Troubleshooting the databases

Use these strategies to troubleshoot issues with the databases that support the console.

Common issues include:

• The PostgreSQL database takes up too much space
• PostgreSQL buffer memory causes installation to fail
• Port conflicts, such as: The PuppetDB default port conflicts with another service
• Incorrect puppet apply configuration, for example: puppet resource generates Ruby errors after connecting puppet apply to PuppetDB.
• In unmanaged PostgreSQL installations, you are not on the latest supported version of PostgreSQL. For upgrade instructions, refer to Upgrade an unmanaged PostgreSQL installation.
