Puppetdb dies at random / silently

If you ever have it that the connection to puppet-db is refused or you find the daemon died.

Even if trawling through the puppetdb logs reveal nothing.

It might be that PuppetDB is running out of heap? Check
/var/log/puppetdb for the presence of the  file 'puppetdb-oom.hprof' for an indication that this is happening.

You may find the following to help.
