PUPPET-SECRET_AGENT(8)						   Puppet manual					    PUPPET-SECRET_AGENT(8)

NAME

       puppet-secret_agent - Mimics puppet agent.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet secret_agent action

DESCRIPTION

       This subcommand currently functions as a proof of concept, demonstrating how the Faces API exposes Puppet's internal systems to application
       logic; compare the actual code for puppet agent. It will eventually replace puppet agent entirely, and can provide a template for users who
       wish to implement agent-like functionality with non-standard application logic.

OPTIONS

       Note  that  any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be
       relevant to the present action. For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can  specify  --server  <servername>  as	an
       argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
       parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.

       --mode MODE
	      The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.

       --render-as FORMAT
	      The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot
	      are sometimes available.

       --verbose
	      Whether to log verbosely.

       --debug
	      Whether to log debug information.

ACTIONS

       synchronize - Run secret_agent once.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet secret_agent

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Mimics  a single run of puppet agent. This action does not currently daemonize, but can download plugins, submit facts, retrieve and
	      apply a catalog, and submit a report to the puppet master.

	      RETURNS

	      Verbose logging from the completed run. When used from the Ruby API: returns a Puppet::Transaction::Report object.

	      NOTES

	      This action requires that the puppet master's auth.conf file allow save access to the facts REST terminus. Puppet agent does not use
	      this facility, and it is turned off by default. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_auth_conf.html for more details.

EXAMPLES

       synchronize

       Trigger a Puppet run with the configured puppet master:

       $ puppet secret_agent

NAME

       puppet-plugin - Interact with the Puppet plugin system.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet plugin action

DESCRIPTION

       This subcommand provides network access to the puppet master's store of plugins.

       The  puppet  master  serves Ruby code collected from the lib directories of its modules. These plugins can be used on agent nodes to extend
       Facter and implement custom types and providers. Plugins are normally downloaded by puppet agent during the course of a run.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may  not	be
       relevant  to  the  present  action.  For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify --server <servername> as an
       argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
       parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.

       --mode MODE
	      The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.

       --render-as FORMAT
	      The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot
	      are sometimes available.

       --verbose
	      Whether to log verbosely.

       --debug
	      Whether to log debug information.

ACTIONS

       download - Download plugins from the puppet master.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet plugin download

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Downloads plugins from the configured puppet master. Any plugins downloaded in this way will be used in all subsequent Puppet activ-
	      ity. This action modifies files on disk.

	      RETURNS

	      A list of the files downloaded, or a confirmation that no files were downloaded. When used from the Ruby API, this action returns an
	      array of the files downloaded, which will be empty if none were retrieved.

EXAMPLES

       download

       Retrieve plugins from the puppet master:

       $ puppet plugin download
