I am certain that the apt and motd classes are correctly receiving the parameters from hiera. I confirmed it numerous times by updating the hiera config with different values, doing the puppet agent run and confirm the changes made in hiera came through to the agent. I needed to ensure I wasn't going insane. :-) > > Have you restarted the master since last updating the data?

I'm in the same boat, not quite sure when the master needs to be restarted, so I've been restarting it to make sure to cover all my bases. > > Have you looked in the master's logs for diagnostics that might be > relevant? > This I did not do. And I just did, and sure enough, there are some other (possibly relevant) errors showing up in the puppetserver.log. ==> puppetserver.log <== 2015-09-09 15:11:52,333 INFO [puppet-server] Puppet Caching node for puppet .development.vm 2015-09-09 15:11:53,286 WARN [puppet-server] Puppet You cannot collect exported resources without storeconfigs being set; the export is ignored 2015-09-09 15:11:53,448 ERROR [puppet-server] Puppet Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, ossec::agentkey: is missing 2015-09-09 15:11:53,448 ERROR [puppet-server] Puppet Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, ossec::agentkey: is missing at /etc/ puppetlabs/code/environments/development/modules/ossec/manifests/agentkey.pp :8:20 on node puppet.development.vm 2015-09-09 15:11:53,449 ERROR [puppet-server] Puppet Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, ossec::agentkey: is missing Thanks for the pointer, I'll investigate this further! Hopefully this is the failure causing the problem.
