[Puppet Users] Extending the storeconfigs database
I'm adding tables to the storeconfigs database, to support my storereports plugin, and would like some guidance on handling the schema version. First prize would see my database extensions applied as migrations. But then ActiveRecord would want to bump the schema version. Any ideas on how to handle this gracefully so that I don't confuse the hell out of puppet itself, on upgrade?

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean create a new database? Ciao, Sheldon. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Puppetshow defunct?
Hi folks, Is puppetshow still a going concern? it is referred to by the Puppet Wiki's DocumentationStart page, but the target URL produces an "Environment not found" error message: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppetshow If puppetshow is defunct, what are people using as a visual interface into stored logs instead? I know I can get RRD files easily, but I'm looking for answers to questions like * On which hosts is this fact false? * On which hosts is this recipe failing? * Which recipes are failing on this host?

I don't think puppetview will cut it for us, because we have 5 puppetmasters storing configs to a central server. I've given up on trying to find the magic set of gem versions that puppetshow wants, and will just hack something up myself, which I think is the state of the art in puppet reporting. :-) Thanks, Sheldon. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Metrics and storeconfigs
When I got involved in our Puppet deployment, someone had already done some work getting the puppet client talking to one puppetmaster and having puppetshow run on the puppetmaster. We're using multiple puppetmasters, whcih have storeconfigs enabled. They all write to a centralized database. We were hoping to draw reports on the kinds of stuff you get from Puppet::Util::Metric. But I think there's been a misunderstanding. I think storeconfigs doesn't store Puppet::Util::Metric values to the database, and so we'll need to write some code to fish values out of /var/lib/ puppetmaster/reports and punt them into new tables in the database, if we want to report out of a central database. Can someone confirm? I'm just nervous that I've overlooked something obvious and am about to take on unnecessary work.

[Puppet Users] Re: Metrics and storeconfigs
Huh? Where in the database are the reports? Or maybe this only happens on a very recent version of puppet? We're using 0.24.8. Thanks, Sheldon.

Well I'd love to see what you're doing if you're inclined to share. :-) Do you modify puppet, or have you written a sideline cron job that punts reports over?
