NAME

octocatalog-diff - Compile and compare Puppet catalogs

SYNOPSIS

octocatalog-diff [options]

DESCRIPTION

octocatalog-diff is a tool to detect and display differences in Puppet catalogs compiled from different environments. The catalogs may be obtained through any of the following means:

•
Compilation using a local puppet instance
•
Puppet master 3.x/4.x HTTP API
•
PuppetDB HTTP API
•
Precompiled JSON catalogs

octocatalog-diff filters out attributes or resources with no effect (e.g. tags) and displays only state differences between the two catalogs. It does not require a working Puppet master (or puppetserver), making it suitable for development use and use in Continuous Integration environments.

USAGE

For a list of all available options, please consult the output of octocatalog-diff --help. Usage examples are available under /usr/share/doc/octocatalog-diff.
