Puppet Metrics Collector Support

This module can be utilized in conjunction with the Puppet Metrics Collector module to populate the dashboards in the Metrics tab of the Puppet Report Viewer app.

To enable this, once reporting is working with this module and the Metrics Collector module installed, set the puppet_metrics_collector::metrics_server_type parameter to splunk_hec.

In PE 2019.8.7+, with splunk_hec and the Puppet Report Viewer properly configured, you will want to configure the following parameters within the puppet_enterprise class in the PE Infrastructure node group:

  • puppet_enterprise::enable_metrics_collection: true
  • puppet_enterprise::enable_system_metrics_collection: true

In your hiera data you will then want to configure the metrics_server_type parameter:

  • puppet_metrics_collector::metrics_server_type: ‘splunk_hec’

For more information please refer to the metrics collectors documentation.
