I am new to Puppet and Hiera, and having a configuration issue when attempting to apply a module the contains a Hiera lookup to an agent.
From /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml:
---
:backends:
- yaml
:hierarchy:
- defaults
- "%{clientcert}"
- "%{environment}"
- global
:yaml:
:datadir: '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera'
From /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera/develop.yaml:
git_client:
file_content:here
When running Hiera to debug:
/opt/puppet/bin/hiera git_client environment=develop -c /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/hiera.yaml --debug
DEBUG: 2015-05-12 12:40:27 -0400: Hiera YAML backend starting
DEBUG: 2015-05-12 12:40:27 -0400: Looking up git_client in YAML backend

DEBUG: 2015-05-12 12:40:27 -0400: Found git_client in develop
file_content:here
Windows agent configuration from puppet.conf:
[main]
server=[REDACTED]
pluginsync=true
autoflush=true
archive_files=true
archive_file_server=[REDACTED]
graph=true
environment=develop
But when running from the Windows agent:
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Loading facts
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not find data item git_client in any Hiera data file and no default supplied at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/develop/modules/[REDACTED PATH TO .pp FILE]:24 on node [REDACTED]
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
I must have something misconfigured, but I'm not sure where. Any help would be appreciated.
puppet.conf
file on windows agent. – BMW
