A tiny ruby rack application which exposes the data from facter as JSON over HTTP. gem install web-facter Provides a simple command line tool which runs a built in web server. On accessing the specified port you should get a JSON response containing the current facts. web-facter --help Usage: web-facter [options] ... Configuration options: --no-daemonize Don't daemonize the web server process -p, --port PORT The port to run web-facter on -c, --config FILE The file to load with configuration options -h, --help Display this screenp You can configure web-facter using a configuration file, using the following format, and specifying the filename with the --config option above. username=gilbert password=george port=3009 daemonize=true filters="ec2_public_keys_0_openssh_key, ec2_userdata, sshdsakey, sshrsakey" Note that the port and daemonize options will override those on the command line. The username and password options enable HTTP basic authentication using details specified. The filters option will remove sensitive items from the output, you can specify any keys you like and they'll be remove automatically.
