Hiera is fully parsed on the puppetserver. It doesn't matter what the OS of the agent is
can you share an explicit example that fails?
d
I will check for any errors, but I don't think we got any, I believe the variable values just remain empty. Let me confirm.
b
which variable?
m
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Class[Wincognos]: expects a value for parameter 'hostname' expects a value for parameter 'dispatcher_domain' expects a value for parameter 'content_hostname' expects a value for parameter 'groupname' expects a value for parameter 'database' expects a value for parameter 'database_user' expects a value for parameter 'database_password' expects a value for parameter 'efs_suffix' expects a value for parameter 'cogstartup_xml' expects a value for parameter 'environment' (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/development/modules/profiles/manifests/wincognos.pp, line: 4, column: 3) on node w01.dev1.***.com Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
b
ah it's not finding the value in hiera
you can use 
puppet lookup...
on the puppetserver to debug where it's looking for the data
m
ok let me explore that thanks for the suggestion.
b
did you set those parameters in hiera?
m
yes we did
b
okay. sounds like it's in the wrong file
m
Copy code
this is init.pp manifest

this is config.pp manifest

Copy code
This is hiera values yaml file

puppet node able to retrieve the values when we hard code variable values in init.pp but not from hiera
b
yeah check with puppet lookup which hiera files are used
m
i tried this command on puppet master but it didn't list anything
puppet lookup --node <http://w01.dev1.xxx.com|w01.dev1.xxx.com> keyname
b
check the help
m
i repalced keyname with one of variable name
b
you probably want 
--explain
and 
--compile
and if the node isn't running in production, provide the environment as well
m
ok now it gave me below output

b
is your data in one of the paths that use the trusted hash and your windows cert doesn't have the correct data?
m
not sure we will explore that and will update here. Thankyou for the quick responses.

Hi Tim- Thankyou for your troubleshooting guidance. It helped us to figure out the issue and now puppet windows manifest are parsing values from hiera correctly. We've defined hiera repo in puppet control and that name is not matching with the facts we defined. It worked after fixing that facts value.

nice, sounds good
thankyou 1
