Getting data from hiera in puppet manifets with foreman installed?

Question

Puppet

Can't get data from Hiera after installing foreman.
My config: Puppet Master 3.7.4 + Foreman 1.7 + Hiera 1.3.4
Hiera configs:

/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml

---
:backends:
  - yaml
:hierarchy:
  - "%{::environment}/node/%{::fqdn}" #node settings
  - "%{::environment}/profile/%{calling_class}" # profile settings
  - "%{::environment}/%{::environment}" # environment settings
  - "%{::environment}/%{::osfamily}" # osfamily settings
  - common # common settings
:yaml:
# datadir is empty here, so hiera uses its defaults:
# - /var/lib/hiera on *nix
# - %CommonAppData%\PuppetLabs\hiera\var on Windows
# When specifying a datadir, make sure the directory exists.
  :datadir: '/etc/puppet/hiera'

/etc/puppet/hiera/production/profile/common.yaml

profile::common::directory_hierarchy:
  - "C:\\SiteName"
  - "C:\\SiteName\\Config"
profile::common::system: "common"

Hiera data for specific module /etc/puppet/hiera/production/profile/common.yaml :

profile::common::directory_hierarchy:
  - "C:\\SiteName"
  - "C:\\SiteName\\Config"
profile::common::system: "common"

Manifest code /etc/puppet/environments/production/modules/profile/manifests/common.pp

class profile::common (
      $directory_hierarchy      =undef,
      $system                   =undef
  )
{
  # $directory_hierarchy, $system, $share_directory
  notify { "Dir is- $directory_hierarchy my fqdn is $fqdn, system = $system": }
}

I'm trying to get data from a particular class of the folder in the hier but it doesn't get through. If I make a request like
hiera -c /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml profile::common::directory_hierarchy ::environment=production calling_class=common
I get the data. If the data is registered, for example, in common or osfamily, then they come through the data.
And what is the strangest thing, if you install the master without foreman, then the same code works.
Can someone suggest what could be the problem.

Answer 1

As far as I understand, foreman needs a certain hier structure, and as an enc tool, it basically replaces hiera. I'm not sure, but it seems that external_nodes and node_terminus should be disabled, leaving foreman only for reports. And how to use it hybridly, I xs - you have to rummage through the code.
