Getting it running

Code is tested on a fc20, against a remote puppetdb 2.0.0 (puppet 3.6.1) installed on a centos 6.5

due to the hash syntax, ruby version 1.9.3 or better is needed
sudo yum install gcc-c++
`sudo gem install execjs -v 2.0.2
- dashing depends on this version, clashes with coffee-script, which will pull in 2.1.0)
- if new versions are installed, use 'gem uninstall execjs' and remove a;; versions other than v2.0.2
sudo gem install dashing
sudo gem install bundler

Using the provided code

unpack the code
cd <chapter>/puppetdash
bundle install
if not running on the puppetdb
- change all references localhost to puppetdb server host name
dashing start
- A demo dashboard should be available at http://localhost:3030

In jobs/puppet.rb
- convert the local time (Time.now) to UTC using the gmtime method. Timestamps are recorded in UTS in puppetdb
  
  utc_time = Time.now.gmtime time_past = (utc_time - 1800) ftime_now = utc_time.strftime("%FT%T") ftime_past = time_past.strftime("%FT%T")
- Added the puppetdb variable, and adjusted the URI's.
in dashboard/puppet.erb
- the widgets for the changed/pending/failed adjusted for the meter widget (were still number widget)
  
  `
Added in the README.md of the code, that the variable puppetdb='localhost' should be adjusted when using a remote puppetdb
