Hi,
Before I begin, my environment consists of a standard master/client config with
the exception that all my clients run under a non-root user. I have to use
non-root so I can't simply restart under root to fix the problem.
Master -> 3.1.1
Client -> 2.7.17
using mostly the hiera() function in my classes.
problem:
I have run into an issue today where my custom fact is not being passed to
hiera in order to determine which hiera file to use (see hierarchy). The
custom fact is definitely defined what it should be but its almost as if it has
a differently scope then say a root level custom fact. Because of this hiera
data is coming up undefined which causes my classes to fail.
$myvar = hiera('var-name') --> should use custom_env and custom_release to
help determine where the variable is defined in hiera.
Are custom facts from non root users simply not relayed to hiera?
:hierarchy:
- nodes/%{::fqdn}
- releases/%{custom_release}
- env/%{custom_env}
- common
I have put a bandaid fix in for now which sets these variables via top scope
assignment in one of my classes and allows me to control everything from hiera
instead of using custom facts. However, I am not sure if this follows good
puppet coding practices when using hiera, since I am using hiera to feed hiera.
I don't want to have to define these variables for every node.
bandaid fix:
# this is a top scope variable that is currently a hack to fix an unknown bug
with hiera and local puppet facts
$custom_env = hiera('custom_env') --> defined under nodes/nodename
$custom_release = hiera('custom_release') --> defined under nodes/nodename
class roles::specialapp(
)
{
include specialapp_profile
}
If this is a new bug, I'll be happen to file a ticket.
Thanks,
Corey Osman
