can create a top level variable in my enc

[Alex Samad]

Hi

I have a bash script produce this for my test node

---

environment: production

ybenv: alextest

I have this in my hiera.yaml file

:hierarchy:

  # node specific

  - "nodes/%{::trusted.certname}"

  # OS specific

  - "os/%{::osfamily}"

  # Envornment 

  - "ybenv/%{::ybenv}"

  # common to all

  - common

These are my hieradata files

hieradata/

hieradata/os

hieradata/os/RedHat.yaml

hieradata/nodes

hieradata/nodes/testnode.yaml

hieradata/common.yaml

hieradata/ybenv

hieradata/ybenv/alextest.yaml

But this file doesn't seem to be getting read

hieradata/ybenv/alextest.yaml

and tried doing some testing in my site.pp

tried this

$ybenv=hiera('ybenv')

info("Certname [${trusted['certname']}] OsName [${osfamily}] ybenv [${ybenv}] environment [${environment}]")

and also just this

info("ybenv [${ybenv}]")

and it the logs it say ybenv undefined

Thanks - finally found it myself - been looking for days on this

---

environment: production

parameters:

  ybenv: alextest

from 

Learning Puppet 4: A Guide to Configuration Management and Automation

it actually says ENC paramaters are not the same as parameters anywhere else in puppet.

wasn't too clear on that page... 

thanks again
