Puppet dashboard not enabling inventory

[Luke]

Hello,

My puppet dashboard is not enabling the inventory tab / node info even though I have:

enable_inventory_service set to true

Pointing to correct port for puppetdb and server in settings.yml.

Everything is wide open in auth.conf and puppetdb is working fine.

I mean regardless of what settings are set shouldn't I at least be able to see the inventory tab if enable_inventory_service is set to true?

Using dashboard 1.2.17.

Thanks for all the help!

Luke

I should point out that I restarted the dashboard service after making changes.

Has anyone else successfully got the puppet dashboard working with dashboard version 1.2.17 with puppet 3?

Yes if you mean the one on top of the screen

If you click on a node when it's not configured correctly it shows;

Inventory

Could not retrieve facts from inventory service: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

>>Pointing to correct port for puppetdb and server in settings.yml

my inventory_server & inventory_port parameters points to <puppetmaster server> <puppetmaster port 8140>

Yes on rhel63 with

puppet 3.0.2

puppet dashboard 1.2.18

puppetdb 1.0.5

Thank you for your reply.

I am confused as to why it is not working then. I have this set exactly like this in my settings:

enable_inventory_service: true

It is like it isn't recognizing this setting. I have updated my dashboard to the same version as you with no change.

As Stefan said you need to point it to your puppet master not your puppetdb server.

I think I found the problem:

** SettingsReader - Loading settings from file config/settings.yml. Using default values for unspecified settings "ca_certificate_path", "ca_crl_path", "ca_port", "ca_server", "certificate_path", "classes_per_page", "cn_name", "custom_logo_alt_text", "custom_logo_height", "custom_logo_url", "custom_logo_width", "daily_run_history_length", "date_format", "datetime_format", "disable_legacy_report_upload_url", "enable_inventory_service", "enable_read_only_mode", "file_bucket_port", "file_bucket_server", "groups_per_page", "inventory_port", "inventory_server", "key_length", "no_longer_reporting_cutoff", "nodes_per_page", "private_key_path", "public_key_path", "reports_per_page", "use_external_node_classification", and "use_file_bucket_diffs

For whatever reason it is not using my /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config/settings.yml. I can put whatever in for my settings and it just keeps using the defaults. I checked and made sure that puppet-dashboard is the owner of the file.

Anyway to force it to use my settings and not the defaults?

[Stefan Heijmans]

on what OS are you, read that for instance debian uses a different location for config files

[Luke]

Centos 6.3

[Luke]

Should point out that SELinux, firewall etc is all turned off.

[Stefan Heijmans]

And if you create new settings.yml from settings.yml.example. Seems like like settings_reader.rb falls back to setings.yml.example if parameters are not correct in settings.yml. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14371
Or enable inventory in settings.yml.example?

[Luke]

Ah figured out the problem. Not sure why this caused the issue but I had copied my http conf stuff out of a template and forgot to update the ServerName with the correct name after correcting this and restarting httpd and the dashboard it corrected the issue.

Thanks for the help guys!

Hi,

 

A point about dashboard has been said in this post flow:

 

Puppet dashboard may be deprecated ?

Could someone of Puppet Lab gives some information about that ?

Ok thanks

 

I think that a dashboard is a great things, I will look to foreman even if inventory seems missing in foreman.

Not sure what you mean by that - we get plenty of inventory in foreman :)
