Re: [Puppet Users] Hiera and hiera-gpg
I just started a big reply to your last email and it looks like you've figured most of it out. At least your not still thinking manifests your problem is in hiera.yaml ;-) On Tuesday, September 3, 2013 5:04:19 PM UTC+1, Worker Bee wrote: I am pretty sure I still have something wrong with my set up but, I just cannot seem to see what it is...

What is %{env}? Did you copy it straight from Craig's blog or do you actually use it in your Hierarchy? From the way you've got your Hierarchy specified now, if I ran a find across your hieradata directory, this is what I'd expect to find: /etc/puppet/hieradata/some_env/some_location/some_calling_module.yaml /etc/puppet/hieradata/some_env/some_location/some_calling_module.gpg /etc/puppet/hieradata/some_env/some_calling_module.yaml /etc/puppet/hieradata/some_env/some_calling_module.gpg /etc/puppet/hieradata/common.yaml /etc/puppet/hieradata/common.gpg The hierarchy you've got must match the path of the Hiera data files in that directory. When run from the command line, the %{env}, %{location} and %{calling_module} variables are passed on the command line. When the hiera function call is made during a Puppet catalog compilation then those variables must be defined for that node ($env, $location, but $calling_module is implicit), either as Facter Facts or as normal variables in a Puppet manifest. ...

Re: [Puppet Users] Hiera and hiera-gpg
... That's not explained very well but I can't think of a better way to phrase it yet. Does that help so far? Perhaps I can show you what I mean. Run these commands and look at the debug output in what files Hiera is trying to open, see how it's interpreting each variable you add on the command line as new sub directories of your hieradata directory, based on how you use the %{env} %{location} and %{calling_module} variables in hiera.yaml. hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml rootpwd calling_module=motd --debug hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml rootpwd calling_module=motd env=live --debug hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml rootpwd calling_module=motd env=live location=woofwoof --debug Once you understand that, you've got to get those variables into your Puppet manifest before the hiera() function call. This is a very very very bad example, but it shows how you need to have those variables present in the manifest for Hiera to use them in a lookup: class motd { $env = 'live' #$calling_module --- should be an automatic variable given to you by Puppet's hiera() function call $location = '' rootpwd = hiera('rootpwd') } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
