Impact

The impact of detecting the PuppetDB dashboard is primarily informational. It helps users understand whether the dashboard is accessible and provides insights into the presence of PuppetDB in the environment.

How does the module work?

The module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/pdb/dashboard/index.html" path. It then applies two matching conditions to determine if the PuppetDB dashboard is present:

- The first condition checks if the response body contains the phrase "PuppetDB: Dashboard". - The second condition verifies that the response status is 200 (OK).

If both conditions are met, the module reports the detection of the PuppetDB dashboard.

Example HTTP request:

GET /pdb/dashboard/index.html

Matching conditions:

- Response body must contain the phrase "PuppetDB: Dashboard". - Response status must be 200 (OK).
