line 4 column 8

hmm, then check what do you get by

facter os

facter os gives the full gamut of information I'd expect

yet another weirdness

however when I run puppet facts show os doesn't give me any of the operating system info

lovely, I was about to suggest

puppet apply -e 'notice($facts[os])'
