Identify operational issues affecting infrastructure nodes

Puppet Enterprise (PE) includes the pe_status_check module, which performs regular automatic checks on infrastructure nodes to identify issues that could cause disruption to PE operations. The Operational status page in the console summarizes the result of status checks from the last puppet agent run and lists any operational issues affecting infrastructure nodes in your installation.

If you previously installed the pe_status_check module from the Forge or specified a version in your Puppetfile, ensure that you remove the previously installed version. This allows the latest version bundled with PE to be asserted.

The Operational status page displays the results of the latest status checks for the primary server and, where applicable to your installation, any of the following infrastructure nodes:

  • The primary server replica
  • PE compilers
  • Legacy compilers
  • Database servers (PostgreSQL nodes)
