Well normally you would use hiera_hash() and create_resources() to do it,
like this:
# yaml data source
---
cron_jobs::logrotate::users
kenweiss:
hour => 5
tomjones:
hour => 3
# pp file
---
class cron_jobs::logrotate ( $hour, $minute, $weekday ) {
...
$user_cron_options = hiera_hash('cron_jobs::logrotate::users', false)
if $user_cron_options{
create_resources('cron_jobs::logrotate::user_cron', $user_cron_options)
}
}
One thing I don't know is how to do that for defined types that do not have
any parameters. Unfortunately create_resources requires a hash for the
second argument, so you have to use hiera_hash to pull in the data, so it
has to be a hash in hiera. And I haven't figured out how to define an empty
hash yet. Or transform an array into a hash that would work for
create_resources.
