PUPPET-CATALOG(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-CATALOG(8) NAME puppet-catalog - Compile, save, view, and convert catalogs. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog action [--terminus _TERMINUS] DESCRIPTION This subcommand deals with catalogs, which are compiled per-node arti- facts generated from a set of Puppet manifests. By default, it inter- acts with the compiling subsystem and compiles a catalog using the de- fault manifest and certname, but you can change the source of the cata- log with the --terminus option. You can also choose to print any cata- log in 'dot' format (for easy graph viewing with OmniGraffle or Graphviz) with '--render-as dot'. OPTIONS Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to the present action. For example, server and run_mode are valid settings, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an argument. See the configuration file documentation at https://pup- pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of ac- ceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig. --render-as FORMAT The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot are sometimes available. --verbose Whether to log verbosely. --debug Whether to log debug information. --terminus _TERMINUS Indirector faces expose indirected subsystems of Puppet. These subsystems are each able to retrieve and alter a specific type of data (with the familiar actions of find, search, save, and destroy) from an arbitrary number of pluggable backends. In Pup- pet parlance, these backends are called terminuses. Almost all indirected subsystems have a rest terminus that in- teracts with the puppet master's data. Most of them have addi- tional terminuses for various local data models, which are in turn used by the indirected subsystem on the puppet master when- ever it receives a remote request. The terminus for an action is often determined by context, but occasionally needs to be set explicitly. See the "Notes" section of this face's manpage for more details. ACTIONS apply - Find and apply a catalog. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog apply [--terminus _TERMINUS] DESCRIPTION Finds and applies a catalog. This action takes no arguments, but the source of the catalog can be managed with the --terminus op- tion. RETURNS Nothing. When used from the Ruby API, returns a Puppet::Transac- tion::Report object. compile - Compile a catalog. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog compile [--terminus _TERMINUS] DESCRIPTION Compiles a catalog locally for a node, requiring access to mod- ules, node classifier, etc. RETURNS A serialized catalog. download - Download this node's catalog from the puppet master server. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog download [--terminus _TERMINUS] DESCRIPTION Retrieves a catalog from the puppet master and saves it to the local yaml cache. This action always contacts the puppet master and will ignore alternate termini. The saved catalog can be used in any subsequent catalog action by specifying '--terminus yaml' for that action. RETURNS Nothing. NOTES When used from the Ruby API, this action has a side effect of leaving Puppet::Resource::Catalog.indirection.terminus_class set to yaml. The terminus must be explicitly re-set for subsequent catalog actions. find - Retrieve the catalog for the node from which the command is run. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog find [--terminus _TERMINUS] [--facts_for_catalog] certname, facts DESCRIPTION Retrieve the catalog for the node from which the command is run. OPTIONS --facts_for_catalog - Not implemented for the CLI; facts are collected internally. RETURNS A serialized catalog. When used from the Ruby API, returns a Puppet::Resource::Catalog object. info - Print the default terminus class for this face. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog info [--terminus _TERMINUS] DESCRIPTION Prints the default terminus class for this subcommand. Note that different run modes may have different default termini; when in doubt, specify the run mode with the '--run_mode' option. save - API only: create or overwrite an object. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog save [--terminus _TERMINUS] key DESCRIPTION API only: create or overwrite an object. As the Faces framework does not currently accept data from STDIN, save actions cannot currently be invoked from the command line. select - Retrieve a catalog and filter it for resources of a given type. SYNOPSIS puppet catalog select [--terminus _TERMINUS] host resource_type DESCRIPTION Retrieves a catalog for the specified host, then searches it for all resources of the requested type. RETURNS A list of resource references ("Type[title]"). When used from the API, returns an array of Puppet::Resource objects excised from a catalog. NOTES By default, this action will retrieve a catalog from Puppet's compiler subsystem; you must call the action with --terminus rest if you wish to retrieve a catalog from the puppet master. FORMATTING ISSUES: This action cannot currently render useful yaml; instead, it returns an entire catalog. Use json instead. EXAMPLES apply Apply the locally cached catalog: $ puppet catalog apply --terminus yaml Retrieve a catalog from the master and apply it, in one step: $ puppet catalog apply --terminus rest API example: # ... Puppet::Face[:catalog, '0.0.1'].download # (Termini are singletons; catalog.download has a side effect of # setting the catalog terminus to yaml) report = Puppet::Face[:catalog, '0.0.1'].apply # ... compile Compile catalog for node 'mynode': $ puppet catalog compile mynode --codedir ... download Retrieve and store a catalog: $ puppet catalog download API example: Puppet::Face[:plugin, '0.0.1'].download Puppet::Face[:facts, '0.0.1'].upload Puppet::Face[:catalog, '0.0.1'].download # ... select Ask the puppet master for a list of managed file resources for a node: $ puppet catalog select --terminus rest somenode.magpie.lan file NOTES This subcommand is an indirector face, which exposes find, search, save, and destroy actions for an indirected subsystem of Puppet. Valid termini for this face include: • compiler • json • msgpack • rest • store_configs • yaml COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2011 by Puppet Inc. Apache 2 license; see COPYING Puppet, Inc.
