Thank you all for your feedback.
For anyone looking to do the same here is what i ended up with, I would
appreciate any recommendations if there is a better way to do this, I find
it dirty and think it should be done in the 'view' layer :)
==== Class for node that is providing the IP address
class primarydatabase {
include concat::setup
@@concat::fragment {'databaseIP' :
content => $::ipaddress,
}
}
==== Class for node that needs the IP address
class base {
include concat::setup
package { 'htop':
ensure => installed,
}
$db_file = "/root/database.yml"
concat{$db_file:
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => '0644',
}
concat::fragment { "${db_file}.header":
target => $db_file,
content => "# Managed By Puppet\n\n",
order => '01',
}
concat::fragment {"${db_file}_production_database_config" :
target => $db_file,
content => "production:\n host: ",
order => 100,
}
Concat::Fragment <<| title == 'databaseIP' |>> {
target => $db_file,
order => 101,
}
}
