Running Puppet from the console

In the console, you can run Puppet from an agent node's Node details page.

The Run Puppet button is not available if an agent does not have an active websocket session with the PCP broker, or if the node's connection method is SSH or WinRM (an agentless node), or if it is a device.
  1. In the console, go to Nodes and click the name of the node you want to run Puppet on.
  2. On the Node details page, click Run Puppet. You can configure these run options, if desired:
    • No-op: The Puppet run simulates changes without actually enforcing the new catalog. Nodes with noop = true in their puppet.conf files always run in no-op mode.
    • Debug: Prints all messages generated during the run that are available for use in debugging.
    • Trace: Prints stack traces on some errors.
    • Evaltrace: Shows a breakdown of the time taken for each step in the run.

When the Puppet run completes, the console displays the node’s run status.
