[Puppet Users] Hiera and precedence

2019-01-17 Thread Peter Berghold
I'm having a revertment to my noob days with respect to how hiera works.
(Version 3 for now)

If I have the hierarchy of

- common
- nodes/"%{fqdn}"
- datacenter/"%{fdatacenter}"

if in common.yaml I have "module::parms::server: server1" and in
nodes/myclient.yaml I have "module::parms::server: server2" and in
datacenter/NYCA.yaml (and the host presents NYCA as its datacenter) I have
"module::parms::server: server3" which value will be presented for host
myclient?

I could have sworn I read the lower down the list of hierarchy a value was
it would override the one above it. I just read this morning that hiera
stops at the first value it finds which is a bit of a problem for what I'm
trying to accomplish.
