Yeah, though being in site.pp it also means they can differ per environment.
Here's an example:
$extlookup_datadir = "/etc/puppet/manifests/extdata"
$extlookup_precedence = ["%{fqdn}", "foo_%{foo}", "location_%{location}",
"domain_%{domain}", "country_%{country}", "common"]
so issues are:
- they are global variables puppet.conf under the environments would be great
- they have these weird %{varname} notation, I believe the need for that is
fixed in recent puppets but there was some parsing order weirdness back in the
day.
The, possibly sucky, thing is that those variables like %{foo} would be within
the context of the scope the extlookup() call is done in,
class a {
$foo = "bar"
extlookup("test")
}
class a {
$foo = "blah"
extlookup("test")
}
Isn't going to give you the same answer if you have matching data files, i dont
know if we can retain this behavior, make these settings AND get rid of the
strange variable notation.
