List all hosts

[Daniel Scott]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to list all hosts known by a puppetserver (in puppetdb).

I've been using 'puppet cert list --all', however, this doesn't necessarily correspond to the list of hosts in puppetdb (for example, if I have to rebuild the puppet server, and lose all the certs, but I still have the database).

Is there a 'puppet' command to list all known hosts?

I know that it's possible by running a curl against the puppetdb server itself, but it would be much cleaner if I could just run a command on the puppetserver.

Thanks,

Dan

Install the client tools:

Use PQL to query it:

Hmm, thanks.

That's basically a wrapper around a curl, right?

Probably uses the language native http client but comes down to the same. 

It's cleaner though since you don't have to worry about all the right params and it has a configure etc
