So suppose in a very specific hiera YAML file I define a variable, such as "env_name".




env_name: "dev-unstable"




Now in a more general hiera file I'd like to interpolate that variable into a string.




server_name: "service-%env_name.%::domain"




My testing seems to imply that hiera variables from elsewhere in the hierarchy aren't made available for interpolation in general cases. Is that true, unfortunately?

          In your case you would use:

          This is a priority lookup and will get the value for the key env_name from the highest (most specific) hierarchy level in which it finds the key.



          This requires Hiera 1.3 or higher.
