puppet agent

Retrieves the client configuration from a Puppet server and applies it to the local host.

• 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
