puppet sub-folders

[Jason Hatman]

My manifests folder is getting pretty full and a little messy.  Can I create directories in my manifests folder for my main module?  Does puppet understand to look in the folders or will this mess everything up?

[Jason Hatman]

I suppose I should have mentioned that I'm using a Puppetmaster server to dish out all of my manifests.

Sounds like it's time for you to start using modules:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html

For interest's sake, my manifest has only a two-line site.pp. Everything else is modules or hiera.

Yumrepo <| |> -> Package <| |>
hiera_include('hclasses')

I'm using modules right now.  However, I have 90% of my manifests in one module.  My site.pp is also very small. Should I break them up into different modules?  I really haven't put much thought into that because I didn't have very many manifests at first.  Now, my library is growing rapidly.

The answer is a qualified "yes", since little chunks of functionality are going to be easier for you to maintain than a single large module.

Later on you can look into hiera and other useful stuff.

Moreover you may create subdirectories,  for example if you declare the class:
namex::namey::namez

The autolader would look for the manifest:
$moduledir/namex/manifests/namey/namez.pp
