Here's a question: why do you need or want this as a fact? The values you
are computing are completely derivative of existing facts, so there is
little or no advantage to computing them on the client. I would recommend
you compute them on the master instead. You can make them ordinary
top-scope variables, or -- my preference -- make them class variables.
*As a top-scope variable:*
environments/production/00globals.pp
----
$datacenter = $ipaddress ? {
/^10\.220\. => 'HOUSTON',
/^10\.221\. => 'AUSTIN'
}
... (anywhere) ...
notice("${::datacenter} data center")
*As a class variable:*
modules/site/manifests/init.pp
----
class site {
$datacenter = $ipaddress ? {
/^10\.220\. => 'HOUSTON',
/^10\.221\. => 'AUSTIN'
}
}
... (elsewhere) ...
include 'site'
notice("${::site::datacenter} data center")
