Monitoring infrastructure state

When nodes fetch their configurations from the primary server, they send back inventory data and a report of their run. This information is summarized on the Status page in the console.

The Status page displays the most recent run status of each of your nodes so you can quickly find issues and diagnose their causes. You can also use this page to gather essential information about your infrastructure at a glance, such as how many nodes your primary server is managing, and whether any nodes are unresponsive.

The Status page describes the outcome of Puppet runs on nodes in your infrastructure. This is different from the status of your overall Puppet Enterprise (PE) installation. To understand the status of your installation as a whole, use Puppet Enterprise metrics and status monitoring.
