Description

PUPPET-REPORT(8)                 Puppet manual                PUPPET-REPORT(8)



NAME
       puppet-report - Create, display, and submit reports.

SYNOPSIS
       puppet report action [--terminus _TERMINUS]

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   https://pup-
       pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/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.

       --extra HASH
              A terminus can take additional arguments to  refine  the  opera-
              tion,  which  are  passed  as an arbitrary hash to the back-end.
              Anything passed as the extra value is just send  direct  to  the
              back-end.

       --terminus _TERMINUS
              Indirector  faces  expose indirected subsystems of Puppet. These
              subsystems are each able to retrieve and alter a  specific  type
              of  data  (with  the familiar actions of find, search, save, and
              destroy) from an arbitrary number of pluggable backends. In Pup-
              pet parlance, these backends are called terminuses.

              Almost  all  indirected  subsystems  have  a  rest terminus that
              interacts with the puppet master's data. Most of them have addi-
              tional  terminuses  for  various local data models, which are in
              turn used by the indirected subsystem on the puppet master when-
              ever it receives a remote request.

              The  terminus  for an action is often determined by context, but
              occasionally needs to be set explicitly. See the "Notes" section
              of this face's manpage for more details.

ACTIONS
       info - Print the default terminus class for this face.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report info [--terminus _TERMINUS]

              DESCRIPTION

              Prints the default terminus class for this subcommand. Note that
              different run modes may have different default termini; when  in
              doubt, specify the run mode with the '--run_mode' option.

       save - API only: submit a report.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report save [--terminus _TERMINUS] report

              DESCRIPTION

              API  only: create or overwrite an object. As the Faces framework
              does not currently accept data from STDIN, save  actions  cannot
              currently be invoked from the command line.

              RETURNS

              Nothing.

       submit - API only: submit a report with error handling.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report submit [--terminus _TERMINUS] report

              DESCRIPTION

              API  only: Submits a report to the puppet master. This action is
              essentially a shortcut and wrapper for the save action with  the
              rest terminus, and provides additional details in the event of a
              failure.

EXAMPLES
       save

       From the implementation of puppet report submit (API example):

       begin  Puppet::Transaction::Report.indirection.terminus_class  =  :rest
       Puppet::Face[:report,   "0.0.1"].save(report)  Puppet.notice  "Uploaded
       report  for  #{report.name}"   rescue   =>   detail   Puppet.log_excep-
       tion(detail, "Could not send report: #{detail}") end

       submit

       API   example:report   =   Puppet::Face[:catalog,  '0.0.1'].apply  Pup-
       pet::Face[:report, '0.0.1'].submit(report) return report
