I'm confused at your snippets because they don't seem right. For instance,
you show:
#log_special::log_vars: "test"
$log_vars=log_vars,
But that doesn't look syntactically correct... I'm pretty sure that would
fail to compile.
Anyway, I think if this really is what your yaml looks like:
log_special::log_vars:
a: - 'jklkl'
- 'test'
Then in your pp manifest, you'd want to have something like this:
$log_vars = hiera_hash('log_special::log_vars', false)
if ($log_vars) {
$array = $log_vars['a']
}
And then $array should be an array containing 'jklkl' and 'test'.
