Do you mean using the --debug flag on a puppet agent run?
I tried that and it didn't tell me anything useful.
I also switched to getting the vars with a hiera('class::variable') call
and all that told me was
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Could not find data item nrpe::params::nagios_ips in any Hiera data file
and no default supplied at
/usr/local/puppet/environments/development/modules/nrpe/manifests/params.pp:10
on node test.example.com
It doesn't tell me which hiera data files it it searching either which
doesn't help at all.
If I move the variable into my common.yaml file it works perfectly.
I don't have the time to dredge through ruby code to find out whats going
on.
I still haven't learnt ruby so it would take me longer to work it out.
