Puppet data source

Puppet is a tool produced by Puppet that is used for software configuration management.

The Puppet data source uses an API connection to bring data into Data Manager.

Before you begin, ensure the Puppet source is API‑enabled with appropriate firewall rules in place and that credentials are available.

How do I connect this tool to Data Manager?

1. Gather all of the Data Manager type information, including the data source name, short display name, and the data source type.

2. Gather the Puppet fields – this may require consultation with the Puppet subject matter expert (SME).

3. In Data Manager, add a new data source by selecting the tool you which to connect and configure with all the gathered information.

Each time this data source is fetched the data becomes raw data.

Data Manager fields

You need to specify the following information from Data Manager:

• Data source name – the name of the data source used to run, transform, map, cleanse, and import the data.

• Short display name – a unique name as a data source label.

• Data source type – what type of data the tool is providing. For example, Assets, CMDB, user location.
