  • v
    it's an internal variable
  • c
    puppet_settings absolutely is a fact
  • c
    it’s in <moduledir>/lib/facter/puppet_settings.rb
  • j
    puppet_settings
    is from simplib, not stdlib
  • v
    no, it has 3 other facts
  • v
    yep, I see it, never used it

    right, no puppet_settings fact there
  • t
    Yup... simplib drags them all in because they're all useful when you're managing puppet with puppet
  • v
    I personally don't think that fact is useful. your code should dictate the settings, not other way around
  • c
    Now on this we can agree.

    @CVQuesty what did I do now?!
  • c
    But I totally have that fact. It’s empty, but I have it and it responds when I call it with “facter” and I don’t have simp_puppet_settings either

    Your file gets mighty big when you have to figure out which nodes are servers and agents dynamically

    I mean, I guess you could add tags to DNS and read from there but....hrm
  • c
    Trevor must have a “simp” notification bot
  • t
    Perchance....
  • c
    hehe… just type “simp” and here he comes.
  • c
    simp
  • c
    simp

    adding server section to puppet.conf doesn't make puppet a server 🙂
  • t
    Oh, and it lets you hook up your puppetdb to your certs properly without having to mess with things 😄
  • t
    Having to rebootstrap all your nodes when your certs change is no fun, let puppet do it for you!
  • c
    Does it alert when I type “simple”?
  • c
    😄
