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://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/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://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.

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

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

       print

       Get puppet´s runfile directory:

       $ puppet config print rundir

       set

       Set puppet´s runfile directory:

       $ puppet config set rundir /var/run/puppetlabs
