Facter: Core Facts
NOTE: This page was generated from the Puppet source code on 2022-02-07 10:06:14 -0800
This is a list of all of the built-in facts that ship with Facter, which includes both legacy facts and newer structured facts.
Not all of them apply to every system, and your site might also use custom facts delivered via Puppet modules. To see the full list of structured facts and values on a given system (including plugin facts), run puppet facts
at the command line. If you are using Puppet Enterprise, you can view all of the facts for any node on the node's page in the console.
You can access facts in your Puppet manifests as $facts[fact_name]
. For more information, see the Puppet docs on facts and built-in variables.
Legacy Facts Note: As of Facter 3, legacy facts such as
architecture
are hidden by default to reduce noise in Facter's default command-line output. These older facts are now part of more useful structured facts; for example,architecture
is now part of theos
fact and accessible asos.architecture
. You can still use these legacy facts in Puppet manifests ($architecture
), request them on the command line (facter architecture
), and view them alongside structured facts (facter --show-legacy
). Legacy facts are excluded by default.
