So you're looking to put Puppet data and "other data" for other applications in ONE database? That doesn't sound terribly safe...
How is this data getting into the database? What types of functionality do you need? Just something like Dashboard with nodes and groups that can have params and classes? Inheritance? Exclusions? If all you want is a database that stores classes/params for nodes, and uses them on a 1:1 basis, this is a trivial problem and is really just an issue of writing a tool to get data into the database. The "hard" part of an ENC is handling things like groups, multiple inheritance, overrides, exclusions, etc. I'm still not clear on the functionality and interface that you want for this, and I'm also unclear on the distinction between what you call "configuration data", "client data" and "node data". -Jason On 12/06/2013 12:59 PM, Stuart Cracraft wrote: > HI Jason, > > No I have no hesitations at all and yes, I would enjoy seeing your > Postgres code > and learning from it and can share back. > > So the thought here is to have all the configuration data, client > data, node data, in > a Postgres database (the one on the Puppet Master) and used downline > by all the various > Linux apps which need it, including Puppet. > > I take it (hopefully) this is not too unusual and bizarre in the world > of Puppet. > > > On Thursday, December 5, 2013 4:16:10 AM UTC-8, Jason Antman wrote: > > PuppetDB isn't an ENC.
