Hi Cyrille,

Yes, the inventory agent (FusionInventory) will pick up environment
variables that are in the context that CFEngine runs in. This means you
must make sure the "export MYVAR=hello" command is run before cf-execd
is launched (from the rudder-agent init script), ie in /etc/profile or
in the init script itself.

Also, note that the inventory is only run once a day, in the night. So
you must either wait one day, or force an inventory run on the node to
test (see
http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-doc-2.6/rudder-doc.html#_inventory).

Then, you can see the value of this variable in the node details pane,
under the "Environment variables" tab.
