Hi Erwin, Nested lookups are possible.
We did a blog post on this topic: https://blog.example42.com/2020/01/21/hiera-nested-lookups/ <https://blog.example42.com/2020/01/21/hiera-nested-lookups/> Just be sure: A nested lookup (like in your example) always returns a string. If you need arrays or hashes within a nested lookup you must use the alias function. hth, Martin > On 18.
