Okay I have progressed further with the help of the blog
my hiera.yaml looks like this
---
:backends:
- yaml
# Hierarchy
# First takes precedence ??? I think
:hierarchy:
# node specific
- "nodes/%{::trusted.certname}"
# OS specific
#- "environment/%{server_facts.environment}"
- "%{::osfamily}"
# common to all
- common
:yaml:
# datadir is empty here, so hiera uses its defaults:
# - /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/%{environment}/hieradata on *nix
# - %CommonAppData%\PuppetLabs\code\environments\%{environment}\hieradata
on Windows
# When specifying a datadir, make sure the directory exists.
:datadir:
# https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.1/configuring.html
:merge_behavior: deeper
i have <modulepath>/
hieradata/
hieradata/common.yaml
hieradata/RedHat.yaml
and in my sites.pp
# include hiera data
hiera_include(classes)
i do this found this nice tool to help with hiera
hiera -d classes ::osfamily=RedHat environment=production
I get
DEBUG: 2016-07-02 15:53:37 +1000: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: 2016-07-02 15:53:37 +1000: Looking up classes in YAML backend
DEBUG: 2016-07-02 15:53:37 +1000: Looking for data source RedHat
DEBUG: 2016-07-02 15:53:37 +1000: Found classes in RedHat
["profile::ybsshd"]
it doesn't go past RedHat.
if I remove the redhat.yaml file it will give me the common.yaml response.
I want hat is documented here
https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.1/lookup_types.html
i have the gem module installed
deep_merge
I have checked this out , but don't think it covers it.
