How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

defining values in Hiera does not work, but works when defined in class. I am using the below format.

collectd::plugin::cpu::reportbystate: true

collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::mygraphite::graphitehost: graphite-1.xxxxx
collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::mygraphite::graphiteport: 2003
collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::mygraphite::graphiteprefix: collectd.
collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::mygraphite::protocol: tcp

What are you seeing

What behaviour did you expect instead

@juniorsysadmin Any support ?

for the write_graphite module, I would not expect:

collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::mygraphite::graphitehost: graphite-1.xxxxx

to work, but would expect:

collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbon::graphitehost: graphite-1.xxxxx

I'm not able to conjure the correct hiera format either.

Hi @iyappan-dcis,

Sorry I didn't see this, maybe I'm late and you already fixed it, but this is how I have it working.

collectd::plugin::write_graphite::carbons:
  graphite:
    graphitehost: 'graphite.domain.com'
    graphiteport: 2013
    graphiteprefix: "instance.cluster."
    separateinstances: false

Hope it helps somebody at least.

Cheers,

Jordi
