So that link says that I can do what I am after with an ENC (which that page doesn't tell you what that means...). "When writing an ENC, simply ensure that the environment: key is set in the YAML output that the ENC returns. See the documentation on writing ENCs for details. <https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html#environment>" That link takes you here: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html#environment That gives an example of a hiera file. Plus it says " In Puppet 3 and later, this will become the only environment used by the node in its requests for catalogs and files." So if that is the only way things will happen in the future, I should probably do it this way. Things are looking good right? Except that documentation is not quite complete...I have read it like three times and I am still not sure how I am supposed to set that up to get it working... Let me poke at it for a while and see what happens. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
