Hello, the section in the Host Configuration Guide describing Parameters was recently improved. See[1]. Does that answer this question of precedence? > > 2.

You can use a host attribute, host parameter, or a Puppet Fact. In that order of precedence for matching. It is recommend to use an attribute that is present in Facter and cannot be confused with a host attribute. To list available Puppet Facts navigate to Monitor → Facts. The procedures in the guide were recently improved to make this clearer. See [1] > > 3.

As Hiera is not part of the Foreman project I think this is out of scope for the Puppet Guide. I will mention this to the Content Strategist (whose job it is to decide what we document and where we document things). > > 4. How do I add AD/LDAP as a Hiera data source? Again, I think this is out of scope for the Puppet Guide. I will mention this to the Content Strategist. [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-satellite/6.2/paged/host-configuration-guide/82-parameters Hi Stephen, I agree that the Hiera documentation is outside our scope. The improvements in the Host Configuration guide should address the other issues. Thanks, Steve Hello Stuart Given comments above I cannot see what more Docs team can do with this bug. Please re-open or raise new bugs as required. Thank you Hello On the subject of Hiera, see also: Will Puppet Smart Classes and ENC be integrated? https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1232033 |
