Nested hiera lookup

[Helmut Schneider]

Hi,

common.yaml:
---
lookup_options:
paths:
merge:
strategy: 'deep'
knockout_prefix: '--'
variables:
merge:
strategy: 'deep'
knockout_prefix: '--'
paths:
logfilePath: '/var/log'
[...]

another.yaml:
lookup_options:
paths:
merge:
strategy: 'deep'
knockout_prefix: '--'
variables:
merge:
strategy: 'deep'
knockout_prefix: '--'
variables:
logFile: "%{lookup('paths.logfilePath')}/logfile.log"
[...]

Notice: /var/log
Notice:
/Stage[main]/My_puppet/Logrotate::Include[my_puppet]/Notify[paths
my_puppet:]/message: defined 'message' as '/var/log'
Notice: /logfile.log
Notice:
/Stage[main]/My_puppet/Logrotate::Include[my_puppet]/Notify[variables
my_puppet:]/message: defined 'message' as '/openvpn.log'

Should that work?

helmut@h2873756:~$ puppet -V
7.14.0
helmut@h2873756:~$

Thank you!

Hi Helmut,

This is not working!

Within hiera you can use alias or lookup to receive other hiera data values.

But you can not combine a lookup with string.

Hth,
