v5.0.0 (2023-07-27)
- Stop setting
SECRET_KEY
value to a random string by default. This has caused issues in deployments with more than one app replica or when the app was restarted.

- Fix broken links in Classes view. PR #868, fixes #816.
- Fix if fact is
None
(default for full node view). PR #908, fixes #907. - Dependencies update.

Very big thanks to Melchior NOGUES who did most of the development for this release!
(4.0.4 was a partially incorrect release. Please use 4.0.5 instead.)

Thanks to Marcel Deglau who contributed to this release!
This is mostly a maintenance release.
The major version is bumped because of:
- dropped support for PuppetDBs < 5.2.0 (Puppet 4 has reached its end-of-life in October 2018),
- dropped support for Python 3.6 (end-of-life in December 2021).
There might be some performance improvements thanks to the upgrade of the core dependencies - Flask, Jinja2, Werkzeug etc.
Additional improvements:
- Set custom user-agent header that will make troubleshooting easier.
- Show user-friendly error message when there's a problem with connecting to the PuppetDB and just zeros instead of HTTP 404 when the PuppetDB is just yet empty (PR #692,
- Add a healthcheck to the Docker image (PR #690),
- Fix Failures view when there are no logs (PR #693).
Thanks to the following contributors of this release: @ArthurWuTW, @jcpunk, @carlosduelo.
- Fixed friendly error message toggle (when there is no env in the URL) (#688).
- Report view improvements:
- show Logs before Events as they are more useful,
- show different, arguably more useful columns in Logs by default,
- allow showing messages in a "friendly" mode (like in Failures view),
- make Logs and Events filterable,
- don't force column sizes for a better, automatic content layout,
- use fixed-width font where it makes more sense,
- Fix mixed up normal and OFFLINE_MODE for Query view.
- Fix auto-resize in radiator view,
- Fix Query tab cannot be disabled on Docker
- Removed unused import in setup.py,
Thanks to the following contributors of this release: @vilhelmprytz, @ldumont, @allan-reynolds.
- Fixed broken PyPI package (#677).
- Made the ToC links work when the README is displayed as the description in PyPI.
Thanks to the following contributors of this release: @Rewerson, @vchepkov.
- Query view improvements:
- Make the result clickable if a certname is in it (#652).
- UX improvements: show the number of results, show a user-friendly error in case of a PQL syntax error, show a warning on empty result, use fixed-width font for matching the query with the possible error message, remove useless 'Cancel' button. (#653).
- Add 'Download as CSV' and 'Download as XLSX' to the results (#654).
- Make the result shareable using URL (#657).
- New Failures view for showing the first error/failed resource for all nodes with a failed puppet run. It can show both "friendly" and raw error messages (#662).
- Sort 'uptime' fact values correctly (#591).
- Visual tweaks (#667).
- Improvements for running with Docker:
- Add missing fonts and icons to the PyPI package (#666).
- Refactoring: split views into separate files (#665).
- Update many dependencies.

v1

- Using limit, order_by and offset parameters adding pagaination on the Reports page (available in the NavBar). Functionality is available to pages that accept a page attribute.
- The report page now directly queries pypuppetdb to match the report_id value with the report hash or configuration_version fields.
- Catching and aborting with a 404 if the report and report_latest function queries do not return a generator object.

status_counts that shows node/report status information, like what is avaiable on the index and nodes pages, available to the reports pages and tables also. - Showing report logs and metrics in the report page.

limit_reports
fromutils.py
because this helper function has been replaced by the limit PuppetDB paging function.
Known Issues
- fact_value pages rendered from JSON valued facts return no results. A more sophisticated API is required to make use of JSON valued facts (through the factsets, fact-paths and/or fact-contents endpoints for example)
- Now requires WTForms versions less than 2.0
- Adding a Flask development server in
dev.py
. - Adding CSRF protection VIA the flask_wtf CsrfProtect object.
- Allowing users to configure the report limit on pages where reports are listed with the LIMIT_REPORTS configuration option.
- Adding an inventory page to users to be able to see all available nodes and a configure lists of facts to display VIA the INVENTORY_FACTS configuration option.
- Adding a page to view a node's catalog information if enabled, disabled by default. Can be changed with the ENABLE_CATALOG configuration attribute.
- New configuration option GRAPH_FACTS allows the user to choose which graphs will generate pie on the fact pages.
- Replacing Chart.js with c3.js and d3.js.
- Adding Semantic UI 0.16.1 and removing unused bootstrap styles.
- Adding an OFFLINE_MODE configuration option to load local assets or from a CDN service. This is useful in environments without internet access.
- Fix the sorting of the different tables containing facts.
- Fix the license in our
setup.py
. The license shouldn't be longer than 200 characters. We were including the full license tripping up tools like bdist_rpm.
This release introduces a few big changes. The most obvious one is the revamped Overview page which has received significant love. Most of the work was done by Julius Härtl. The Nodes tab has been given a slight face-lift too.
Other changes:
- This release depends on the new pypuppetdb 0.1.0. Because of this the SSL configuration options have been changed:
PUPPETDB_SSL
is gone and replaced byPUPPETDB_SSL_VERIFY
which now defaults toTrue
. This only affects connections to PuppetDB that happen over SSL.- SSL is automatically enabled if both
PUPPETDB_CERT
andPUPPETDB_KEY
are provided.
- Display of deeply nested metrics and query results have been fixed.
- Average resources per node metric is now displayed as a natural number.
- A link back to the node has been added to the reports.
- A few issues with reports have been fixed.
- A new setting called
UNRESPONSIVE_HOURS
has been added which denotes the amount of hours after which Puppetboard will display the node as unreported if it hasn't checked in. We default to2
hours. - The event message can now be viewed by clicking on the event.
Puppetboard is now neatly packaged up and available on PyPI. This should significantly help reduce the convoluted installation instructions people had to follow.
Updated installation instructions have been added on how to install from PyPI and how to configure your HTTPD.
In this release we've introduced a few new things. First of all we now require pypuppetdb version 0.0.4 or later which includes support for the v3 API introduced with PuppetDB 1.5.
Because of changes in PuppetDB 1.5 and therefor in pypuppetdb users of the v2 API, regardless of the PuppetDB version, will no longer be able to view reports or events.
In light of this the following settings have been removed:
PUPPETDB_EXPERIMENTAL
Two new settings have been added:
PUPPETDB_API
: an integer, defaulting to3
, representing the API version we want to use.ENABLE_QUERY
: a boolean, defaulting toTrue
, on wether or not to be able to use the Query tab.
We've also added a few new features:
- Thanks to some work done during PuppetConf together with Nick Lewis (from Puppet Labs) we now expose all of PuppetDB's metrics in the Metrics tab. The formatting isn't exactly pretty but it's a start.
- Spencer Krum added the graphing capabilities to the Facts tab.
- Daniel Lawrence added a feature so that facts on the node view are clickable and take you to the complete overview of that fact for your infrastructure and made the nodes in the complete facts list clickable so you can jump to a node.
- Klavs Klavsen contributed some documentation on how to run Puppetboard with Passenger.
