Discovering hosts

Back on the dashboard, let's go ahead and select Hosts to view a list of all hosts, not narrowed down to specific information. We'll see some basic information displayed about all of these hosts, from the operating system to the uptime of the machine itself:

If we select the hyperlink for any individual node, we'll get a much more useful list of objects to work with, which provides us with detailed information about each host. Each tab will present us with different information:

  • Attributes: The primary attributes used by Puppet Discovery itself, including hostname, DNS name, and operating system details
  • Services: All services on the node, and their current state (running, stopped)
  • Users: All users on the system, and their home directory
  • Groups: All groups available on the system
  • Packages: Each package on the system, their version, and the method used to install them
  • Tags: Any tags listed by the cloud provider
  • Containers: Any containers running on the host system
