PE databases
PE uses PostgreSQL as a database backend. You can use an existing instance, or PE can install and manage a new one.
The PE PostgreSQL instance includes the following databases:
| Database | Description |
|---|---|
| pe-activity | Activity data from the Classifier, including who, what and when |
| pe-classifier | Classification data, all node group information |
| pe-puppetdb | Exported resources, catalogs, facts, and reports (see more, below) |
| pe-rbac | Users, permissions, and AD/LDAP info |
| pe-orchestrator | Details about job runs, users, nodes, and run results |
PuppetDB
PuppetDB collects data generated throughout your Puppet infrastructure. It enables advanced features like exported resources, and is the database from which the various components and services in PE access data. Agent run reports are stored in PuppetDB.
See the PuppetDB overview for more information.
