Trying to explain a little bit more, here is the flow of a puppet run on a node :

On the node : agent starts - gathers all the facts. ( facter -p if you want to see what is gathered)
Node sends it to the puppet master
Puppet masters compiles the catalog, using those facte, and looking up all classes assigned to that node. It is here hiera comes in action.
Compiled catalog is send to the Node
Node executes the catalog, and sends a report back to the puppet master

I hope you see now why hiera and facts dont work together

Again: You *cannot* get hiera values into facter, nor would that be
particularly useful (at least from the master's perspective).

Thanks for your response, I'd tried adding that to the global scope
(confirmed with a notify), but this doesn't seem to be passed to the
custom facts, as these seem to be processed before hand?

So with

Facter.add("cluster_name") do
   setcode do
     $clustername
   end
end

I get :-

# facter --debug -p
value for cluster_name is still nil
