# Puppet monitoring with Netdata

Monitor status of Puppet Server and Puppet DB.

Following charts are drawn:

1.  **JVM Heap**

    -   committed (allocated from OS)
    -   used (actual use)

2.  **JVM Non-Heap**

    -   committed (allocated from OS)
    -   used (actual use)

3.  **CPU Usage**

    -   execution
    -   GC (taken by garbage collection)

4.  **File Descriptors**

    -   max
    -   used

## Configuration

Edit the `python.d/puppet.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/puppet.conf
```

```yaml
puppetdb:
    url: 'https://fqdn.example.com:8081'
    tls_cert_file: /path/to/client.crt
    tls_key_file: /path/to/client.key
    autodetection_retry: 1

puppetserver:
    url: 'https://fqdn.example.com:8140'
    autodetection_retry: 1
```

When no configuration is given, module uses `https://fqdn.example.com:8140`.

### notes

-   Exact Fully Qualified Domain Name of the node should be used.
-   Usually Puppet Server/DB startup time is VERY long. So, there should
    be quite reasonable retry count.
-   Secure PuppetDB config may require client certificate. Not applies
    to default PuppetDB configuration though.
