Deprecation notice

This module was designed for Puppet versions 2 and 3. It should work also on Puppet 4 but doesn't use any of its features.

Official git repository: http://github.com/example42/puppet-puppetdb

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Module's specific parameters

  • Install PuppetDb with local postgresql backend (Note: default credentials with a random password are used)

      class { 'puppetdb':
        db_type => 'postgresql',
      }
    
  • Install PuppetDb with postgresql backend and custom credentials

      class { 'puppetdb':
        db_type     => 'postgresql',
        db_host     => 'data.example42.com',
        db_port     => '12345',
        db_name     => 'puppetdb',
        db_user     => 'puppetdbuser',
        db_password => 's0rt0fP4ssW0rd!',
      }
    

USAGE - Basic management

  • Install puppetdb with default settings (hsqldb backend)

      class { 'puppetdb': }
    
  • Install a specific version of puppetdb package

      class { 'puppetdb':
        version => '1.0.1',
      }
    
  • Disable puppetdb service.

      class { 'puppetdb':
        disable => true
      }
    
  • Remove puppetdb package

      class { 'puppetdb':
        absent => true
      }
    
  • Enable auditing without without making changes on existing puppetdb configuration files

      class { 'puppetdb':
        audit_only => true
      }
    

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

      class { 'puppetdb':
        source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/puppetdb/puppetdb.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/puppetdb/puppetdb.conf" ], 
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

      class { 'puppetdb':
        source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/puppetdb/conf/',
        source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
      }
    
  • Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

        template => 'example42/puppetdb/puppetdb.conf.erb',
