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

              NOTES

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