Hi Guys,
I am using masterless Puppet. And My situation is that I am using a custom
Hiera backend called hiera-regex. The process of using it is that you have
to have hiera-regex installed on your target machine.
If sometime for some reason, hiera-regex is not installed, hiera still
looks up for the key in hierarchy and starts using that key which it was
not suppose to use in the presence of hiera-regex. Ideally, I would want
Puppet to exit when it does not find hiera-regex backend installed. But as
of now, Puppet only prints a notice() which can be easily missed and can
leave your node in an unwanted state.
Is it possible to somehow configure Puppet/hiera for masterless setup to
not continue at all if hiera is configured to use a custom backend and that
backend is not installed?
Here is my hiera.yaml file:
---
:backends:
- regex # this is the custom backend (hiera-regex)
- yaml
:regex:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hiera
:yaml:
:datadir: /etc/puppet/hiera
:hierarchy:
- "%{fqdn}"
- base
Expecting some help on this. I have posted the same question on
stackoverflow as well:
