Advanced Puppet Configuration

The splunk_hec module also supports customizing the facts_terminus and facts_cache_terminus names in the custom splunk_hec_routes.yaml it deploys. If you are using a different facts_terminus (i.e. not PuppetDB), you will want to configure that parameter.

If you are already using a custom routes.yaml, these are the equivalent instructions of what the splunk_hec module does, the most important setting is configuring cache: splunk_hec.

• Create a custom splunk_hec_routes.yaml file to override where facts are cached:

  ---
  master:
    facts:
      terminus: puppetdb
      cache: splunk_hec

• Set this routes file instead of the default one with the following command:
  • puppet config set route_file /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/splunk_hec_routes.yaml --section master
