Problem

How to use the puppet agent command: Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host. More information: <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/main/references/man/agent.md>.

Solution

puppet agent — Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host. More information: <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/main/references/man/agent.md>.

Register a node at a Puppet server and apply the received catalog:
puppet agent --test --server {{puppetserver_fqdn}} --serverport {{port}} --waitforcert {{poll_time}}


Run the agent in the background (uses settings from puppet.conf):
puppet agent


Run the agent once in the foreground, then exit:
puppet agent --test


Run the agent in dry-mode:
puppet agent --test --noop


Log every resource being evaluated (even if nothing is being changed):
puppet agent --test --evaltrace


Disable the agent:
puppet agent --disable "{{message}}"


Enable the agent:
puppet agent --enable
