I'm working on upgrading to the Hiera 5 spec and moving away from our global config, but to do that I need to first make sure I have a working H5 config file, so I set to translating our current one using the Puppetlabs documentation.

I must be missing something critical because a slew of things get defined differently when I run with the H5 file so I haven't been able to cut over to it successfully yet.

Hiera 3 version:
---
:backends:
   - yaml

:yaml:
   :datadir: "/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/%{::environment}/hieradata"

:hierarchy:
   - "%{::hostname}"
   - "%{::sitename}"
   - common

Hiera 5 version:
---
version: 5
defaults:
   datadir: hieradata
   data_hash: yaml_data
hierarchy:
   - name: "Per-node data"
     path: "%{facts.hostname}.yaml"

   - name: "Per-site data"
     path: "%{facts.sitename}.yaml"

   - name: "Other data"
     paths:
       - "common.yaml"

-----------

Am I missing something simple? Is there a good way to test (and the "debugging hiera" page is pretty much useless if you're at this point and are using environments to store your hiera data).


You can test with the CLI 'puppet lookup --explain' - you probably want to make sure your node has called in to the master first so the facts are available for it, but can run for the current node as well.

You also get the explain style output in the puppet log if you are running with debug level logging turned on when compiling a catalog.
