Match structured facts in mcollective
If you are using Facter 2+, which is what you do when you run at least Puppet4, then you have structured facts (meaning nested values) like those:
processors => { count => 2, isa => "unknown", models => [ "QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.1.2", "QEMU Virtual CPU version 2.1.2" ], physicalcount => 2 }Now you cannot match those using
mco find -F <fact name>=<fact value>If you try you just get an empty result. The only way to match structured facts is using -S
mco find -S 'fact("<fact name>").value=<value>'For example:
mco find -S 'fact("networking.network").value=192.168.5.0' mco find -S 'fact("os.distro.codename").value=jessie'See also Mcollective Cheat Sheet
