PuppetDB 1.2.0 is now available for download! This is a backward compatible feature release of PuppetDB.
Please note: Packages are now provided for Fedora 18, but are no longer provided for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, which is end-of-life. Due to work being done to integrate PuppetDB with Puppet Enterprise, new pe-puppetdb packages are not available. In the meantime, Puppet Enterprise users should remain on PuppetDB 1.1.x. ============= ## Downloads ## ============= Available in native package format at: http://yum.puppetlabs.com and http://apt.puppetlabs.com Puppet module: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb Source (same license as Puppet): http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb/ # Documentation (including how to install): http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.2 # Issues can be filed at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppetdb/issues # See our development board on Trello: http://links.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb-trello ============================ ## PuppetDB 1.2.0 Release Notes ## ============================ Many thanks to following people who contributed patches to this release: Chris Price Deepak Giridharagopal Erik Dalén Jordi Boggiano Ken Barber Matthaus Owens Michael Hall Moses Mendoza Nick Fagerlund Nick Lewis Notable features: Automatic node purging This is the first feature which allows data in PuppetDB to be deleted. The new node-purge-ttl setting specifies a period of time to keep deactivated nodes before deleting them. This can be used with the puppet node deactivate command or the automatic node deactivation node-ttl setting. This will also delete all facts, catalogs and reports for the purged nodes. As always, if new data is received for a deactivated node, the node will be reactivated, and thus exempt from purging until it is deactivated again. The node-purge-ttl setting defaults to 0, which disables purging. Import/export of PuppetDB data Two new commands have been added, puppetdb-export and puppetdb-import. These will respectively export and import the entire collection of catalogs in your PuppetDB database. This can be useful for migrating from HSQL to PostgreSQL, for instance. There is also a new Puppet subcommand, puppet storeconfigs export. This command will generate a similar export data from the ActiveRecord storeconfigs database. Specifically, this includes only exported resources, and is useful when first migrating to PuppetDB, in order to prevent failures due to temporarily missing exported resources. Automatic dead-letter office compression When commands fail irrecoverably or over a long period of time, they are written to disk in what is called the dead-letter office (or DLO). Until now, this directory had no automatic maintenance, and could rapidly grow in size. Now there is adlo-compression-threshold setting, which defaults to 1 day, after which commands in the DLO will be compressed. There are also now metrics collected about DLO usage, several of which (size, number of messages, compression time) are visible from the PuppetDB dashboard. Bug fixes: KahaDB journal corruption workaround If the KahaDB journal, used by ActiveMQ (in turn used for asynchronous message processing), becomes corrupted, PuppetDB would fail to start. However, if the embedded ActiveMQ broker is restarted, it will cleanup the corruption itself. Now, PuppetDB will recover from such a failure and restart the broker automatically. Terminus files conflict between puppetdb-terminus and puppet There was a conflict between these two packages over ownership of certain directories which could cause the puppetdb-terminus package to fail to install in some cases.
