ppdb(1) Hieracles command manual ppdb(1) NAME ppdb - Command line tool to query puppetdb SYNOPSIS ppdb command [ options ] DESCRIPTION This tool is part of the Hieracles tools suite. PuppetDB stores information gathered by Puppet when nodes run the puppet client. It exposes a very neat REST interface, but its query system can be a little complicated. The purpose of ppdb is to overlay the calls to the REST API and propose a more user-friendly way to query the Puppet Database (puppetdb). Note that this tool is designed to work fine with the version 3 of the Pup- petDB API. Ref http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/2.3/api/ ppdb takes a command, plus extra parameters depending the command. node info <fqdn> will display the equivalent of GET /v3/nodes/<NODE> and takes the node certname as an argument. Optionaly, you can add a filter to limit what fields are dis- played. eg. ppdb node info <fqdn> will display all the fields from the API response eg. ppdb node info <fqdn> time will only display the fields containing time in their la- bel. node facts <fqdn> will display the equivalent of GET /v3/nodes/<NODE>/facts and takes the node certname as an argument. As the result can be verbose, you can add a filter to limit what fields are displayed. eg. ppdb node facts <fqdn> will display all the fields from the API response eg. ppdb node facts <fqdn> memory will only display the fields containing memory in their label. node resources <fqdn> will display the equivalent of GET /v3/nodes/<NODE>/resources and takes the node certname as an argument. You can use res instead of resources for shorter. As the result can be verbose, you can add a filter to limit what resources are displayed. eg. ppdb node res <fqdn> will display all the fields from the API response eg. ppdb node res <fqdn> nagios will only display the fields containing nagios in their label. facts <name> <value> will list all fqdn (aka. certnames) of the nodes having the <name> fact set to <value>. eq. ppdb facts puppet_environment dev same <name> <fqdn> will list all the fqdn having the same value for the fact <name> as <fqdn> has. eq. ppdb same farm node32.example.com resources <queries> res <queries> will list the resources matching a given set of queries. Queries are a combination of statements, with a label, an operator and a value. You can use or to separate one or several statements. If there is no or indicated, the statements follow an and logic. All statements that don't contain an operator or match the or keyword are purely ignored (which makes possible to use the and keyword for mental stability purpose). Operators can be >, <, =, ~ and can be prefixed by a ! to negate them. eq. ppdb res type=Nagios_ghost and tag~api eq. ppdb res tag~api title!~dev eq. ppdb res tag~api or certname~api or title~api factnames will list all the factnames puppetdb knows about. This may be a long list. OPTIONS -v --version outputs version. -f format --format format outputs in the selected format. For now only the json format is available as an alternative to the default console format. FILES ~/.config/hieracles/config.yaml ppdb uses the same configuration file as hieracles, and relies on its information to find the url of the PuppetDB EXAMPLES A typical config file would contain, at minimum: --- puppetdb: usessl: false host: localhost port: 8080 SEE ALSO hiera(1), puppet(8), hc(1) BUGS Please report any bug to https://github.com/Gandi/hieracles/issues AUTHORS Copyright (c) 2015 gandi.net https://gandi.net Hieracles is written by mose@gandi.net https://github.com/Gandi/hieracles version 0.2.1 2015-12-05 ppdb(1)
