Puppet Manifest using to_json_pretty help

[David Pearson]

Hi Team,

I have a file resource within a manifest that uses content => to_json_pretty to create a json config file on all nodes successfully. 

I need to improve the code so that a section of the config is unique per server, but unsure on the best way to do this in the current format. In the example below para5 would differ on each node. I would like to specify the data in hiera for each node (hiera is already setup) and have a lookup within the mainifest. 

Machine 1

    file { '/etc/example.json':
      content => to_json_pretty({
        section1 => {
          para1 => somevalue,
          para2 => somevalue,
          para3 => somevalue,
          para4 => somevalue,
          para5 => [
            {
              para5a.1 => somevalue,
              para5a.2 => somevalue,
              para5a.3 => somevalue,
            },

            {
              para5b.1 => somevalue,
              para5b.2 => somevalue,
            },
          ],
      }, true),
    }

Machine 2

Machine 1

    file { '/etc/example.json':
      content => to_json_pretty({
        section1 => {
          para1 => somevalue,
          para2 => somevalue,
          para3 => somevalue,
          para4 => somevalue,
          para5 => [
            {
              para5a.1 => somevalue,
              para5a.2 => somevalue,
            }

          ],
      }, true),
    }

Regards

David
