No subname set in the "database" config

[Spriya]

Hi,

I am trying to setup new open source puppetmaster and database. And i am seeing this error

Feb 12 17:1***** puppetdb[59445]: No subname set in the "database" config.

And i have the configuration file in 

cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppetdb.conf

[main]

server_urls = https://********:8081

[global]

vardir = /var/lib/puppetdb

logging-config = /var/lib/puppetdb/logback.xml

[database]

subname = //localhost:5432/puppetdb

[puppetdb]

certificate-allowlist = /etc/puppetlabs/puppetdb/ssl/ca.pem

disable-update-checking = false

[jetty]

port = 8080

Please guide me

Hi Spriya,

are you managing puppetdb with puppetdb module?
https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/latest/install_via_module.html

node <hostname> {
# Configure puppetdb and its underlying database
class { 'puppetdb': }
# Configure the Puppet master to use puppetdb
class { 'puppetdb::master::config': }
}

This should take care on proper config.
Also note, that there are two config files: one for puppet (to make Puppet aware of puppetdb) and one for puppetdb itself.
Config for Puppet is in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/pupeptdb.conf
Config for PupeptDB is spread over multiple files in /etc/puppetlabs/puppetdb/conf.d directory.

Maybe you missed the config in the puppetdb conf.d directory.

hth,
Martin
