Description

PUPPET-STATUS(8)                 Puppet manual                PUPPET-STATUS(8)



NAME
       puppet-status - View puppet server status.

SYNOPSIS
       puppet status 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
       find - Check status of puppet master server.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet status [--terminus _TERMINUS] [key]

              DESCRIPTION

              Checks  whether  a  Puppet server is properly receiving and pro-
              cessing HTTP requests. This action is only useful when used with
              '--terminus  rest';  when  invoked with the local terminus, find
              will always return true.

              Over REST, this action will query the configured  puppet  master
              by default. To query other servers, including puppet agent nodes
              started with  the  --listen  option,  you  can  set  the  global
              --server and --serverport options on the command line; note that
              agent nodes listen on port 8139.

              RETURNS

              A "true" response or a low-level  connection  error.  When  used
              from the Ruby API: returns a Puppet::Status object.

              NOTES

              This action requires that the server's auth.conf file allow find
              access to the status REST terminus. Puppet agent  does  not  use
              this facility, and it is turned off by default. See https://pup-
              pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/config_file_auth.html    for     more
              details.

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

              puppet status 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.

EXAMPLES
       find

       Check the status of the configured puppet master:

       $ puppet status find --terminus rest
