This is a class that gives access to the configured fact provider such as MCollectives::Facts::Facter that uses Reductive Labs facter

The actual provider is pluggable and configurable using the ‘factsource’ configuration option.

To develop a new factsource simply create a class under MCollective::Facts:: and provide the following classes:

  self.get_fact(fact)
  self.has_fact?(fact)

You can also just inherit from MCollective::Facts::Base and provide just the

  self.get_facts

method that should return a hash of facts.
