Re: [Puppet Users] dynamic hiera_config setting
Hi James, One thing to take into account here is that hiera_config is under the [master] section, so it might not take into account settings in [agent], such as the environment. Try running puppet master --configprint environment to see if it's set to the default (which is production). Hope this helps! Pablo D.

Re: [Puppet Users] dynamic hiera_config setting
Hi Pablo, Thanks for the response. I've tried setting the environment in the master section, the agent section, the main section. Regardless of whether I set the environment anywhere in the masters puppet.conf, it always looks for the hiera.yaml file in the production directory. I was hoping that it would derive the hiera.yaml path dynamically from the clients' environment when it checks in, but this seems not to be the case.
