puppet-config(8)
NAME
puppet-config - Interact with Puppets settings.
SYNOPSIS
puppet config action [--section SECTION_NAME]
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand can inspect and modify settings from Puppets puppet.conf configuration file. For documentation about individual settings, see https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html.
OPTIONS
Note that any setting thats 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
https://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 Puppets 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 Puppets 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 puppets runfile directory: $ puppet config print rundir Get a list of important directories from the masters config: $ puppet config print all --section master | grep -E "(path|dir)" set Set puppets 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
