Hi, well, do you currently have storeconfigs=true in the master's puppet.conf? Otherwise, you are not storing things yet (and cannot use exported resources).
See also: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.7.0/configuration.html#storeconfigs and try puppet master --configprint all | grep ^store You can most likely just install and configure PuppetDB without risk of loosing any data.
