Disable software update monitoring
The Puppet Server (pe-puppetserver
) service checks for updates when it starts, restarts, and
every 24 hours while running. You can disable these automatic software update
checks.
To check if a software update is available, the pe-puppetserver
service sends the following basic, anonymous information to our servers at Puppet by Perforce:
- Product name
- Puppet Server version
- IP address
- Data collection timestamp
You can turn off automatic software update monitoring in the Puppet Enterprise (PE) console.
- In the PE console, go to Node groups and select the PE Master node group.
- On the Classes tab, find the
puppet_enterprise::profile::master
class. - Add the
check_for_updates
parameter and change the value tofalse
. - Click Add parameter and commit changes.
- On the nodes that host your primary server and console, run Puppet.There are several ways to Run Puppet on demand.
