puppet-facter-facts

a collection of facts for user with Facter and Puppet

• catalog_config_version.rb - fact for the version of the last applied catalog, taken from the "version" element (config_version) of the catalog. (PUP-1076 would render this obsolete.)

• has_netbackup.rb - simple test for whether or not (boolean) Symantec Netbackup is installed, based on presence of /usr/openv/netbackup/bin directory. Can be used to automatically trigger generation of include/exclude files.

• syslog_bin.rb - fact for the full path to the CURRENTLY RUNNING syslog daemon binary. Checks the ps output (using the ps fact) for the currently running syslog binary (assuming the name matches sys\wlog*). If the process name is not an absolute path, reads /proc/PID/exe symlink for the absolute path. Note this is only for the currently running daemon; it will work on systems with more than one syslog installed but only one running, but might pose problems if you're trying to switch to a new syslog version.

• syslog_type.rb - fact for the syslog daemon type. Requires the syslog_bin fact, and simply translates its name to a single string value. Currently, "rsyslog", "syslogd", or "unknown".

• syslog_version.rb - fact for the string version of the syslog daemon. Requires the syslog_bin fact, and currently supports syslogd/sysklogd (/sbin/syslogd) and rsyslog (/sbin/rsyslogd).

• puppet_classes_csv.rb - retrieves a list of the currently applied puppet classes from /var/lib/puppet/classes.txt, and returns them as a CSV list. This code is almost completely identical to Matthew Nicholson's at http://sjoeboo.github.com/blog/2012/07/31/updated-puppet-facts-for-puppet-classes/ except it returns CSV instead of JSON.

• python_version.rb - Facts for the paths and versions of installed Python interpreters, as well as a list of all available versions, and the best available versions. Sample output:

  python27_path => /usr/bin/python2.7
  python33_path => /usr/bin/python3.3
  python_default_bin => /usr/bin/python
  python_default_version => 3.3.5
  python_latest_path => /usr/bin/python3.3
  python_latest_version => 3.3.5
  python_usrbin_version => 3.3.5
  python_versions => ["2.7.6", "3.3.5"]
  python_versions_str => 2.7.6,3.3.5
  

• virtualenv_version.rb - Facts for the paths and versions of installed virtualenv scripts, as well as a list of all available versions and the best available versions. Sample output:

  virtualenv27_path => /usr/bin/virtualenv-2.7
  virtualenv33_path => /usr/bin/virtualenv-3.3
  virtualenv_default_bin => /usr/bin/virtualenv
  virtualenv_default_version => 1.11.4
  virtualenv_latest_path => /usr/bin/virtualenv-3.3
  virtualenv_latest_version => 1.11.4
  virtualenv_usrbin_version => 1.11.4
  virtualenv_versions => ["1.11.4"]
  virtualenv_versions_str => 1.11.4
