Could not find data item in any Hiera data file

[Sudhir R]

Hi Team, I am experiencing issue when executing below command on the puppet server, can you please assist me in debug the issue..1.) I execute this command on the puppet master server => puppet master --debug --compile sc-prd-scm-perforce001.eng.are.comError: Could not find data item scm_liagent.ini.erb in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/li_agent/manifests/config.pp:13 on node sc-prd-scm-perforce001.eng.are.com
Error: Could not find data item scm_liagent.ini.erb in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/li_agent/manifests/config.pp:13 on node sc-prd-scm-perforce001.eng.are.com
Error: Failed to compile catalog for node sc-prd-scm-perforce001.eng.are.com: Could not find data item scm_liagent.ini.erb in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/li_agent/manifests/config.pp:13 on node sc-prd-scm-perforce001.eng.are.com

2.) The file does exist under the hiera directory on the puppet server
[root@sc-prd-scm-puppet002 hiera]# ls -ltr /etc/puppet/environments/production/hiera/scm_liagent.ini.erb
-rw-r--r-- 1 puppet puppet 2018 Feb 3 18:50 /etc/puppet/environments/production/hiera/scm_liagent.ini.erb (edited)

3.) Hiera configuration as follows....[root@sc-prd-scm-puppet002 environments]# cat /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

4.) Puppet server version

[root@sc-prd-scm-puppet002 hiera]# puppet master --version
3.8.7

[Henrik Lindberg]

You can try using the lookup CLI tool with --explain turned on to get
detailed information about exactly what hiera is reading and what
decisions it is making when producing a value (or not finding anything).

You can also get that level of detail in your logs by running the server
with --debug turned on.

Armed with that information you should be able to see where hiera is
doing something you did not expect.

Best,
