--- title: "discovery.puppetdb | Grafana Agent documentation" description: "Learn about discovery.puppetdb" --- # discovery.puppetdb `discovery.puppetdb` allows you to retrieve scrape targets from [PuppetDB](https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/7/overview.html) resources. This SD discovers resources and will create a target for each resource returned by the API. The resource address is the `certname` of the resource, and can be changed during relabeling. The queries for this component are expected to be valid [PQL (Puppet Query Language)](https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/latest/api/query/v4/pql.html). ## Usage Alloy ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy ```alloy discovery.puppetdb "LABEL" { url = PUPPET_SERVER } ``` ## Arguments The following arguments are supported: Expand table | Name | Type | Description | Default | Required | |--------------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|----------| | `url` | `string` | The URL of the PuppetDB root query endpoint. | | yes | | `query` | `string` | Puppet Query Language (PQL) query. Only resources are supported. | | yes | | `include_parameters` | `bool` | Whether to include the parameters as meta labels. Due to the differences between parameter types and Prometheus labels, some parameters might not be rendered. The format of the parameters might also change in future releases. Make sure that you don’t have secrets exposed as parameters if you enable this. | `false` | no | | `port` | `int` | The port to scrape metrics from. | `80` | no | | `refresh_interval` | `duration` | Frequency to refresh targets. | `"30s"` | no | | `bearer_token_file` | `string` | File containing a bearer token to authenticate with. | | no | | `bearer_token` | `secret` | Bearer token to authenticate with. | | no | | `enable_http2` | `bool` | Whether HTTP2 is supported for requests. | `true` | no | | `follow_redirects` | `bool` | Whether redirects returned by the server should be followed. | `true` | no | | `proxy_url` | `string` | HTTP proxy to send requests through. | | no | | `no_proxy` | `string` | Comma-separated list of IP addresses, CIDR notations, and domain names to exclude from proxying. | | no | | `proxy_from_environment` | `bool` | Use the proxy URL indicated by environment variables. | `false` | no | | `proxy_connect_header` | `map(list(secret))` | Specifies headers to send to proxies during CONNECT requests. | | no | At most, one of the following can be provided: - [`bearer_token` argument](#arguments). - [`bearer_token_file` argument](#arguments). - [`basic_auth` block](#basic_auth-block). - [`authorization` block](#authorization-block). - [`oauth2` block](#oauth2-block). `no_proxy` can contain IPs, CIDR notations, and domain names. IP and domain names can contain port numbers. `proxy_url` must be configured if `no_proxy` is configured. `proxy_from_environment` uses the environment variables HTTP\_PROXY, HTTPS\_PROXY and NO\_PROXY (or the lowercase versions thereof). Requests use the proxy from the environment variable matching their scheme, unless excluded by NO\_PROXY. `proxy_url` and `no_proxy` must not be configured if `proxy_from_environment` is configured. `proxy_connect_header` should only be configured if `proxy_url` or `proxy_from_environment` are configured. ## Blocks The following blocks are supported inside the definition of `discovery.puppetdb`: Expand table | Hierarchy | Block | Description | Required | |-------------------------|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|----------| | basic\_auth | [basic\_auth](#basic_auth-block) | Configure basic\_auth for authenticating to the endpoint. | no | | authorization | [authorization](#authorization-block) | Configure generic authorization to the endpoint. | no | | oauth2 | [oauth2](#oauth2-block) | Configure OAuth2 for authenticating to the endpoint. | no | | oauth2 > tls\_config | [tls\_config](#tls_config-block) | Configure TLS settings for connecting to the endpoint. | no | | tls\_config | [tls\_config](#tls_config-block) | Configure TLS settings for connecting to the endpoint. | no | The `>` symbol indicates deeper levels of nesting.

When `min_version` is not provided, the minimum acceptable TLS version is inherited from Go’s default minimum version, TLS 1.2. If `min_version` is provided, it must be set to one of the following strings: - `"TLS10"` (TLS 1.0) - `"TLS11"` (TLS 1.1) - `"TLS12"` (TLS 1.2) - `"TLS13"` (TLS 1.3) ## Exported fields The following fields are exported and can be referenced by other components: Expand table | Name | Type | Description | |-----------|---------------------|----------------------------------------------| | `targets` | `list(map(string))` | The set of targets discovered from puppetdb. | Each target includes the following labels: - `__meta_puppetdb_query`: the Puppet Query Language (PQL) query. - `__meta_puppetdb_certname`: the name of the node associated with the resourcet. - `__meta_puppetdb_resource`: a SHA-1 hash of the resource’s type, title, and parameters, for identification. - `__meta_puppetdb_type`: the resource type. - `__meta_puppetdb_title`: the resource title. - `__meta_puppetdb_exported`: whether the resource is exported (“true” or “false”). - `__meta_puppetdb_tags`: comma separated list of resource tags. - `__meta_puppetdb_file`: the manifest file in which the resource was declared. - `__meta_puppetdb_environment`: the environment of the node associated with the resource. - `__meta_puppetdb_parameter_`: the parameters of the resource. ## Component health `discovery.puppetdb` is only reported as unhealthy when given an invalid configuration. In those cases, exported fields retain their last healthy values. ## Debug information `discovery.puppetdb` does not expose any component-specific debug information. ## Debug metrics `discovery.puppetdb` does not expose any component-specific debug metrics. ## Example This example discovers targets from puppetdb for all the servers that have a specific package defined: Alloy ![Copy code to clipboard](/media/images/icons/icon-copy-small-2.svg) Copy ```alloy discovery.puppetdb "example" { url = "http://puppetdb.local:8080" query = "resources { type = \"Package\" and title = \"node_exporter\" }" port = 9100 } prometheus.scrape "demo" { targets = discovery.puppetdb.example.targets forward_to = [prometheus.remote_write.demo.receiver] } prometheus.remote_write "demo" { endpoint { url = PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL basic_auth { username = USERNAME password = PASSWORD } } } ``` Replace the following: - `PROMETHEUS_REMOTE_WRITE_URL`: The URL of the Prometheus remote\_write-compatible server to send metrics to. - `USERNAME`: The username to use for authentication to the remote\_write API. - `PASSWORD`: The password to use for authentication to the remote\_write API. ## Compatible components `discovery.puppetdb` has exports that can be consumed by the following components: - Components that consume [Targets](../../compatibility/#targets-consumers) > Note > > Connecting some components may not be sensible or components may require further configuration to make the connection work correctly.
