puppet-secret_agent
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
