I cannot say exactly what you're doing wrong, as I am uncertain what "the"
/etc/hosts modules are, or why anyone would need more than one such
module. You clearly are not talking about the standard Host resource type,
as it has no parameter named "host_entries".
Inasmuch as the Host resource uses the hostname as its identifier, I
suspect the wanted hash will have hostnames as keys. I would not be
surprised to hear that the expected form of the hash was something like
this (YAML):
'hosts::hostentries':
'puppet.mybluebolt.com':
'ip': '10.150.28.8'
'host_aliases': 'puppet' # optional; may also be an array
That matches up with the underlying Host resource type
<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#host>, and it is
the form that would be used with the standard create_resources() function
<https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/function.html#createresources>.
This is all an educated guess, however, inasmuch as I don't know what
module you are in fact using. Any way around, I'm sure PL would appreciate
feedback about the shortcomings of its documentation on this point. They
might pick it up from your post here, as several employees do participate,
but you cannot rely on that.
