Hi Denny, Your site manifest should not have 'import "rsyslog"' as that does not make any sense since it is not syntactically incorrect and you are classifying nodes in LDAP. In order to override a parameter's default value, add it to Hiera. So if you want to change the value of the server_dir parameter to the rsyslog::server class you would add the following in Hiera. rsyslog::server::server_dir: /your/new/value Check out http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/puppet.html#automatic-parameter-lookup for me info.
