NAME

puppet-script - Run a puppet manifests as a script without compiling a catalog

SYNOPSIS

Runs a puppet language script without compiling a catalog.

USAGE

DESCRIPTION

This is a standalone puppet script runner tool; use it to run puppet code without compiling a catalog.

When provided with a modulepath, via command line or config file, puppet script can load functions, types, tasks and plans from modules.

OPTIONS

Note that any setting that´s valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, ´environment´ is a valid setting, so you can specify ´--environment mytest´ 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.
--help: Print this help message
--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´. Multiple destinations can be set using a comma separated list (eg: /path/file1,console,/path/file2)"

: 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.
: A path ending with ´.jsonl´ will receive structured output in JSON Lines format.

--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. Applies to tasks only.
--execute: Execute a specific piece of Puppet code
--verbose: Print extra information.

EXAMPLE

$ puppet script -l /tmp/manifest.log manifest.pp
$ puppet script --modulepath=/root/dev/modules -e ´notice("hello world")´
