I was made aware that it was not easy to play with facts for newcomers. I added a quick command to pdbquery that works like this :
1
| pdbquery -t test -l /tmp/test.yaml addfacts test.site.com
|
This should create the file /tmp/test.yaml containing the following facts :
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17

You can then edit this file to add/remove/alter facts as you want. You can then use them in the following way:
1
| puppetresources -p . -o test.site.com --pdbfile /tmp/test.yaml
|
This only works properly in HEAD right now, and will be fixed in 0.10.3, because of this Yaml bug that just got worked around today.
