puppet agent
Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host. More information: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/man/agent.html.
- Register a node at a Puppet server and apply the received catalog:
puppet agent --test --server {{puppetserver_fqdn}} --serverport {{port}} --waitforcert {{poll_time}}
- Run the agent in the background (uses settings from
puppet.conf):
puppet agent
- Run the agent once in the foreground, then exit:
puppet agent --test
- Run the agent in dry-mode:
puppet agent --test --noop
- Log every resource being evaluated (even if nothing is being changed):
puppet agent --test --evaltrace
