Tom, I'm not sure I totally understand your question; I've also never used an ENC (like dashboard) with default.pp, only with modules.
If you set a parameter called "env" on a group in Dashboard, and then add node "foo.example.com" to that group, the parameter will available in puppet as a top-scope/global variable, i.e. $::foo. Is that what you were asking? -jantman On 11/13/2013 06:54 AM, Thomas RICOU wrote: > Hi > > I'm kinda noobish to puppet and I can't find an answer to my question. > What can I can do with the dashboard groups ?
