Hi Luke, thanks for reply. I'm already using (thin) storeconfigs, and I would prefer to avoid deleting the currently stored data just to inizialize a clean db schema (I think the inventory service uses extra tables). There are 2 reasons why I'd prefer to avoid trashing stored configs data, even if I know that everything will be recreated: - First time data is stored, afaik, it make much more sql queries and this could kill the (production) puppetmaster. - Store confis are used in monitoring systems and it would take a bit of time to reach convergence.
None of them are really blocking reasons, since we can work around them, but since I suppose is just a matter of creating some empty tables to store inventory data I would prefer a less disruptive approach. Still, and I ask to Brice or other storeconfigs/inventory experts, if you think it would be better to clean up everything from scrath, I could follow that path.
