That, along with -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml, helped debug some syntax errors. but that was not the problem. THE PROBLEM was... puppetmaster was started with /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml not existing. Apparently, it only reads it at startup. So, as soon as I restarted it for debug purposes... it started working as I expected it to. Lol?

First off, check Puppet's hiera_config setting

nope, nothing.
I tried your suggestion of explicitly setting it.
It gets ignored.
Would be real nice if there was some way to strace the puppetmaster
demon doing its thing for a client!
Next, double-check the syntax of your hiera.yaml file.
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/configuring.html) Are you forgetting the
leading colon on :hierarchy:?
Here it is --
#
# Apparently, this file is NOT CHECKED

:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata
:hierarchy:
- %{hostname}

Also you can use the hiera command-line utility [1] to test - for example:
# hiera --debug philcheck::value
That doesnt quite work as-is, eh?
Because I need to know how to set the client hostname,
Plus it's not pulling in whatever puppet is setting it to. It's
pulling from /etc/yaml.conf if I call it that way.
If I call it with -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml, it passes the syntax
check. and even loads the value I expect.
So it's not a matter of a syntax error making the thing default, either. sigh...

Would be real nice if there was some way to strace the puppetmaster demon doing its thing for a client! You might try: - stop the puppet master service - in a console, run puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose --debug That will let you see everything in real time, with extra debug logging turned on. It might get you somewhere. You'll need to reduce the agent load coming at it (or work on a set of dev systems), of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
