By default, reports are not stored on the individual nodes, but sent to the master. There are some situations where local files get created, mostly involving the node running standalone. Not sure if PE has different defaults, but normally you should find all reports on the master, in the directory specified by reportdir.
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#reports You should check all the report* parameters on that page for correctness in your environment. Details on the report formats is on this page. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/report.html An option to 'reports' that is oddly not mentioned on that page is the puppetdb option, which is to store reports in puppetdb, and is described on this page. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/1.4/connect_puppet_master.html On Monday, September 16, 2013 9:10:05 AM UTC-7, root wrote: > > Still cannot figure out why I have such a variety of dates for the yaml > files that exist in /var/opt/lib/pe-puppet/reports/`hostname` on each node. > Each node is configured with "report = true", and the reports are > supposedly being sent to the Master.
