Hiera datatypes wont load in Puppet
- by Cole Shores
I have spent a couple of days on this, followed the instructions on http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/docs/puppetmanual.pdf and even the Puppet Training Advanced Puppet manual.
When I run a test against it, the results always come back as 'nil' and Im not sure why. I am running Puppet 3.6.1 Community Edition, with Hiera 1.2.1 on SLES 11.
My puppet.conf file at /etc/puppet/puppet.conf consists of:
[main]
# The Puppet log directory.
# The default value is '$vardir/log'.
logdir = /var/log/puppet
# Where Puppet PID files are kept.
# The default value is '$vardir/run'.
rundir = /var/run/puppet
# Where SSL certificates are kept.
# The default value is '$confdir/ssl'.
ssldir = $vardir/ssl
certificate_revocation = false
[master]
hiera_config=/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
reporturl = http://puppet2.vvmedia.com/reports/upload
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
# certname = dev-puppetmaster2.vvmedia.com
# ca_name = 'dev-puppetmaster2.vvmedia.com'
# facts_terminus = rest
# inventory_server = localhost
# ca = false
[agent]
# The file in which puppetd stores a list of the classes
# associated with the retrieved configuratiion. Can be loaded in
# the separate ``puppet`` executable using the ``--loadclasses``
# option.
# The default value is '$confdir/classes.txt'.
classfile = $vardir/classes.txt
# Where puppetd caches the local configuration. An
# extension indicating the cache format is added automatically.
# The default value is '$confdir/localconfig'.
localconfig = $vardir/localconfig
my /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml consists of:
:backends: yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata
:hierarchy:
- common
- database
I have a directory created in /etc/puppet/hieradata and within it contains:
/etc/puppet/hieradata/common.yaml
:nameserver: ["dnsserverfoo1", "dnsserverfoo2"]
:smtp_server: relay.internalfoo.com
:syslog_server: syslogfoo.com
:logstash_shipper: logstashfoo.com
:syslog_backup_nfs: nfsfoo:/vol/logs
:auth_method: ldap
:manage_root: true
and /etc/puppet/hieradata/database.yaml
:enable_graphital: true
:mysql_server_package: MySQL-server
:mysql_client_package: MySQL-client
:allowed_groups_login: extranet_users
does anyone have any idea what could be causing Hiera to not load the requested values? I have tried even restarting the Master.
Thanks in advance,
Cole
