Hi Pablo, Thanks for the response.
I've tried setting the environment in the master section, the agent section, the main section. Regardless of whether I set the environment anywhere in the masters puppet.conf, it always looks for the hiera.yaml file in the production directory. I was hoping that it would derive the hiera.yaml path dynamically from the clients' environment when it checks in, but this seems not to be the case.
