Felix, Thanks for the information. This answered my question exactly. storeconfigs is not set and when I run the puppet command that you referenced, it showed that storeconfigs was false, only confirming that I am not using them. Good to know. I wanted to make sure before I configured PuppetDB that I wouldn't be overwriting or destroying anything.
Thanks!
