puppet agent

Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host. More information: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/man/agent.html.

• 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
