Add custom PQL queries to the console

Add your own Puppet Query Language (PQL) queries to the console to quickly access them when running jobs.

For help forming queries, go to the PQLReference guide in the Puppet documentation.

  1. On the primary server, copy the custom_pql_queries.json.example file, and remove the .example suffix. For example, you can use this command:
    sudo cp
    /etc/puppetlabs/console-services/custom_pql_queries.json.example 
    /etc/puppetlabs/console-services/custom_pql_queries.json
  2. Edit the file contents to include your own PQL queries or remove any existing queries.
  3. Refresh the console UI in your browser.
Results
You can now see your custom queries in the PQL drop-down options when running jobs.
