Title: Message Title

Josh Cooper created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8967 Use status endpoint to determine if puppetserver is reachable Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/06/26 10:26 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Josh Cooper When the agent has a server_list it makes a node request to find the first available server. The node request will cause a puppetdb query to retrieve node and fact information, which is expensive and unnecessary. It would be better to just hit the status endpoint: GET /puppet/v3/status/foo?environment=production HTTP/1.0 Accept: application/json   HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 05:25:42 GMT Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8 X-Puppet-Version: 6.0.0 Vary: Accept-Encoding, User-Agent Content-Length: 35 Server: Jetty(9.4.4.v20170414)   {"is_alive":true,"version":"6.0.0"} Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
