03/30/2023, 5:20 PMCan you share the fact?
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:21 PMa common issue is that some environment variables are missing when stuff is executed via cron
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:22 PMThis was working until last couple of days and nothing has been changed.
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:31 PMHere is the fact. On the server, it’s being displayed. However, on the UI, it doesn’t exists
@bastelfreak
b
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:33 PMcan you share the actual code?
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:33 PMotherwise I cannot debug it 🙂
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:33 PMdoes that only happen on linux or also windows?
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:34 PMOnly on Linux. Recently, we promoted the powerbroker module where it says if pbversion is older then upgrade it.
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:41 PMHere is the fact code:
Facter.add(“pbversion”) do
confine :kernel => :linux
setcode do
if File.exist? ‘/etc/pb.cfg’
Facter:Util:Resolution.exec(‘pbrun -v 2>&1 | grep -o \’Version [0-9.-]*\’ | awk \’{print $2}\’’)
else
%x{echo absent}.chomp
end
end
end

bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:42 PMdo you have multiple environments? is it possible that the node run in a different environmnent where the fact was missing?
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:43 PMThe node is pointing to the right environment.
b
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:44 PMI'm not sure what the fact returns when
Facter::Util::Resolution.execbastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:44 PMmaybe
pbruni
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:44 PMThe fact is returning the right value on the server. However, on the UI console, the fact is missing until we run puppet manually again

03/30/2023, 5:45 PMyes
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 5:45 PMmaybe
pbruni
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 5:49 PMOne thing we changed in the fact code is the way we’re getting the version. Previously, we were using the below instead of Facter::Util.
%x{grep inst_manifest_version /etc/pb.cfg | awk -F ‘=‘ ‘{print $2}’ | tr -d “‘“}.chomp

bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 6:07 PMagain my question stands, does
pbrunbastelfreak
03/30/2023, 6:07 PMand why did you change it?
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:08 PMpbrun doesn’t require any login shell. The reason we changed is that old logic wasn’t working for the newer version.
b
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 6:08 PMthen it probably requires environment variables
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:09 PMOnce we run puppet manually, everything is BAU.
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:14 PMAlso, when I run puppet facts upload —onetime it’s uploading facts and I can see the pbversion fact on the UI.
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:17 PMAs you said, I’m suspecting issue with the pbrun. I just test the pbrun command through cron and it’s not showing me anything but when I run the same command manually, it’s showing me the version
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:24 PMFound the issue, I have to give the full path for the pbrun
b
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 6:31 PMtold you, environment variables
bastelfreak
03/30/2023, 6:31 PMthe PATH is different in your cron environment
i
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:32 PMI see the path exists in the environment variable $PATH
IlovPuppet
03/30/2023, 6:43 PMGot it. The cron path variable works differently compare to the USER path variable. 🙂
