I am still confuzzled by your "application" Would you provide a more specific example ? I am thinking that this is something that can be controlled at the module level

After reading several posts, it looks like setting a key on every host, and supplying a different value based on that host's function is not a proper use of facts, but more for variables. We are using hiera, and based on my hierarchy, :hierarchy: - common - %{application} :yaml: :datadir: /etc/puppetlabs/hieradata/%{environment} Without using an ENC, what's are some good ways to "tag" the server with a value for %{application}. thanks so much, Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
