Puppet users - Dec 2009 - Puppet Dashboard 0.0.1 Release Announcement

Greetings Puppeteers,

Reductive Labs and the Puppet Dashboard team (that would be me) are
proud to announce the immediate release of Puppet Dashboard 0.0.1,
codenamed "Enterra". Because the Enterra is a car. And cars have
dashboards. Puppet Dashboard is (or will be) a web front end that keeps you
informed and in control of everything going on in your Puppet
ecosystem. It currently functions as a reporting dashboard and an
external node repository and will soon do much more, including having
better marketing copy.

This release is a minimally functional alpha release targeted
especially at those of you who are interested in playing with a shiny
new tool and helping to shape its further development. As Puppet
Dashboard is under active development, you can expect future releases
to be frequent and driven largely by feedback from the Puppet
community (that would be you).

Code and installation instructions:
http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet-dashboard

Tickets: http://projects.reductivelabs.com/projects/dashboard

I am also available via the puppet-users list and in #puppet on
irc.freenode.net as ReinH for any questions.

First thoughts are that I really quite like it, it''s zippy and clean.

Are you planning to expose storeconfigs data as well? I''d love to at
least be able to see thin_storeconfigs fact/value data for hosts as
well as reports.

(I''ve actually often thought facts would make sense as part of a
report)

It may sound stupid but are there any screen shots to see (at least) 
some of the functionality currently exposed by the dashboard?

Thanks! That''s one of the design goals for the UI. Namely, to get out
of the way and let you see the information that''s important to you.

We''re definitely planning on exposing node facts and other information
in an upcoming release.

Once we have more structured reporting data to work with (which we''re
currently adding to Puppet), we''ll be able to do more interesting and
informative reporting without having to parse log data (which is slow,
inaccurate and bound to be quickly obsoleted).

It doesn''t sound stupid at all. In fact, I''m writing up a blog
post on
the Reductive Labs blog[1] this week to provide screenshots and an
overview of the existing functionality.

Please don''t hesitate to use the Redmine tracker[2] for feature or
enhancement requests and bug reports. We''re definitely interested in
the feedback.

Also, apologies for the double post.

Rein, thanks for the work you''re putting in here; I''ve been
waiting for
an official RL app for this stuff since the dawn of my puppeteering. 
Once I consolidate my stored config DB I will be installing this and 
providing feedback.
