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 and run_mode are valid configuration parameters, 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.

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 ´--run_mode´ and ´--environment´ flags to examine 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 --run_mode master | grep -E "(path|dir)"
