similar to: The Future - ENCs vs Hiera?

I''m in the process of rolling out a new homegrown ENC (we''ve decided on using an ENC over hiera; I know it''s not the way a lot of you are going, but it''s right for us) and am running into some issues with variable interpolation in ENC data. To give a concrete example, I''m using modules to configure puppetdb, puppet master, and puppet clients. So,

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

This is the situation I have: All my hosts are the* same OS.* All my host are in the* same puppet environment,* so I cannot use %{environment} I have a module that sets all the *basic* functionality for the OS, resolution, authentication, security, packages, etc I have a module for each application hosted. At the moment all the ''data'' is in Puppet, mostly in parametrised

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

Morning All I''m trying to use Hiera with Puppet 3.0 to streamline some of my module configuration... However I''m having issues using the ''*%{::clientcert}*'' variable as part of the hierarchy... Currently, my *hiera.yaml* file looks like: --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

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, In my environment, we heavily rely on Hiera to parametrize our modules. Like the Puppet code, I would like to version-control the Hiera .yaml files. However committing passwords in plain text to GitHub seems really odd. So I would like to make you aware of one of my side-projects called Raziel. https://github.com/jbraeuer/raziel/ http://bit.ly/raziel-slides While there is one

I want in the future HIERA-2 to create a file like classes.txt, which clearly would have seen the use of the configuration on the node.

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

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

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

hello, Till now hiera-puppet was the only way I know that allowed hiera data to be loaded from inside a module. The problem with this was that it was still subject to the site specific hierarchy which means a module author had a pretty hard time to store his data in a proper way in his module thus perpetuating the use of the params classes pattern. Now that Puppet 3 is out and it''s gem

All, I have found very few references to this error so I''m guessing I must be doing something wrong. I have just started using hiera and am trying to use it in the simplest way possible, I have a class that looks like this: class app_users2($compresslogs = hiera(''compresslogs'')) {

Hi all, I''m trying to work with hiera database in puppet and i''m having problems using %{variables} because they don''t get the values and i don''t know why. file hiera.yaml: cat hiera.yaml --- :backends: - yaml - puppet :hierarchy:- nodes/%{domain}/%{hostname} - os/%{operatingsystem}/%{operatingsystemrelease} -

Hi, I'm trying to store some encrypted values in hiera, using either hiera-eyaml or hiera-eyaml-gpg. While hiera-eyaml (PKCS7 encryption) works fine, the agent gives the following error message when using hiera-eyaml-gpg: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Error from DataBinding 'hiera' while looking up 'the_secret_field': can't convert

Hi, I''ve just run into a small glitch with Hiera. I have a YAML file that has a definition like this: puppet_agent_splay: false but the run fails because of "err: Could not find data item puppet_agent_splay in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /puppet/modules/puppet/manifests/agent/config.pp:6 on node slave1.local" Digging into this it turns out that lookup in

Hi, Before I begin, my environment consists of a standard master/client config with the exception that all my clients run under a non-root user. I have to use non-root so I can''t simply restart under root to fix the problem. Master -> 3.1.1 Client -> 2.7.17 using mostly the hiera() function in my classes. problem: I have run into an issue today where my custom fact is not
