View package data collection metadata

The puppet_inventory_metadata fact reports whether package data collection is enabled on a node, and it shows the time spent collecting package data on the node during the last Puppet run.

Before you begin: Make sure you have enabled package data collection for the nodes you want to view.
  1. Click Node groups and select the node group you created when enabling package data collection.
  2. Click Matching nodes and select a node from the list.
  3. On the node's inventory page, click Facts and locate puppet_inventory_metadata in the list.

    The fact value looks something like: 

    {
    "packages" : {
      "collection_enabled" : true,
      "last_collection_time" : "1.9149s"
    }
}
