Hi,
I've been trying to debug my slow Puppet runs since using hiera-gpg
(https://groups.google.com/d/topic/puppet-users/CRu_RolrX_8/discussion) and
found some unexpected (by me) behaviour in hiera.
It seems that hiera does a lookup for any class parameters, even if they
are not hiera functions.
e.g. say I have a class:
class hieratest($default_value="default") {
> file { "/tmp/hieratest.txt":
> ensure => present,
> content => $default_value,
> }
> }
>
and in my nodes.pp I have
include hieratest
>
If I run puppetmaster in the foreground and do a 'puppet agent -t' I can
see that hiera is looking through my entire hierarchy for
hieratest::default_value. I would not expect hiera to do this unless I had
put:
class hieratest($default_value=hiera('default_value', "default")) { ... }
>
I noticed that if I include the 'default_value' var in my hiera common.yaml
it is not found / used, however if I put 'hieratest::default_value' in then
it is used. Is this the expected behaviour? If so is there any way to
include a default parameter in a class without it doing a hiera lookup?
This seems to have quite a major impact on my catalog compile time once I
add the gpg backend.
Cheers,
Jon
