How to check if module in use.

[Albert Shih]

Hi

During time I've got lot of modules. Some are not use anymore. But how can
I check if a module is use by other ?

If the module got a very strange name it's easy, I can do a

find . -type f -name "*pp" -exec grep -l modulename {} \;

and works fine. But what if the name is very short and common ?

Regards

there is IMHO no easy way to do this.

I've created a (ugly) scripts to query puppetdb to list all used resources of a environment. then another script to create a list of resources out of a file-list. then I can figure out if there are resources/classes/defined types that are not in use anymore.   it won't directly give you the unused modules some indications what is not used anywhere on clients.

I haven’t used it in a couple of years, but puppet-ghostbuster was designed to poll puppetdb as you describe, compare it to the module list, and give you a report of unused modules and classes. https://github.com/camptocamp/puppet-ghostbuster?files=1
