PUPPET-CONFIG(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-CONFIG(8)
NAME
puppet-config - Interact with Puppet's configuration options.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config action
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
print - Examine Puppet's current configuration settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config print (all | setting [setting ...]
DESCRIPTION
Prints the value of a single configuration option or a list of configuration options.
This action is an alternate interface to the information available with puppet <subcommand> --configprint.
RETURNS
A single value when called with one config setting, and a list of settings and values when called with multiple options or "all."
NOTES
By default, this action reads the configuration in agent mode. Use the '--mode' and '--environment' flags to examine other configu-
ration domains.
EXAMPLES
print
Get puppet's runfile directory:
$ puppet config print rundir
Get a list of important directories from the master's config:
$ puppet config print all --mode master | grep -E "(path|dir)"
