similar to: Puppet 3.0 Testing Hiera

Hi Everyone; First, is my understanding correct that all boxes with agents >3.0 will need to have hiera installed? I have gotten conflicting answers and I have found different answers in the documentation as well. Can anyone clear this up for me? And, if it is needed.. has anyone gotten it working on AIX? Thanks!

I''m looking to implement a hiera backend for our Puppet installation, as we routinely deploy systems that are of varying hardware, OS, and which may have multiple roles they fill. I''ve figured out, I think, how to handle the OS question through facter, but implementing server roles isn''t quite so clear. I want to maintain that information on the server, not on the

Hi, I''m trying to use standard hiera on puppet (gentoo). I simply did # gem install hiera Then setup /etc/hiera.yaml When i call the hiera() function in puppet i get "Error 400 on SERVER: Unknown function hiera at /data/puppet/manifests/ site.pp:27" Is there a step that I''m missing? BTW. standalone hiera works fine. -- You received this message because you

Hi Puppet Users, For some bizzare reason I am unable to use hiera-puppet with a parameterised class. The output is: ---------------------------- root@hiera hieratest/manifests# puppet apply -e "include hieratest" Error: undefined method `catalog'' for #<Hash:0xb6c53d00> at line 1 on node hiera.localdomain Wrapped exception: undefined method `catalog'' for

I just installed puppet 3 (3.0.0-0.1rc3puppetlabs1) on a 32bit Ubuntu 12.04 ''server'' VM. I used the packages for the install. I then copied over my existing modules and manifests from my production 2.7.x puppet master, and also my hiera.yaml and hieradata/*. When I run puppet agent --test I get the following: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error

Hello, Is there an easy way to test hiera lookup for a node? A node is not getting the value I expect from Hiera and I want a way to test this. I noticed that `hiera` has an option called `-i` to use the Puppet inventory service. With the latest (RC4 I believe) of Hiera I''m getting the following when I try to use that though: Puppet inventory service lookup failed: NoMethodError:

Hi, I''m trying to reconcile the advice in the Puppet 3 class doc with our current use of Hiera. We currently retrieve variables from Hiera in one big collection while the Puppet 3 doc seems to indicate storing variables without the collection. For example, we have a module to manage a log indexer. In its init.pp it says: class log_indexer( $log_indexer_conf =

Hi Everyone; Can anyone suggest any post installationtests to verify the functionality of both puppetdb (using postgres) and hiera? I am a somewhat nbew user and I am not really sure what a good, quick method is to verify the functionality pst install. If anyone could suggest steps/test cases, that would be greatly apprecaited! I also think this would be useful to include as a section in the

Hello, just upgraded Hiera from ver. 1.2.1 to 1.3.0 and broke our puppet environment. :) It seems that there are sizeable changes related to variable interpolation Here is an error during Puppet run: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error Hiera::InterpolationLoop: Detected in [::environment] at /home/ubuntu/environments/project_dev/manifests/site.pp:35 on node

Hi, if possible can someone post a working example please ? I am using hiera => puppet => augeas. cat myserver.yaml --- myserver: "Birthday": ''1'' "Debug": ''5'' The no. of settings will change, so i would like to use a hash here. The hiera lookup works already: >hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml -h myserver

Now, I am getting this .... Thanks for the help! puppet5 : Cannot validate input: Unknown validator: ''puppet_server_address''. Cannot validate input: Unknown validator: ''puppet_server_address''.puppetdev04 : Puppet command ''puppet agent --test --onetime --daemonize --color=false --no-splay

Hiera was properly working in my environment. But puppet was looking at old version even when I have the latest hiera gem installed. So I could''nt use json backend. But puppet is not looking at my latest hiera gem. Not sure when went wrong here. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0

Is it possible to have Hiera look at a key set for the node first, before looking at other items in the hierarchy? In particular - I''m using Puppet Dashboard and am setting keys & params for there, so I would like for any value set there for a node to be used over another item in the hiera hierachy. What value would I have to specify in the hierarchy for this, if it is possible?

I''m running Puppet v2.7.14. I have a puppet master server with Hiera and it works great. I also want to be able to apply my manifests locally on a node. I have installed Hiera on my node and I can verify using the Hiera command line application that values can be looked up: user@tag5-4-qa-sjc:~$ hiera corp_puppet_server region=northamerica datacenter=sjc environment=qa --debug DEBUG:

We have embraced Hiera; we use the YAML configuration system currently and on the whole everyone finds it easy to use and intuitive. However, as our manifests have grown more complex, we have a need to "compile" multiple narrowly-focused classes together into different types of high-level roles. For example, we might have a "webmail" class that pulls together classes for

Hi, If I have understood it correctly, puppet 3.0.0 will include / require hiera. In order to add support for hiera directly in Geppetto I downloaded the puppet 3.0.0rc tarball expecting to find the puppet-hiera functions, but they where not there. What is the expected packaging going to be when 3.0.0 is released? Where should I expect the hiera "parser functions" to be located?
