puppet DB for inventory

[vioilly]

I am a little confused :) Couple of questions:

Is the puppet DB the same as the inventory DB ?

If so, can I have all my puppet masters pointing to the same DB and point dashboard at this DB so I can see all my puppet nodes and inventory through one puppet-dashboard?

If not, then what is the difference between the puppet DB and the inventory DB?


Thanks in advance

Cheers,
Oli

If you are using puppetdb backend you just need to enable the dashboard inventory service and it will automatically get the inventory information from puppetdb. No more need to add those mysql settings on puppet.conf for the inventory service.
