Override facter fact value or define a new one.

Description

This module allows you to override an errant fact value or setup a new fact.

Warning:

• for defining mass amount of facts better look at puppet-stdlib module
• use FACTER_name environment variables in /etc/environment file - not suitable for more than few facts
• may require puppet/puppetmaster restart (it has to reload environment variables)
• TODO: on facter 2.x do use /etc/facter.d/ directory instead of environment variables

Parameters

• [ensure] - present|absent
• [value] - fact value

Usage

# Do use vlan 500 address as main host IP
fact_override {
  'ipaddress': value => $::ipaddress_eth0_500;
}
