I just upgraded to puppet 3.8. Things I used to do in 3.7 like import and
inherits no longer work. Anyway, I have been trying to figure out hiera.
The docs on the site are great if you already know what you are doing.
Anyway, I have environments setup. And have the hiera.yaml setup and
working. Here is the hiera.yaml.
---
:backends:
- yaml
:yaml:
:datadir: "/etc/puppet/environments/%{::environment}/hieradata"
:hierarchy:
- "nodes/%{::trusted.certname}"
- "%{::osfamily}/%{::operatingsystemmajrelease}"
- "virtual/%{::virtual}"
- "common"
under my development einvironment I have
RedHat/6.yaml
RedHat/7.yaml
6.yaml has info for ntp and 7.yaml has info for chrony.
6.yaml
---
ntp::restrict: 127.0.0.1
ntp::service_enable: true
ntp::service_ensure: running
ntp::servers:
- ntp.server.com
7.yaml
---
chrony::service_enable: true
chrony::service_ensure: running
chrony::servers:
- ntp.server.com
That all looks fine and hiera test works.
$ hiera ntp::service_enable ::environment=development ::osfamily=RedHat
::operatingsystemmajrelease=6
true
Now I am unsre how to make use of this in my site.pp.
I have this, but it is not working:
if $operatingsystemmajrelease =~ '6' {
include ntp
}
elsif $operatingsystemmajrelease == '7' {
include chrony
}
It's setting the ntp.conf and chrony.conf files to the defaults. I really
like puppet when it is working. But trying to figure this out is just
pissing me off. I wish there was a doc that would hold my hand and just
give exact examples on how to get this to work. It's not intuitive.
