Hello,

Could I ask for a little clarification over node definitions in 3.6+ and
directory environments please.

On our 2.7 masters we have an /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp with some
defaults within it.

import "nodes/*.pp"

filebucket { 'main':
   server => 'puppet.dev',
   path   => false,
}

File {
   backup => 'main',
}

node default {
   .. Some default modules for all nodes..
}

And this in the puppet.conf

[dev]
     modulepath = /etc/puppet/environments/dev/modules

And all the <nodes>.pp files are then imported based on the hostname.

Now on a new 3.6 server that I am testing/setting up I have the
following in puppet.conf

     environmentpath = $confdir/environments
     basemodulepath  = $confdir/modules

And in the /etc/puppet/environments/dev directory I have now
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--   1 root root   57 May 19 08:44 environment.conf
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   21 May 16 15:12 manifests ->
/etc/puppet/manifests
drwxr-xr-x 180 root root 4096 May 15 13:46 modules

Which seems to be functioning. But I am concerned that I am not doing it
the "best practice" way with the import still in there and
what not.

So is there a better way to lay this out or do I remove the "import"
statement and bring all the <node>.pp files back into the same
place as site.pp etc ?

The replacement for import is to place all of your "initial content" in the same directory - they are processed in alphanumerical order based on the file name.
