puppet-apply - Apply Puppet manifests locally
Applies a standalone Puppet manifest to the local system.
puppet apply [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug]
[-v|--verbose] [-e|--execute] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-L|--loadclasses]
[-l|--logdest syslog|eventlog|ABS FILEPATH|console] [--noop]
[--catalog catalog] [--write-catalog-summary] file
This is the standalone puppet execution tool; use it to apply
individual manifests.
When provided with a modulepath, via command line or config file,
puppet apply can effectively mimic the catalog that would be served by
puppet master with access to the same modules, although there are some
subtle differences. When combined with scheduling and an automated system
for pushing manifests, this can be used to implement a serverless Puppet
site.
Most users should use ´puppet agent´ and
´puppet master´ for site-wide manifests.
Note that any setting that´s valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument. For example, ´tags´ is a
valid setting, so you can specify ´--tags
class,tag´ 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´.
- ○
- --debug: Enable full debugging.
- ○
- --detailed-exitcodes: Provide extra information about the run via exit
codes. If enabled, ´puppet apply´ will use the following
exit codes:
- 0: The run succeeded with no changes or failures; the system was already
in the desired state.
- 1: The run failed.
- 2: The run succeeded, and some resources were changed.
- 4: The run succeeded, and some resources failed.
- 6: The run succeeded, and included both changes and failures.
- ○
- --help: Print this help message
- ○
- --loadclasses: Load any stored classes. ´puppet agent´
caches configured classes (usually at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/classes.txt),
and setting this option causes all of those classes to be set in your
puppet manifest.
- ○
- --logdest: Where to send log messages. Choose between
´syslog´ (the POSIX syslog service),
´eventlog´ (the Windows Event Log), ´console´,
or the path to a log file. Defaults to ´console´.
- A path ending with ´.json´ will receive structured output in
JSON format. The log file will not have an ending ´]´
automatically written to it due to the appending nature of logging. It
must be appended manually to make the content valid JSON.
- ○
- --noop: Use ´noop´ mode where Puppet runs in a no-op or
dry-run mode. This is useful for seeing what changes Puppet will make
without actually executing the changes.
- ○
- --execute: Execute a specific piece of Puppet code
- ○
- --test: Enable the most common options used for testing. These are
´verbose´, ´detailed-exitcodes´ and
´show_diff´.
- ○
- --verbose: Print extra information.
- ○
- --catalog: Apply a JSON catalog (such as one generated with ´puppet
master --compile´). You can either specify a JSON file or pipe in
JSON from standard input.
- ○
- --write-catalog-summary After compiling the catalog saves the resource
list and classes list to the node in the state directory named classes.txt
and resources.txt
