Puppet metrics collector

The Puppet metrics collector can help troubleshoot performance issues with Puppet Enterprise (PE) components.

The Puppet metrics collector is packaged in a module that is installed with PE. By default, the module collects Puppet services metrics and does not collect system metrics. You can enable and disable metrics collection by setting Boolean values for these parameters.

  • puppet_enterprise::enable_metrics_collection
  • puppet_enterprise::enable_system_metrics_collection
If you have a version of the puppetlabs-puppet_metrics_collector module, from the Forge or other sources, specified in the code, you must remove this version before upgrading to allow the version bundled with PE to be asserted.
