Fact2field functionality allows users to define which Breeze facts Cloudaware must convert to fields on Force.com objects. Cloudaware will try to propagate fields containing caFact_ prefix with a matching Breeze fact. For example, if you create caFact_uptimehours field, Cloudaware will try to find uptime_hours fact and use its value. SUPPORTED FOR OBJECTS: AWS EC2 Instance Fact, Azure Virtual Machine Fact, Azure VM Scale Set Instance Fact, Google GCE Instance Fact, VCenter Virtual Machine Fact, CloudAware Physical Server Fact. |
Fact names use characters that are not in [a-zA-Z0-9], so you skip them in the field name: caFact_ansible_user_id will become caFact_ansibleuserid or caFact_ansibleUserId as field names are not case-insensitive.
We recommend using any Text type for fact2field fields. Use a maximum length of 255 for Text/Text Area:

| Note |

caFact fields are not refreshed simultaneously when a field is added. To populate caFact fields, wait for any update action on the fact object OR use the instruction below. |
NB. caFact fields should be created on AWS EC2 Instance, Azure VM, Physical Server etc objects.
Mass Update Execution
Log in to your Cloudaware account. Open the main menu → Developer Console → Debug → Open Execute Anonymous Window → type the query like
...
where CA10__CaAwsInstanceFact__c is API Name of the fact object, Name is the fact attribute that needs to be updated and %upgr% - its value that will be queried. This query will populate facts containing 'upgr' in their Name field on all AWS EC2 Instances.
Query examples:
| Code Block |
|---|
Update [SELECT Id FROM CA10__CaAwsInstanceFact__c WHERE Name = 'os.release.full']; |
...
| Code Block |
|---|
Update [SELECT Id FROM CA10_CaPhysicalServerFact__c WHERE Name like '%uptime%']; |
Start with using a query without filtering applied. However, if you face Apex CPU or limit exception errors, use the LIMIT/OFFSET clauses (see examples below):
| Code Block |
|---|
Update [SELECT Id FROM CA10__CaAwsInstanceFact__c WHERE Name = domain LIMIT 1000 OFFSET 0]; |
