Sorry, your hiera config points to:
-'%{operatingsystem}'
- '%{platform}/%{location}/%{role}
- common role
But the facts you have are:
company_role
company_platform
company_location
So unless you have facts platform, location, and role defined they aren't
going to match up. It's like the facts you've used below:
hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml hsflowd_port platform=production
location=frankfurt role=dev_tst
So role = dev_tst does not equal custom_role = dev_tst
-- you get what I mean?
Something like this might work:
-'%{operatingsystem}'
- %{custom_platform}/%{custom_location}/%{custom_role}
- '%{platform}/%{location}/%{role}'
See if that works,
Den
