I think it's also important to point out, since you weren't specific in your post, that you don't -need- a database in order to consume reports from Puppet runs. That raw data from a Puppet run is consumed by report handlers which turn it in something you can use, keep and analyze. If you want to view reports in the Puppet Dashboard, it uses the http report handler to consume the report, process it and store it within mysql. There are many other report processors (including just yaml on disk). Here's the doc on the built-in ones: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/report.html and here's a recent blog post on many others (like IRC, pagerduty, etc): http://puppetlabs.com/blog/when-puppet-reports-part-1/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
