NAME

       puppet-inspect - Send an inspection report

SYNOPSIS

       Prepares and submits an inspection report to the puppet master.

USAGE

       puppet inspect [--archive_files] [--archive_file_server]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command uses the cached catalog from the previous run of ´puppet agent´ to determine
       which attributes of which resources  have  been  marked  as  auditable  with  the  ´audit´
       metaparameter.  It  then examines the current state of the system, writes the state of the
       specified resource attributes to a report, and submits the report to the puppet master.

       Puppet inspect does not run as a daemon, and must be run manually or from cron.
