Puppet custom facter

In my lab, I added a custom facter ‘environment’, which tells me the box is in either development or production.

Here are the steps

1) Create a new module and associated file: /etc/puppet/modules/mylab/lib/facter/environment.rb

2) Add the ruby code:

# Add puppet facter environment

Facter.add(“environment”) do
setcode do
result = case Facter.hostname
when /^dev/: “development”
else “production”
end
result
end
end
