Based on your description, I would suggest the following: Let's take tomcat as a specific example. Assumption: You have a tomcat module that can be configured with parameters.
Here is the suggestion: Add a hostname level to your heirarchy. OK, so now for node hostx.example.org, you want this to be a tomcat server. All you need do is put the appropriate parameters into hostx.example.org.yaml I am still a hiera n00b myself, so I am not totally sure exactly how to do this, but I am working on it. “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” Bill Waterson (Calvin & Hobbes) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony C" <tonyjch...@gmail.com> To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, April 8, 2013 2:43:41 PM Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Not custom facts, but variables? sure, to be specific, we have environments, dev, test, qa, stage, and prod. That part I got with your help on my last post. Thank you. Within these environments, we have applications. We only have a few apps. So let's say some machines are oracle db machines, some are tomcat, and some are apache. I have yaml files for each, oracledb.yaml, tomcat.yaml, apache.yaml. Each of these yaml files contain some key value pair that is specific to that environment. So when some machine is provisioned, I want to say this machine is a tomcat machine, and I don't care what environment it since I will let the agent conf figure that out. That way I can one puppet module for tomcat, but different values per environment. I hope that makes sense, and if my approach is completely wrong, I'm open to hear some alternatives.
