I thought I was doing those things. I set up a FACTER_ env var on one of
my nodes to test like so ...
[root@vii-osc4-mgmt-001 ~]# cat /etc/profile.d/POD_prefix.sh export
FACTER_pod_prefix=vii-osc4
I rebooted the node, vii-osc4-mgmt-001, and checked that env. var is being
set (maybe it's not)
[root@vii-osc4-mgmt-001 ~]# env | grep FACTER_pod_prefix
FACTER_pod_prefix=vii-osc4[root@vii-osc4-mgmt-001 ~]# facter pod_prefix
vii-osc4
So I believe node vii-osc4-mgmt-001 should be reporting the fact pod_prefix
to the puppet master.
Then on my puppet master I adjusted the hiera hierarchy by changing my
hiera.yaml to this ...
# cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml
---
:backends:
- yaml
:hierarchy:
- "%{pod_prefix}"
- defaults
- "%{clientcert}"
- "%{environment}"
- global
:yaml:
# datadir is empty here, so hiera uses its defaults:
# - /var/lib/hiera on *nix
# - %CommonAppData%\PuppetLabs\hiera\var on Windows
# When specifying a datadir, make sure the directory exists.
:datadir:
# ls -l /var/lib/hiera/svl-osc4.yaml
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 49317 Jul 20 15:44 /var/lib/hiera/svl-osc4.yaml
And then I restarted pe-httpd like so ...
# systemctl restart pe-httpd
