List of all Hiera data for a particular host/puppet run?

[Tony Hays]

Quick question for the gurus out there, I have searched a bit but haven't seen a topic that seems to fit...

I have a fairly nested Hiera hierarchy.  I was wondering if there was a way of displaying/outputing/reporting on all of the substitutions that have been made during a particular puppet run on a particular host.  I currently am stepping my way through the hierarchy pre-run, but I thought it would be kind of cool to be able to show for the >40 variables that hiera is looking up for this host in the 10 yamls, this is the specific list that was used in the run.

Any thoughts?

Knee-jerk-reaction response:

Make a shell script of hiera command line calls with the host name as an input to the shell script.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Thought of that as I was typing up the question.  I guess my goal is to try and use the info that is already in the puppet run, and try to tease out this info into a separate report.  I mean it is building this list somewhere in the catalog, I just don't know enough about getting custom stuff out to know if it is worth diving in deeper, or just take the .sh route.

This would be a pretty awesome feature. I think the hard part about something like a script is that different hosts may have different classes applied. You could also make a big ERB template with all the known Hiera variables in it and just have it generate a file somewhere on your filesystem. I'm not sure how helpful that is though.
