Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet // Puppet Dashboard // PuppetDB

Puppet dashboard doesn't use the puppetdb reports (yet at least), so to get reports into puppet dashboard you need to use the http report handler and set reporturl to point to your puppet dashboard server.

While true, at least in theory, I have the same issue (I had a working report-only dashboard, then installed PuppetDB and now no longer have reports on my dashboard), and I have not modified or removed the report bits of my config. This is my puppet.conf as it sits in production with only some host names changed to protect the innocent :).  Note that PuppetDB works like a champ (I have not yet tackled bringing Inventory into the Dashboard yet -- my goal for PuppetDB was direct query and to serve as source input for Rundeck), and so too did the dashboard prior to the addition of the PuppetDB bits.  Any thoughts?  My Dashboard runs as a passenger rails app and has not been modified at all since PuppetDB was installed.
