PUPPET-CONFIG(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-CONFIG(8)
NAME
puppet-config - Interact with Puppet's settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config action [--section SECTION_NAME]
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand can inspect and modify settings from Puppet's
'puppet.conf' configuration file. For documentation about individual
settings, see
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html.
OPTIONS
Note that any setting 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 and run_mode are valid settings, so
you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> 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.
--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.
--section SECTION_NAME
The section of the puppet.conf configuration file to interact
with.
The three most commonly used sections are 'main', 'master', and
'agent'. 'Main' is the default, and is used by all Puppet
applications. Other sections can override 'main' values for
specific applications --- the 'master' section affects puppet
master and puppet cert, and the 'agent' section affects puppet
agent.
Less commonly used is the 'user' section, which affects puppet
apply. Any other section will be treated as the name of a legacy
environment (a deprecated feature), and can only include the
'manifest' and 'modulepath' settings.
ACTIONS
print - Examine Puppet's current settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config print [--section SECTION_NAME] (all | setting
[setting ...]
DESCRIPTION
Prints the value of a single setting or a list of settings.
This action is an alternate interface to the information
available with puppet <subcommand> --configprint.
NOTES
By default, this action reads the general configuration in the
'main' section. Use the '--section' and '--environment' flags to
examine other configuration domains.
set - Set Puppet's settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config set [--section SECTION_NAME] [setting_name]
[setting_value]
DESCRIPTION
Updates values in the puppet.conf configuration file.
NOTES
By default, this action manipulates the configuration in the
'main' section. Use the '--section' flag to manipulate other
configuration 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 --section master | grep -E "(path|dir)"
set
Set puppet's runfile directory:
$ puppet config set rundir /var/run/puppetlabs
Set the vardir for only the agent:
$ puppet config set vardir /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache --section agent
