Hi,

If you have Foreman configured as an ENC, the location parameter will be available to Hiera as a fact. e.g. In the master section of puppet.conf, you'll have something like (node.rb comes from Foreman):

external_nodes = /etc/puppet/node.rb

Then in hiera.yaml you can reference the location fact with #{::location}. Parameters such as location are passed to puppet from an ENC through the hash structure described at https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html#enc-output-format

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Just wondering, I do have now a locations configured on my Foreman (:locations_enabled: true), how can I access this data? For example if I have a Facter variable named $location or $os_version so I can use it on mypuppet scripts. How can I use Foreman locations variable?
Hope I made myself clear :)


Thanks,

EddieM

        You need to create a hiera.yaml config file.
        The config file may look like this:

        :backends:
           - yaml
        :yaml:
           :datadir: ‘/etc/puppet/data’
        :hierachy:
           - “nodes/#{::certname}”
           - “location/#{::timezone}”
           - global


        Further to Martin's comment, you may be interested to know
        that the Foreman location and environment are available to
        Hiera, so you might prefer to use those rather than the
        timezone fact. E.g.

        :backends:
           - yaml
        :yaml:
           :datadir: ‘/etc/puppet/data’
        :hierachy:
           - “nodes/#{::certname}”
           - “location/#{::location}”
           - global
