Sorry, bit of a noob here at puppet -- I've been configuring puppet &
modules and I was installing a module and following the instructions -- and
they mention putting variables into the Console. I don't use any GUIs (nor
do I want to) for puppet, so I was under the impression everything was just
passed through classes, etc?

... Is "Console" another term for like the site.pp?

In my Console I have created the following classes, groups/parameters:
* Classes
- splunk
* Groups/parameters
- splunk (has the class splunk associated to it)
+ splunk_logging_server = splunk.mydomain.lan
+ splunk_forwarder_port = 8002
+ splunk_syslog_port = 8001
+ splunk_deploy = server
- forwarder (child group of splunk)
+ splunk_deploy = forwarder
- syslog (child group of splunk)
+ splunk_deploy = syslog
Now with this set up, I simply need to add a node to the main splunk *
group* to designate what server will be handling the role of the Splunk
Server and assign nodes to either the forwarder or syslog group depending
on if I want to configure the forwarder for the node or configure rsyslog
to report data to the defined Server.

I love this post on the evolution.

The one thing that is missing which im pretty sure I have seen somewhere
is the ability to properly name your hiera variables with the proper
package structure such that you dont even need to do a hiera lookup, they
will just get auto injected. Can someone point me to some docs on how to
do that?
