Pass value hiera agent

[Albert Shih]

Hi


I would like to know if it's possible (for dev/test) to pass a value for
some hiera variable through the puppet agent cli ?

For exemple I got a in my fqdn.yaml

status: production

but I would like to do something like

puppet agent -vt --???? status: dev

Is that possible ?

Regards.

Not sure. However, here's how I do this:

1. Setup a "development" environment on your master
2. On the development agents put "environment = development" into their puppet.conf
3. Make sure your hiera.yaml (on the master) contains an entry for the environment in its ":hierarchy:" section, like "environment/%{environment}", somewhere before "common".
   
4. In your hiera directory (where your common.yaml is), create a new file "environment/development.yaml" and put your values into it.

This, combined with putting your Puppet-related stuff into a Git repository, allows you to easily setup different environments on your Puppet master by cloning the repository multiple times and checking out different branches.

HTH...
