. Collect and display facts about the current system\. The library behind Facter is easy to expand, making Facter an easy way to collect information about a system from within the shell or within Ruby\. .

If no facts are specifically asked for, then all facts will be returned\. .

Display all facts: . .

$ facter
architecture => amd64
blockdevices => sda,sr0
domain => example\.com
fqdn => puppet\.example\.com
hardwaremodel => x86_64
[\.\.\.]
.

. .

Display a single fact: .

.

$ facter kernel
Linux
.

. .

Format facts as JSON: .

.

$ facter --json architecture kernel hardwaremodel
{
 "architecture": "amd64",
 "kernel": "Linux",
 "hardwaremodel": "x86_64"
}
