Description

This module collects Puppet Enterprise data for analysis as part of the HealthCheck Lite service offering. The majority of the data is collected by the Puppet Enterprise Support Script.

https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/getting_support_for_pe.html#pe-support-script

Setup

Install the healthcheck_lite module

To install the healthcheck_lite module, execute the following command on the Primary Master.

puppet module install puppetlabs-healthcheck_lite --modulepath=/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules

Doing so will install this module into the base module path, making its tasks available without interfering with other modules.

Enable the healthcheck_lite module tasks

If your Primary Master has environment caching enabled (which is true by default if Code Manager is being used), flush the environment cache to enable the tasks in this module.

Run the following command on the Primary Master:

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/healthcheck_lite/scripts/flush_environment_cache.sh

Usage

Run the healthcheck_lite::configure task

In the Console, run the healthcheck_lite::configure task, targeting the Primary Master.

Or, from the command line of the Primary Master, run:

puppet task run healthcheck_lite::configure --nodes $(facter -p certname)

Task parameters

install_pe_metrics (Boolean, default: true)

Temporarily install and configure the puppet_metrics_collector module, if it is not already installed.

https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/puppet_metrics_collector

install_pe_tune (Boolean, default: true)

Temporarily install the puppet pe tune subcommand via the pe_tune module. The pe_tune module is the upstream version of the puppet infrastructure tune subcommand.

https://github.com/tkishel/pe_tune

Note Allow at least one day after executing the healthcheck_lite::configure task for the puppet_metrics_collector module to collect metrics data before executing the healthcheck_lite::collect task.

Run the healthcheck_lite::collect task

In the Console, run the healthcheck_lite::collect task, targeting the Primary Master.

Or, from the command line of the Primary Master, run:

puppet task run healthcheck_lite::collect --nodes $(facter -p certname)

When finished, the healthcheck_lite::collect task will output a list of files. Upload those files from the Primary Master to Puppet for analysis.

Development

This module is developed and maintained by the Puppet Enterprise Support and Technical Sales teams.
