OK. Consider: ------ http://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/1.6/core_facts.html#summary Facts appear in Puppet as normal top-scope variables ------
------ http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/configuring.html#format Each top-level key in the hash must be a Ruby symbol with a colon (:) prefix. The available settings are listed below, under “Global Settings” and “Backend-Specific Settings”. Example Config File --- :backends: - yaml - json :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :json: :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata :hierarchy: - %{::clientcert} - %{::custom_location} - common ------ Based on those two factoids, I would suggest trying the following in your hiera.yaml: :hierarchy: - %{::operatingsystem} - common All the examples here http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/hierarchy.html have the double-colon notation Also, just to be thorough, what does "facter -p operatingsystem" return ?
