NAME

       puppet-apply - Apply Puppet manifests locally

SYNOPSIS

       Applies a standalone Puppet manifest to the local system.

USAGE

       puppet apply [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-e|--execute] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-l|--logdest file] [--apply cat-
       alog] [--catalog catalog] file

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'modulepath' is  a
       valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--tags class,tag' as an argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.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'.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --detailed-exitcodes
	      Provide transaction information via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there were changes, an  exit  code	of
	      '4' means there were failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both changes and failures.

       --help Print this help message

       --loadclasses
	      Load  any  stored  classes.  'puppet  agent' caches configured classes (usually at /etc/puppet/classes.txt), and setting this option
	      causes all of those classes to be set in your puppet manifest.

       --logdest
	      Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to the console.

       --execute
	      Execute a specific piece of Puppet code

       --verbose
	      Print extra information.

       --apply
	      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. Deprecated, please use --catalog instead.

       --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.

EXAMPLE

       $ puppet apply -l /tmp/manifest.log manifest.pp
       $ puppet apply --modulepath=/root/dev/modules -e "include ntpd::server"
       $ puppet apply --catalog catalog.json

NAME

       puppet-device - Manage remote network devices

SYNOPSIS

       Retrieves all configurations from the puppet master and apply them to the remote devices configured in /etc/puppet/device.conf.

       Currently must be run out periodically, using cron or something similar.

USAGE

       puppet device [-d|--debug] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-V|--version]

		       [-h|--help] [-l|--logdest syslog|<file>|console]
		       [-v|--verbose] [-w|--waitforcert <seconds>]

DESCRIPTION

       Once the client has a signed certificate for a given remote device, it will retrieve its configuration and apply it.

USAGE NOTES

       One need a /etc/puppet/device.conf file with the following content:

       [remote.device.fqdn] type type url url

       where: * type: the current device type (the only value at this time is cisco) * url: an url allowing to connect to the device

       Supported url must conforms to: scheme://user:password@hostname/?query

       with:  * scheme: either ssh or telnet * user: username, can be omitted depending on the switch/router configuration * password: the connec-
       tion password * query: this is device specific. Cisco devices supports an enable parameter whose value would be the enable password.

OPTIONS

       Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument.  For  example,  'server'  is  a
       valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--server servername' as an argument.

       --debug
	      Enable full debugging.

       --detailed-exitcodes
	      Provide  transaction  information  via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there were changes, an exit code of
	      '4' means there were failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both changes and failures.

       --help Print this help message

       --logdest
	      Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to syslog, or  the  console
	      if debugging or verbosity is enabled.

       --verbose
	      Turn on verbose reporting.

       --waitforcert
	      This  option only matters for daemons that do not yet have certificates and it is enabled by default, with a value of 120 (seconds).
	      This causes +puppet agent+ to connect to the server every 2 minutes and ask it to sign a certificate request. This is useful for the
	      initial setup of a puppet client. You can turn off waiting for certificates by specifying a time of 0.

EXAMPLE

	 $ puppet device --server puppet.domain.com
