Foreman with Hiera

Support
1

Hello everyone

I would like to be able to use Hiera and Hiera-eyaml (for encryption) while
using Foreman.
Is this possible or I have to move away from Foreman?

Maybe future parser as well: nice to have.

For some modules I want to override them in Foreman and use the UI.
For others, I would prefer to use Hiera and Hiera-eYaml.

So in the case of nodes where modules with Hiera is being used, I want to
use Foreman as simply a dashboard for reporting.

Are any of these things possible?
What would be the way to do this?

Thanks
John

Hello,

I use foreman with hieradata without any problems. Your Puppet master needs
the hiera.yaml configuration to find your data files and that's it. Of
course you need modules that used hieradata.

It's straight forward like the Puppet documentation described.
