Documentation

nvitaterna/hiera_mysql2 — version 0.1.1 Sep 18th 2018

hiera-mysql2

This is hiera-mysql2 for use with Hiera 5 and Puppet 5.

Description

This module is used to retrieve data from a MySQL database for use in Puppet.

Setup

Installation

puppet module install nvitaterna/hiera_mysql2

Dependencies

If you are using Hiera-mysql under jRuby (puppetserver): puppetserver gem install jdbc-mysql If you are using Hiera-mysql under standard ruby: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install mysql2

Configuration

hiera.yaml:

- name: "MySQL lookup"              # this can be changed
  lookup_key: mysql2_lookup_key     # this must be mysql2_lookup_key
  paths:                            # can be any files you want this module to check for data
    - "common.sql"

Assuming the default data directory is ./data. ./data/common.sql:

---
:dbconfig:
  host: dev1                                # mysql server host
  username: root                            # mysql user
  password: "%{lookup('mysqlpassword')}"    # mysql password
  database: puppet                          # mysql database
  port: 3306                                # mysql port (optional, defaults to 3306)
machines: SELECT * FROM machines;           # queries can be named as you like
items: SELECT * FROM items;

NOTE: any of these fields, including the query, can reference can use hiera lookups.

Usage

When in puppet, use hiera like you normally would:

$machines = lookup('machines')
