I’m assuming that removing a concat::fragment is all that is necessary for the removal of said fragment. That there doesn’t need to be any explicit

ensure => absent

?

correct

Thx

anyone know if

glob

in

hiera.yaml

can merge data? so if I have the same in multiple files that are globbed together, will it merge, or will one of them “win”?

I think there is no difference between glob and multiple paths, same behavior applies

with

first

merging strategy, first on the list wins

yes

what @vchepkov says

k, that’s what I figured. Just like they were in the same file

hrm. Trying to split up a large hash into multiple files,, but probably not a simple way to do it

I don't think 'same file' is the right description

multiple files

multiple files

you can do lookup_options that work against globs

and do a merge: deep or merge:hash that will allow that to work

(merge:hash would let you define first level keys separately and merge everything below them iirc, deep is deep)

Would like to manage just some segments of large yaml file with puppet epp. Is stdlib’s to_yaml of any help here?

concat is better, imho

have static components and epp as contact::fragment arranged into one concat file

have static components and epp as contact::fragment arranged into one concat file

but why not have the whole file as one epp?

but why not have the whole file as one epp?

Currently entire file is managed as a dummy epp template. As the time goes by new segments we're added and it’s ready to be optimized with iteration and moving repeated patterns to hiera. It's not my code, currently not in position to make some big changes.

Have static area that I’d rather not touch and parts that are changing. It’s just a section with single key and the value is array of hashes.

seems concat is a good choice

Will try - ty @vchepkov

maybe the puppetserver 6 uses an intermediate certificate. I'm not sure if puppet 5 supports that

ahhhhh that could be it

oh, wait, puppetserver is the CA, let me check the config but I don't think it generates a intermediate CA by default
