Keep PE PostgreSQL database size maintained with the puppetlabs-pe_databases module for Puppet Enterprise

The puppetlabs-pe_databases module runs pg_repack on your PE PostgreSQL database on a regular basis to reclaim database space that is no longer being used. If your database is too large, this might help reduce its size and improve database performance.

If you need to back up the database, use the steps in the PE backup and restore documentation.
