This rc addresses an issue when using Dashboard 1.1.0rc1 with Puppet 2.6.7rc1 when the Puppet master would have both storedconfigs, and the inventory service enabled.
Bug #6791 - Fact lookup for a single node from Dashboard fails when
using storeconfigs
This is because the active_record terminus that storeconfigs sets as
the cache for facts does not properly return the facts' timestamp.
Dashboard then tries to parse this missing field and fails with can't
dup NilClass. Facts search is unaffected by this.
Also, as noted with the rc1 announcement, there were a couple of very
important notes we forgot to mention:
1. Reports will need to be converted to a new schematized format when
upgrading (#5459). Rather than just storing reports as serialized
YAML in the database as is currently done in v1.0.4, they are now in a
set of tables that allows them to be queried more easily and faster.
This conversion can be a slow process if you have a long history of
reports, so it's not done as part of `rake db:migrate`. Instead,
there is a rake task (#5535) that will do the conversion for you,
converting newer reports first and able to be resumed if it's
interrupted just by rerunning it.
`rake reports:schematize`
Also worth noting is the `rake reports:prune` task that can prune
older reports that you don't care about, which will make this
conversion much faster. Run the rake task without arguments to see
documentation for how to specify how far back to prune.
2. The new inventory service portion of Dashboard only works if
you're running the newest version of Puppet (2.6.7 which is releasing
today).
