puppet agent

Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host. More information: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/man/agent.html.

  puppet agent --test --server {{puppetserver_fqdn}} --serverport {{port}} --waitforcert {{poll_time}}
   
• Run the agent in the background (uses settings from puppet.conf):
   
  puppet agent
   
• Run the agent once in the foreground, then exit:
   
  puppet agent --test
   
• Run the agent in dry-mode:
   
  puppet agent --test --noop
   
• Log every resource being evaluated (even if nothing is being changed):
   
  puppet agent --test --evaltrace
   
• Disable the agent:
   
  puppet agent --disable "{{message}}"
   
• Enable the agent:
   
  puppet agent --enable
