Puppet users - May 2008 - Removing node from puppet doesn't remove it from Stored Config database

Hi,

I have deleted ''nodes'' from manifest file, but this is not
being
reflected in the Stored Configuration database in Postgres - I can
still see the host in the ''hosts'' table in Pupp.

Is puppet meant to be automatically cleaning up the database?

Regards,

Craig

I think puppet will not auto clean up it. may be you need write some
simple shell script to do this.

It doesn''t automatically, no.  There''s not really a great way
of
telling it that a node went away, because it only stores information  
when a client checks in.  In the meantime here''s a script:

Hope you don''t mind but I added this script to the 
UsingStoredConfiguration page on the wiki.

Unfortunately I get the following error when running it.
      ./kill_node_in_storedconfigs_db.rb:10: undefined method
`settings'' for Puppet:Module (NoMethodError)

I don''t know much about Ruby so couldn''t figure out what the
issue
was.

Note: Using Puppet version 0.23.2

Ah, yeah, just change "settings" to "config", that was a
0.24.x change.
