Did you just change hiera.yaml? If so, you must restart puppetserver for
changes to take effect. We do something similar with roles, with this
site.pp. Stolen from Gary and it works well.
node default {
$role = hiera('role')
include $role
}
You need to set 'role' somewhere in your hieradata in which the first found
in your hierarchy will win. This is hard to answer well without
understanding what you have in your hiera data. This role needs to be set
in your %{application} yaml file.
Not sure how helpful this will be.
