Puppet users - Aug 2012 - hiera scope and hiera-foreman

Hey all,

I''ve been messing around with the hiera-foreman backend to see if it
would
let me migrate to hiera and use foreman and an ENC. 
https://github.com/torrancew/hiera-foreman

It works by querying each node''s yaml file from foreman. Currently this
code works when called from the hiera command line with the -m (mcollective 
option). It uses the mcollective facts to pull the fqdn variable to know 
which node to grab the yaml for. So far so good. However, this breaks when 
you attempt to use it as a hiera backend in a puppet module, since it no 
longer has the mcollective facts, and fqdn available to it. 

So my question is, what is the recommended way of querying the current 
hostname(s) in a hiera backend for it to know what host it should lookup 
the needed yaml? 

Thanks!

Okay. I figured out my issue. 

I''m not a developer so this is probably ugly, but came up with:
        begin
          fqdn = scope.catalog.tags[4]
        rescue
          fqdn = scope[''fqdn''] if
scope.has_key?(''fqdn'')
          Hiera.debug("trying mcollective")
        end
        Hiera.debug("got fqdn #{fqdn}")

That fqdn with both:
puppet master --debug --compile FQDN
and
hiera -d -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml -m FQDN
