I'm not noticing the problem, but maybe it would help to see some other code. I just uploaded my mounts module to github. It has one place that uses a function from Example42, but that can be replaced with a normal hiera call.
https://github.com/snemetz/Puppet_mounts I have a few modules that use this method, but I need time to document and clean them up a bit, before releasing them. Mounts is one of the simpler ones.

You are right. It is unnecessary using create_resource to query yaml parameters. It can be done directly as following: $sshd_hash = hiera(os_users)$server_ssh_keys = $sshd_hash[$username][ssh_keys][key] format of my os_users yaml file was not correct, that is why it failed me. Btw, there is no keys function in puppet.

I would like to see how you did it. On Feb 3, 2013, at 6:46 PM, roadtest wrote: I figure out the solution. Using the create_resource to convert YAML to a hash array, then I can query retrieve every individual value.
