[question] desired merge behavior of $input

[7yl4r]

Currently values passed as $input (and $output) are used as the default to fall back on if a valid hiera hash is not found.

My expectation was that passing $input or $output directly would override the hiera values (but I'm relatively new to puppet). Is the behavior of these parameters consistent with other puppet modules?

I came across this when looking for a way to modify the hiera data going to the telegraf module so that I don't need to set up a custom fact or implement an ENC for an "arbitrary" subset of nodes.

Ability to configure merge behaviour was added in #134
Hopefully this should meet your needs. I'll close this ticket, but please reopen if you're still having issues.
