Can I Access Environment Variables With Facter? |
|
Answer» Not DIRECTLY. However, Facter reads in custom facts from a special subset of environment VARIABLES. Any environment variable with a prefix of FACTER_ will be converted into a fact when Facter runs. For example: The value of the FACTER_FOO environment variable would now be available in your Puppet manifests as $FOO, and would have a value of ‘bar’. Using shell SCRIPTING to export an arbitrary subset of environment variables as facts is left as an exercise for the reader. Not directly.
