really stupid question, I want to test a lookup for a node defined in hiera, if I do a puppet lookup prometheus:bind exporterextra_options --node test.domain.com --environment production that should return the value of the extra_options from the bind_exporter class in the prometheus module right ?

(assuming there is a definition for test.domain.com as a node)

not exactly, puppet lookup knows nothing about

class

, only hiera

so if parameters passed directly, say in a profile, to a class, lookup won't be aware

but if it's defined in hiera it should ?

yes

arse, my hiera definition is off as it's returning nothing

thank you

you can add

--explain

to command

it will show where it looks, see if it matches your expectations

interesting, it does search the right file, but doesn't explain as I expected, "No such key: "lookup_options""

why would it think that is the key

the key is prometheus:bind exporterextra_options

Hiera always looks for a key called

lookup_options

first because that defines options that might affect the lookup and resolution of a given key. https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_merging.html#setting_lookup_options_to_refine_the_result_of_a_lookup-lookup-options-format

ahh so it's fine that it doesn't find that then if I've not setup specific lookup options

Correct.

got to be something wrong with how I've defined the param in hiera then as it's looking in the right places, the node.yaml file is there - and contains the param, I've got to have defined it wrong so that it's invalid

prometheus::bind_exporter:extra_options

seems to be missing a second ':' before 'extra'

there is something wrong with my setup - I'm doing a puppet lookup on a key that I know exists and is working, and the puppet run is reading it from hiera and setting it correctly, when I look it up as a test it fails
