Cisco Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud 4.1 Installation Guide

Below is a sample of “webserver.params.json” corresponding to the profile class called “webserver”. For 
each parameter, you provide a friendly name, description, default value, and most importantly, what 
class parameter you are overriding. You can alternatively define an externally defined fact for a node by 
specifying ‘fact’, ‘facter’ or an empty value for the class_param attribute of the parameter. 

If you provide a comma-separated options list, users will have to choose one of the values in the list. 
Override values are added to the hiera node classification file along with the role that includes the 
profiles requiring these parameter values. Because class parameter overrides are handled in Hiera node 
classification, be careful of parameter override precedence. Any values provided in a “class” inclusion 
block, will take precedence over those values provided by Hiera.
