can't view puppetdb dashboard inside foreman, as template is missing

[x4FF3]

hi,

i get following message inside 1.17-rc2 as i try to view the puppetdb-dashboard:

Missing template puppetdb_foreman/puppetdb/index, application/index with {:locale=>[:de, :en], :formats=>[:html], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:raw, :erb, :html, :builder, :ruby, :rabl]}. 
Searched in: * "/usr/share/foreman/app/views" * "/usr/share/foreman/vendor/ruby/2.3.0/gems/puppetdb_foreman-4.0.0/app/views" * "/usr/share/foreman/vendor/ruby/2.3.0/gems/apipie-rails-0.5.6/app/views" 

foreman is installed on a deb9 machine.

Just hit this issue with Foreman 1.17.0 and tfm-rubygem-puppetdb_foreman-4.0.0-1.fm1_17.el7.noarch

@x4FF3, @treydock: I hacked together a possible fix for this in #52. Can you please test this and report back? Thanks.

The dashboard proxying is really a huge hack, therefore I did not spend much time to improve the code. But the functionality should be restored now. Let me know, what you think.

Hey, I expirenced hte smae problem and have applied your fix and it works for me :)

[anthonysomerset]

I applied this fix @timogoebel and at least i get no errors now :)

The PuppetDB Nodes page works fine, however the PuppetDB Dashboard appears to not load anything - this is clean install of PuppetDB and the foreman plugin

Note based on Ubuntu not CentOS

[anthonysomerset]

I note specifically this is because the following static resources are not proxied correctly

http://localhost:8080/pdb/dashboard/d3.v2.js http://localhost:8080/pdb/dashboard/charts.js

as a quick fix i downloaded these files manually into the public directory of my foreman install and things work again

[timogoebel]

@anthonysomerset: Can you send me a screenshot of your Browser's console? Then I can take a look what's wrong. Alternatively, the correct path of the resources in puppetdb would help.

Let me know if you need any more infos for debugging.

Actually, I don't want to maintain the puppetdb dashboard any longer. Proxying this through foreman is a heck of a hack. What do you guys use this for? Maybe we can find a sane alternative to this.

[treydock]

Personally I used the proxied dashboard in Foreman as the way to view the dashboard to just get a sense of things in PuppetDB. I only exposed the non-SSL port for PuppetDB to Foreman server for purposes of viewing the dashboard. If the metrics in dashboard could be accessed via PuppetDB API, then can imagine just building a new dashboard based on those collected values.

[timogoebel]

If the metrics in dashboard could be accessed via PuppetDB API, then can imagine just building a new dashboard based on those collected values.

@treydock: I believe they are exposed via API. Can you name the parameters you'd want to see in the dashboard?

[treydock]

• JVM Heap
• Active Nodes
• Inactive Nodes
• Command Processing (sec/command & command/sec)
• Enqueueing
• Command Persistence
• Collection Queries

The fact they all show as graphs with some amount of history is useful but can imagine would be challenging in Foreman unless this plugin resorted to storing historical metrics in the database in a way they didn't grow infinitely. Having just real-time numbers would still be useful though, especially the timing related metrics and JVM Heap. I don't know enough about the resource duplication and catalog duplication to know their usefulness so left those out of the list.

[HristoMohamed]

Just wanted to let know, that I applied the same fix to Foreman 1.18 and it works there as well.

[alexjfisher]

@timogoebel Did you have any more thoughts on this? Not that I really use this feature much (I've only just noticed it's broken!)

[timogoebel]

@alexjfisher: I believe the best approach would be to drop this feature for now. It's too much of a hack imho.

[alexjfisher]

Sure. Removing the feature is preferable to it being there but broken.
