NAME

       puppet-status - View puppet server status.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet status action [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]

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://puppet.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 operation, 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
              Puppet 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 additional  terminuses  for  various  local
              data  models,  which  are  in  turn  used by the indirected subsystem on the puppet
              master whenever 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] [--extra HASH] [key]

              DESCRIPTION

              Checks whether a Puppet server is properly receiving and processing 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 --masterport 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://puppet.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] [--extra HASH]

              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

NOTES

       This  subcommand  is  an  indirector  face,  which exposes find, search, save, and destroy
       actions for an indirected subsystem of Puppet. Valid termini for this face include:
