PuppetDB / PDB-4877 Prefer JSON fact terminus for fact cache to YAML Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/09/02 11:07 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Justin Stoller We currently recommend users configure the YAML fact cache when enabling PDB (and we do this configuration for them in PE). We are currently adding a JSON terminus for facts (see PUP-10656) and in Puppet 7 we should switch to enabling it (if we enable any fact caching). Add Comment

Re: Prefer JSON fact terminus for fact cache to YAML See https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppetdb/blob/master/manifests/master/routes.pp#L10. I don't know if anything needs to change in the puppetdb terminus itself. Perhaps just documentation?

Re: Prefer JSON fact terminus for fact cache to YAML

One gotcha to watch out for is that symbols are not preserved when round-tripped through JSON. I assume that will not bite us with facts (since the agent sends them as JSON by default on the wire), but it did bite us on the agent when storing resource parameter names in its transactionstore cache, such as :ensure.

This looks like a dup of PDB-4945, so I'm going to close it.
