I''d like to start using exported resources, so I see I need to turn on stored configurations. I''m already running the inventory service, and it looks like there is a certain degree of overlap between what the inventory db is storing and what stored configs is storing - at least as far as host facts goes. Is there some plan to unify these two services? It seems wasteful to store host facts in two places. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hopefully in the Telly timeframe we can have something better, but we don''t have a concrete date on the roadmap yet. -- Daniel Pittman ⎋ Puppet Labs Developer – http://puppetlabs.com ♲ Made with 100 percent post-consumer electrons -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: Exported resources and inventory service?
I guess I''ll find out on my own soon enough, but can I at least pre- populate the stored configs database using some of the tables within the inventory service? Do the host facts tables in the inventory database mimic what you end up creating with stored configs? It would be great if I could just dump the facts stuff out of the inventory db and bootstrap the stored configs database with it so I don''t have the pain of initial population.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Exported resources and inventory service?
The fact data is the same, but copying it into the StoreConfigs database won''t make any different to initial performance getting it populated. The catalog data is not duplicated between the two, and is only in StoreConfigs. That is the heavier part of the data, and you can''t do anything other than let node catalog compilation fill that out.
