(at least I did)

Hi @bastelfreak could you provide more details about how/where the

tier

variable is set?

how the heck did I miss that information

those variables are set in PE node groups

I think the tab is called variables

ah I mentiones it in a comment in the related issue: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-11437?focusedCommentId=866168&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-866168 (and probably the zendesk tiket

ah thanks!

Ok I see. The patch you proposed in the ticket (11595) works because it causes

puppet lookup

to always use the configured node terminus (in PE, it's

classifier.rb

) to retrieve node classes, parameters, etc.

Currently if environment is specified explicitly, we use the builtin

plain

terminus, so you don't get any of the server side parameters

I was wondering if that ever worked on purpose or by accident

@bastelfreak I think your ticket is a dup of https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-11527

The trouble is that if an agent is not allowed to specify its environment (i.e. it's enforced in the classifier), then

puppet lookup -E web key

is not well defined.

Historically it was always the value of

key

in the server-specified environment. We tried to fix that in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-7479

So that

puppet lookup -E web key

returns the value of

key

in environment

web

no matter how the classifier is configured.

But in doing so we "lost" classifier provided information like

classes

and

parameters

I feel like there are a bunch of PR for facter and puppetlabs-puppetdb that need some love 🙂

See the

puppetlabs-puppetdb

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb?src=slack&channel=office-hours

mainly puppetdb, even if I have PR with no feedback in both repos. Is there something we can help with as community members?

(I approved some PR by @bastelfreak but I am not sure it will help)

Hi @smortex sorry I don't really know the status of

puppetlabs-puppetdb

? I'd check with @binford2k about that.

See the

puppetlabs-puppetdb

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb?src=slack&channel=office-hours

We do have plans on reviewing community PRs to puppet and facter in our upcoming sprint

Maybe I should request to be added as a collaborator to this project 🤷

Yeah I'd be in favor of that!

But my feeling is that PuppetDB is managed by another group of people quite independant from the rest of Puppet

@bastelfreak about the lookup issue, the crux of the problem is that the classifier may assign a node to an environment. So when you do

puppet lookup -E web

do you want to know what value the node will get when it next runs (which may not be from env

web

!) ?

Or do you want to override the classifier and always get the value from

web

(even though the classifier may assign the agent to a different environment when it next runs)?
