NB: The following examples where done on Puppet Enterprise 3.0. Should be similar for OS versions, except for some file locations.

Logging into the PuppetDB PostgresQL database on Linux

The easiest way to snoop around in de actual PuppetDB postgres database is using the command prompt. You have to be the peadmin user though. Couldn't get it working just under root.

[root@master bin]# sudo su - pe-postgres -s /bin/bash
-bash-4.1$ /opt/puppet/bin/psql
psql (9.2.4)
Type "help" for help.

pe-postgres=# \c pe-puppetdb
You are now connected to database "pe-puppetdb" as user "pe-postgres".
pe-puppetdb=#
