This is the changelog for Puppetboard.
- Fix the sorting of the different tables containing facts.
- Fix the license in our
setup.py
. The license shouldn't be longer than 200 characters. We were including the full license tripping up tools like bdist_rpm.
This release introduces a few big changes. The most obvious one is the revamped Overview page which has received significant love. Most of the work was done by Julius Härtl. The Nodes tab has been given a slight face-lift too.
Other changes:
- This release depends on the new pypuppetdb 0.1.0. Because of this the SSL
configuration options have been changed:
PUPPETDB_SSL
is gone and replaced byPUPPETDB_SSL_VERIFY
which now defaults toTrue
. This only affects connections to PuppetDB that happen over SSL.- SSL is automatically enabled if both
PUPPETDB_CERT
andPUPPETDB_KEY
are provided.
- Display of deeply nested metrics and query results have been fixed.
- Average resources per node metric is now displayed as a natural number.
- A link back to the node has been added to the reports.
- A few issues with reports have been fixed.
- A new setting called
UNRESPONSIVE_HOURS
has been added which denotes the amount of hours after which Puppetboard will display the node as unreported if it hasn't checked in. We default to2
hours. - The event message can now be viewed by clicking on the event.
Puppetboard is now neatly packaged up and available on PyPi. This should significantly help reduce the convoluted installation instructions people had to follow.
Updated installation instructions have been added on how to install from PyPi and how to configure your HTTPD.
In this release we've introduced a few new things. First of all we now require pypuppetdb version 0.0.4 or later which includes support for the v3 API introduced with PuppetDB 1.5.
Because of changes in PuppetDB 1.5 and therefor in pypuppetdb users of the v2 API, regardless of the PuppetDB version, will no longer be able to view reports or events.
In light of this the following settings have been removed:
PUPPETDB_EXPERIMENTAL
Two new settings have been added:
PUPPETDB_API
: an integer, defaulting to3
, representing the API version we want to use.ENABLE_QUERY
: a boolean, defaulting toTrue
, on wether or not to be able to use the Query tab.
We've also added a few new features:
- Thanks to some work done during PuppetConf together with Nick Lewis (from Puppet Labs) we now expose all of PuppetDB's metrics in the Metrics tab. The formatting isn't exactly pretty but it's a start.
- Spencer Krum added the graphing capabilities to the Facts tab.
- Daniel Lawrence added a feature so that facts on the node view are clickable and take you to the complete overview of that fact for your infrastructure and made the nodes in the complete facts list clickable so you can jump to a node.
- Klavs Klavsen contributed some documentation on how to run Puppetboard with Passenger.
