Enabling the Infra Assistant

The Puppet Enterprise Infra Assistant is an AI-powered natural language interface for exploring infrastructure data. It enables you to ask free-form questions about your environment and receive responses based on data from the Puppet Enterprise APIs.

Before you begin: Before you begin enabling the PE Infra Assistant, you will need the following:
  • A Puppet Enterprise Advanced license with Infra Assistant enabled. Contact your Puppet Enterprise (PE) administrator or Contact our sales team to acquire a license and enable this feature.
  • A user with the Infra Assistant Administrator role assigned and the Plans:Run permission to enable the assistant.
