Hello ,

considering I am intrest in knowing value of a parameter from other env ,

Can I run something like this :

hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml webname env=live

from class .

Thanks ,

No, you can't.

What does your data look like? Can it be restructured?

Another option might be to put your values into a common file, and then make $env part of the key.

Say you have two environments: production and dev.

---
production::data:  'this is production'
dev::data: 'this is dev'

Then in your class you could do this.

$data           = hiera("${env}::data")
$other_env_data = hiera('dev::data')
