Your simplest and most straightforward upgrade path would be to port the CSV file to a common.yaml file and then switch to using lookup() with hieradata. Later on, you can start differentiating and build a sane data hierarchy.

Check out the docs at https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/hiera_quick.html


If you really must keep the CSV format, you can write your own function that you use with hiera 5. It is quite simple. I show examples and explain how hiera 5 works in this video: https://www.slideshare.net/PuppetLabs/puppetconf-2017-hiera-5-the-full-data-enchilada-hendrik-lindberg-puppet

You may want to watch that even if you convert your data to yaml.

    I'm looking at the possibility of moving our Puppet manifests from
    3.8 to Something More Recent (i.e. 6.1)

    We have one big CSV file for (mostly) encrypted passwords and the like.
    And our existing manifests use extlookup to extract the relevant
    entries, via calls like pw =

    How should I replace this?
    Can someone point me at an example of the simplest possible external
    lookup?
