Hiera + Puppet classes
- by Amadan
I'm trying to figure out Puppet (3.0) and how it relates to built-in Hiera. So this is what I tried, an extremely simple example (I'll make a more complex hierarchy when I manage to get the simple one working):
# /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml
:backends:
- yaml
:hierarchy:
- common
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata
# /etc/puppet/hieradata/common.yaml
test::param: value
# /etc/puppet/modules/test/manifests/init.pp
class test ($param) { notice($param) }
# /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
include test
If I directly apply it, it's fine:
$ puppet apply /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
Scope(Class[Test]): value
If I go through puppet master, it's not fine:
$ puppet agent --test
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Must pass param to Class[Test] at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:1 on node <nodename>
What am I missing?
EDIT:
I just left the office but a thought struck me: I should probably restart puppet master so it can see the new hiera.conf. I'll try that on Monday; in the meantime, if anyone figures out some not-it problem, I'd appreciate it :)
