Puppet agent not picking up hiera

[Alexander Dacre]

Hi,

I'm in the process of deploying my first Puppet instance with hiera and environments but I'm having some difficulties. Configuration files listed below with the host names removed.

[me@puppet puppet]$ cat /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

---

:backends:

  - yaml

:yaml:

  :datadir: "/etc/puppet/environments/%{::environment}"

:hierarchy:

  - "nodes/%{::fqdn}"

[me@puppet puppet]$ cat /etc/puppet/environments/production/nodes/servers-fqdn.yaml

---

ntp::restrict:

  -

ntp::autoupdate: false

ntp::enable: true

ntp::servers:

  - 0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst

  - 1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst

  - 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst

  - 3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst

[me@puppet puppet]$ cat /etc/puppet/environments/production/manifests/site.pp

hiera_include('classes')

Seems to work from the command line:

[me@puppet puppet]$ sudo hiera ntp::servers ::fqdn=servers-fqdn ::environment=production

["0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst",

 "1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst",

 "2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst",

 "3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst"]

But not on the agents?

Any suggestions on what I;m doing wrong?

Thanks,

Alex

This is running on Puppet 3.8.1

Did you restart puppet server after making the changes to hiera.yaml?
It caches the config in hiera.yaml on start up. That could explain
why you are seeing different behaviour on the command line.
