Problem in looking up key value from hieradata

[Maruti Gangumolu]

Hi All,

I want to integrate hiera with puppet conifguration tool for managing my data

This is my setup that I have

puppetmaster version = 3.6.2

hiera version = 1.3.4

This is what i defined in my puppet.conf configuration file of puppetmaster

hiera_config = /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

This is how my hiera.yaml looks...

---

backends:

  - yaml

hierarchy:

  - node/%{::fqdn}

  - "%{::environment}"

  - global

yaml:

  datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

cd /etc/puppet/hieradata/node

[root@puppetmaster node]# cat puppetmaster.yaml 

---

webserver: puppetmaster

when trying to lookup hiera key value, I'm getting nil value. Could you please help me where I'm making mistakes?

[root@puppetmaster node]# hiera -d webserver ::node=puppetmaster

DEBUG: 2017-01-28 14:26:46 +0530: Hiera YAML backend starting

DEBUG: 2017-01-28 14:26:46 +0530: Looking up webserver in YAML backend

nil

Thanks,

Maruti.

Hello,

There are a few issues with your example that need to be fixed, to make it work.

As a start, you need to prefix certain keywords in /etc/hiera.yaml with a colon (:). I have tested using this setup:

---
:backends:
  - yaml
:hierarchy:
  - node/%{::fqdn}
  - "%{::environment}"
  - global
:yaml:
  :datadir: /etc/puppet/hieradata

Apart from that, you are querying hiera using the node=puppetmaster fact, but in /etc/hiera.yaml you are using the fact fqdn as one of the hierarchy parts. So, switching to using 'hiera webserver ::fqdn=puppetmaster' should work.
