PUPPET-CONFIG(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-CONFIG(8)NAMEpuppet-config - Interact with Puppet´s settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config action [--section SECTION_NAME]
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand can inspect and modify settings from Puppet´s ´pup‐
pet.conf´ configuration file. For documentation about individual set‐
tings, see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configura‐
tion.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.puppet‐
labs.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 appli‐
cations. 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 avail‐
able 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] [set‐
ting_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
