Hi , once in a while I see that some of my nodes are losing some of the environments variable and considering that some of the factor are missing :
the way I am defining the facter are in /etc/profile.d/file.sh
all the defaults facters are always there , the problem is with the one that I am adding in /etc/profile.d/file.sh
any reason why ?
should I define the facter in other way ?
Do you run the puppet agent as a service? The /etc/profile.d scripts are sourced at login, not at startup so if a machine reboots, your puppet agent will "loose" the custom facts.
facter 1.7 includes the possibility to make use of facts.d (/etc/facter/facts.d/) Within facts.d you caqn add yaml, json or text files with key value list. e.g. /etc/facter/facts.d/file.txt
servertags="role:napiserverrole=true,role:zabbixagent=true" environment="qa"
you can tests your facts on the node using
facter -p
Note: yaml files must use fileending .yaml, json files must use fileending .json, text files mus use fileending .txt
file naming (ending) is important!! rename your file from facts to facts.txt And: maybe remove the quotation marks.

Could you post the exact code how you retrieve the factors from file.sh and what version of factor are you using ?
file content : cat /etc/profile.d/file.sh export FACTER_server_tags="role:napi_server_role=true,role:zabbix_agent=true" export FACTER_environment="qa" facter -v 1.7.3
