Puppet Labs, home of Puppet, the open source leader in data center automation, today announced a new version of its Puppet Dashboard, the web interface and reporting tool for Puppet installation. Key upgrades include enhanced data visualization and reporting indexes that dramatically improve the speed of requests.

“To effectively control and manage today’s complex data center environments, IT managers require more informative, visually appealing management tools that allow them to understand everything that’s happening in the system,” said Rein Henrichs, lead developer of Puppet Dashboard at Puppet Labs. “We are continuing to improve the Puppet Dashboard and make upgrades that help customers gain access to information faster, enhance their real-time reporting capabilities, and improve the overall user experience.”

Puppet Dashboard facilitates management and configuration tasks that give users a quick visual snapshot of everything that’s taking place in their system. With the latest version users can review the status of recent runs, failure percentages, and an activity feed of recent changes to nodes in their system. The user interface allows customers to configure nodes using parameters, classes and groups for use as an external nodes tools, and monitor the status of nodes through real-time reporting and versioned change tracking.
