Facter + Puppet: Writing custom facts to manage Plesk servers
Posted in sysadmin on September 25th, 2009 by Pedro Padron – Be the first to commentWhat I’ll describe here is the process of writing some custom facts to retrieve useful information from Parallels Plesk servers, so that you can use them in your Puppet recipes.
For those of you who don’t know what Facter is, I’ll quote the manufacturer’s description:
Reductive’s analysis tool for reporting system configuration and status, used to parametrize Puppet configurations
If you don’t know what Puppet is all about also, check it out right now or this article won’t make sense to you.
