Is this module still being maintained?

hello!
happend to see ya issue and i actually had the same problem!

I assume you don't use puppetDB (as it's by default turned off i've read)
but funny enough, the puppetdb_enabled is sadly still turned on!

See if turning it off in: Administer > PuppetDB > puppetdb_enabled
