Removing old node from puppetdb

Question

Running Puppet Server open source with Puppet DB 4.8

I recently changed the name of one of my servers and now have two instances of the same machine on puppetdb. I am trying to remove the NODE by performing the following command:

puppet node deactivate old.server..co.uk

but it fails with an error:

Error: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed: [certificate revoked for /CN=puppetdbserver]
Error: Try 'puppet help node deactivate' for usage

I have verified that the puppetdb server can successfully connect back to the puppet server by running puppet agent -t on puppets server and all seems fine. Plus puppetdb is actively being updated by my puppetserver.

Solution

You can try to delete from direct database. I founded a link where say to how delete node from catalog.
