PUPPET-REPORT(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-REPORT(8)NAMEpuppet-report - Create, display, and submit reports.
SYNOPSIS
puppet report action [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]
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 http://docs.puppet‐
labs.com/references/stable/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.
--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.
--extra HASH
A terminus can take additional arguments to refine the opera‐
tion, which are passed as an arbitrary hash to the back-end.
Anything passed as the extra value is just send direct to the
back-end.
--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
interacts 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
info - Print the default terminus class for this face.
SYNOPSIS
puppet report info [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH]
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: submit a report.
SYNOPSIS
puppet report save [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH] report
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.
RETURNS
Nothing.
submit - API only: submit a report with error handling.
SYNOPSIS
puppet report submit [--terminus TERMINUS] [--extra HASH] report
DESCRIPTION
API only: Submits a report to the puppet master. This action is
essentially a shortcut and wrapper for the save action with the
rest terminus, and provides additional details in the event of a
failure.
EXAMPLES
save
From the implementation of puppet report submit (API example):
begin Puppet::Transaction::Report.indirection.terminus_class = :rest
Puppet::Face[:report, "0.0.1"].save(report) Puppet.notice "Uploaded
report for #{report.name}" rescue => detail Puppet.log_excep‐
tion(detail, "Could not send report: #{detail}") end
submit
API example:report = Puppet::Face[:catalog, ´0.0.1´].apply Pup‐
pet::Face[:report, ´0.0.1´].submit(report) return report
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:
· msgpack
· processor
· rest
· yaml
