Hi,
You shouldn't be trying with a variable. Here's what you should
probably be doing instead :
/etc/puppet/modules/sensor/manifests/listner.pp
define sensor::listner ( $config = 'this is the generic default' ) {
notify { $config : }
}
/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
Sensor::Listener { config => 'asdf' }
node 'dev' {
sensor::listner {"test_sensor":}
}
This would show 'asdf' for all of your nodes, since the default would
be set inside site.pp, thus inherited globally.
