12/15/2022, 9:57 AMyou can also query puppetdb for all used classes and check which classes you have, and diff that. I hacked a script for that together some time ago

12/15/2022, 10:25 AMThere are some caveats to checking for unused modules by looking for classes, if a module provides facts or resources for instance. using the class method STDLIB may look like a dead module, when infact its probably all over the code base

12/19/2022, 6:54 PMThe PE Classifier has an API endpoint that will list out all classes across all environments:
https://puppet.com/docs/pe/2021.7/classes_endpoint.html#classes_endpoint
Could diff that against the PuppetDB output for which classes are in node catalogs.

12/19/2022, 6:56 PMIf there are modules that only provide Defined Types, Tasks, or Plans, a method that just compares Classes will show them as "unused".
