I''m setting up Hiera in my multi-environment puppetmaster for the first
time.
I''ve written /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml, defined the hierarchies and
created
a couple of data files with sample data in them. When queried from the
commandline, it works:
[jg4461@puppet ~]$ hiera -d -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml motd::banner
environment=netops_jg4461
DEBUG: Mon Mar 04 11:42:29 +0000 2013: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: Mon Mar 04 11:42:29 +0000 2013: Looking up motd::banner in YAML
backend
DEBUG: Mon Mar 04 11:42:29 +0000 2013: Looking for data source netops_jg4461
DEBUG: Mon Mar 04 11:42:29 +0000 2013: Found motd::banner in netops_jg4461
MOTD BANNER for NETOPS
However, when I try to reference this variable in a manifest with syntax
like this:
class motd {
file { ''motd'':
name => ''/etc/motd'',
mode => ''0644'',
owner => ''root'',
group => ''root'',
content => hiera(''motd::banner''),
}
}
It fails with this error:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Could not find data item motd::banner in any Hiera data file and
no default supplied at
/home/jg4461/PUPPETROOT/environments/common/modules/motd/manifests/init.pp:7
on node ******.bris.ac.uk
My hiera.yaml points to the right location (the puppet dev environment
is being served from my homedir on the puppetmaster but all hiera data
is stored in /etc/puppet/hiera, with the production puppet environment).
What kind of things should I be looking for here?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi, You can run the master in debug mode and it will show you where puppet is looking for the hiera files.

Hi chaps, thanks for your responses. Running puppetmaster in debug mode fixed the problem, as a side effect. I hadn''t appreciated that after editing /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml puppetmaster needs to be restarted - I thought that file would be read each time hiera grabs a variable. TL;DR: I turned it off and on again ;) Cheers, Jonathan On 05/03/13 07:34, Denmat wrote:> Hi, > > You can run the master in debug mode and it will show you where puppet is looking for the hiera files. > > Give it a whirl, > Den > > On 04/03/2013, at 22:49, Jonathan Gazeley <Jonathan.Gazeley@bristol.ac.uk> wrote: > >> I''m setting up Hiera in my multi-environment puppetmaster for the first time. >> >> I''ve written /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml, defined the hierarchies and created a couple of data files with sample data in them.
