NAME

       puppet-report - Create, display, and submit reports.

SYNOPSIS

       puppet report action [--terminus _TERMINUS]

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.

       --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

       info - Print the default terminus class for this face.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report info [--terminus _TERMINUS]

              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.

       save - API only: submit a report.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report save [--terminus _TERMINUS] report

              DESCRIPTION

              API only: create or overwrite an object. As the Faces framework does not  currently
              accept  data  from STDIN, save actions cannot currently be invoked from the command
              line.

              RETURNS

              Nothing.

       submit - API only: submit a report with error handling.
              SYNOPSIS

              puppet report submit [--terminus _TERMINUS] report

              DESCRIPTION

              API only: Submits a report to the puppet  master.  This  action  is  essentially  a
              shortcut  and  wrapper  for  the  save  action with the rest terminus, and provides
              additional details in the event of a failure.

EXAMPLES

       save

       From the implementation of puppet report submit (API example):

       begin Puppet::Transaction::Report.indirection.terminus_class = :rest Puppet::Face[:report,
       "0.0.1"].save(report)  Puppet.notice "Uploaded report for #{report.name}" rescue => detail
       Puppet.log_exception(detail, "Could not send report: #{detail}") end

       submit

       API   example:report   =   Puppet::Face[:catalog,   ´0.0.1´].apply   Puppet::Face[:report,
       ´0.0.1´].submit(report) return report

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:

       •   json

       •   msgpack

       •   processor

       •   rest

       •   yaml
