Re: [Puppet Users] Nested hiera lookup

[Martin Alfke]

Hi Helmut,

This is not working!
Within hiera you can use alias or lookup to receive other hiera data values.
But you can not combine a lookup with string.

Hth,

[Puppet Users] Nested hiera lookup

[Helmut Schneider]

Hi,

common.yaml:
---
lookup_options:
  paths:
merge:
  strategy:  'deep'
  knockout_prefix:   '--'
  variables:
merge:
  strategy:  'deep'
  knockout_prefix:   '--'
paths:
  logfilePath: '/var/log'
[...]

another.yaml:
lookup_options:
  paths:
merge:
  strategy:  'deep'
  knockout_prefix:   '--'
  variables:
merge:
  strategy:  'deep'
  knockout_prefix:   '--'
variables:
  logFile:  "%{lookup('paths.logfilePath')}/logfile.log"
[...]

Notice: /var/log
Notice: 
/Stage[main]/My_puppet/Logrotate::Include[my_puppet]/Notify[paths 
my_puppet:]/message: defined 'message' as '/var/log'

Notice: /logfile.log
Notice: 
/Stage[main]/My_puppet/Logrotate::Include[my_puppet]/Notify[variables 
my_puppet:]/message: defined 'message' as '/openvpn.log'


Should that work?

helmut@h2873756:~$ puppet -V
7.14.0
helmut@h2873756:~$

Thank you!
