Example Config:
---
:parser: YAML
:precedence:
- %{environment}/nodes/%{fqdn}
- %{environment}/nodes/cluster_%{cluster}
- %{environment}/nodes/site_%{site}
- %{environment}/nodes/default
:yaml:
:datadir: /usr/share/puppet/environments
Example call:
$default_packages = extlookup('linux_default_packages')
Given an environment called 'testing', cluster called 'cluster1', site
called 'site1' and a node called localhost.localdomain it will look for
variable 'linux_default_packages' in:
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/localhost.localdomain.yaml
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/cluster_cluster1.yaml
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/site_site1.yaml
/usr/share/puppet/environments/testing/default.yaml
In that order, which means you can set this at the default level, then
override at any lower level you like. Make sense?
