5.3.1. HOWTO Block or Cache Facts¶
As described in Configuring Facter with facter.conf, you can block or cache
groups of facts on a node using settings in facter.conf
on that node. SIMP
has made this easier by adding management of facter.conf
to simp/pupmod
(version >= ‘8.0.0’). Using this module, you can
manage facter.conf
and specify its configuration in Hiera.
Here is example Hiera that blocks and caches select groups of facts:
---
pupmod::manage_facter_conf: true
pupmod::facter_options:
facts:
blocklist:
- EC2
ttls:
- kernel: "8 hours"
- memory: "8 hours"
- operating system: "8 hours"
- processor: "8 hours"
