Inventory endpoint

The /inventory endpoint provides an alternate and potentially more efficient way to access structured facts as compared to the facts, fact-contents, and factsets endpoints.

/pdb/query/v4/inventory

This will return an array of node inventories matching the given query. Inventories for deactivated nodes are not included in the response.

URL parameters

  • query: optional. A JSON array containing the query in prefix notation (["<OPERATOR>", "<FIELD>", "<VALUE>"]). See the sections below for the supported operators and fields. For general information about queries, see our guide to query structure.

Query fields

  • certname (string): the name of the node associated with the inventory.

  • timestamp (string): the time at which PuppetDB received the facts in the inventory.

  • environment (string): the environment associated with the inventory's certname.

  • facts (json): a JSON hash of fact names to fact values.

  • trusted (json): a JSON hash of trusted data for the node.

Response format

Successful responses will be in application/json.

The result will be a JSON array with one entry per certname. Each entry is of the form:

{
  "certname": <node certname>,
  "timestamp": <timestamp of fact reception>,
  "environment": <node environment>,
  "facts": {
             <fact name>: <fact value>,
             ...
           },
  "trusted": {
               <data name>: <data value>,
               ...
             }
}
