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

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

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

and ´--environment´ flags to examine other configuration domains.
