 =============
 The following instructions will help you configure Puppetboard and your HTTPD.
 
+Puppet
+------
+Puppetboard is built completely around PuppetDB which means your environment
+needs to be configured `to do that`_.
+
+In order to get the reports to show up in Puppetboard you need to configure
+your environment to store those reports in PuppetDB. Have a look at
+`the documentaiton`_ about this, specifically the *Enabling report storage*
+section.
