Wow, these are great news! I've just installed it on an Ubuntu 12.04 and it was really painless. For whoever might be interested I made an instant module for this: https://github.com/example42/puppet-puppetdb with default Example42 NextGen layout (so it still misses puppetdb specific resources and the PuppetMaster integration).
Reading the docs it opens a universe of possible uses.. Looking forward to start to integrate it on a real environment... too bad it's friday :-D +1 guys! (and +1 to Brice for the huge work he did on Store Configs that made possible great things on Puppet ... and that we 're probably going to trash away soon :-) al On Friday, May 18, 2012 4:21:26 PM UTC+2, Michael Stanhke wrote: > > PuppetDB, a component of the Puppet Data Library, is a centralized storage > daemon for auto-generated data.
