I'm attempting to install PuppetDB but I'm running into an issue when executing puppet -t. I'm getting: 

Error: Cached facts for puppet.asc.ohio-state.edu failed: Could not find terminus
puppetdb for indirection facts

I've installed the puppet-terminus package so I'm not certain what the issue is. Anyone know how to debug/solve this?

  • Your puppet master process is having problems connecting to PuppetDB. Have you completed the steps in [this doc](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/latest/connect_puppet_master.html)? – Shane Madden Dec 26 '14 at 18:15
  • @ShaneMadden Yes, I've followed that doc but to no avail. – Kyle Decot Dec 26 '14 at 19:45
  • Oddly it seems to work when running `puppet agent -t` on other nodes. The only issue is when it's run on the `puppet` node itself (where the master/puppetdb are also located). Any ideas @ShaneMadden' – Kyle Decot Dec 26 '14 at 21:44
  • Oh - what's your puppet.conf look like on that node? Likely some bit of config in the `[main]` block that needs to be in `[master]` only. – Shane Madden Dec 27 '14 at 06:50
  • I just had this issue on FreeBSD where they've just removed the Puppet 6 packages in favour of Puppet 7. The deleted answer gave me the hint I needed - I had to also upgrade the `puppetdb-terminus` package. – Alnitak Jul 11 '22 at 14:44

If the puppet agent -t works on other nodes but the puppet server itself, then make sure that which puppet points to the right puppet binary file, if you have 2 puppet agent versions installed for example, you are more likely to have this issue.
