NAME

       puppet-config - Interact with Puppet´s settings.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet config action [--section SECTION_NAME]

DESCRIPTION

       This  subcommand can inspect and modify settings from Puppet´s ´puppet.conf´ configuration
       file.       For       documentation       about       individual       settings,       see
       https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/configuration.html.

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://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/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.

       --section SECTION_NAME
              The section of the puppet.conf configuration file to interact with.

              The three most commonly used sections are ´main´, ´master´, and ´agent´. ´Main´  is
              the  default,  and  is used by all Puppet applications. Other sections can override
              ´main´ values for specific applications --- the  ´master´  section  affects  puppet
              master and puppet cert, and the ´agent´ section affects puppet agent.

              Less  commonly  used  is  the ´user´ section, which affects puppet apply. Any other
              section will be treated as the name of a legacy environment (a deprecated feature),
              and can only include the ´manifest´ and ´modulepath´ settings.

ACTIONS

       delete - Delete a Puppet setting.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet config delete [--section SECTION_NAME] (setting

              DESCRIPTION

              Deletes a setting from the specified section. (The default is the section ´main´).

              NOTES

              By  default,  this  action  deletes  the  configuration  setting  from  the  ´main´
              configuration domain. Use the ´--section´  flags  to  delete  settings  from  other
              configuration domains.

       print - Examine Puppet´s current settings.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet config print [--section SECTION_NAME] (all | setting [setting ...]

              DESCRIPTION

              Prints the value of a single setting or a list of settings.

              This  action  is  an  alternate  interface to the information available with puppet
              <subcommand> --configprint.

              NOTES

              By default, this action reads the general configuration in the ´main´ section.  Use
              the ´--section´ and ´--environment´ flags to examine other configuration domains.

       set - Set Puppet´s settings.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet config set [--section SECTION_NAME] [setting_name] [setting_value]

              DESCRIPTION

              Updates values in the puppet.conf configuration file.

              NOTES

              By  default,  this  action manipulates the configuration in the ´main´ section. Use
              the ´--section´ flag to manipulate other configuration domains.

EXAMPLES

       Delete the setting ´setting_name´ from the ´main´ configuration domain:

       $ puppet config delete setting_name

       Delete the setting ´setting_name´ from the ´master´ configuration domain:

       $ puppet config delete setting_name --section master

       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 --section master | grep -E "(path|dir)"

       set

       Set puppet´s runfile directory:

       $ puppet config set rundir /var/run/puppetlabs

       Set the vardir for only the agent:

       $ puppet config set vardir /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache --section agent
