Providing hiera with module data

[Steven Jonthen]

Hi guys,

I don't know how to solve this:
I want ".yaml"-files in each module's "/data"-directory. These .yaml-files should contain data, which Hiera sould pass to the module's manifests.
How can I do that? I'm using Puppet 3.3.1

Thanks in advance!

Start here:

Hiera-2?

I can't find any information on the puppet-website about Hiera-2?

What do you mean with Hiera-2?

Hi,

I have this problem: Hiera only looks inside "data/common.yaml"-file, which is in my module-directory. When i put other data into another yaml file "data/example.yaml", then Puppet doesn't find that data.

What's the cause for this problem?

I recommend you run the master with --debug and --no-daemonize, you should be able to see all hiera searches for each parameter. At least that helped me a lot.

I only need to know how to use different "hiera.yaml" files for different modules. How can I achieve that`?

[Dan White]

What have you tried ?

Links to all the available documentation have already been provided.
I have not tried using "Data In Modules", so I cannot do more than make educated guesses and intelligent suggestions based on the available information.

Have you tried directly contacting the people that wrote this feature ?  Unless someone steps up and admits that they know how this works, I cannot think of anything else to suggest other than to keep re-reading the documentation provided and experiment on a test system.  Other folks suggested running your puppetmaster in debug mode ( --debug --no-daemonize ) to see the hiera lookups.  This is an excellent suggestion.

Good luck.
