Run Puppet on demand from the console
When you set up a job to run Puppet from the console, the orchestrator creates a job ID to track the job, shows you all nodes included in the job, and runs Puppet on the targeted nodes in the appropriate order. Puppet compiles a new catalog for each node included in the job.
You can specify one, and only one, of these targets for a job:
- A list of one or more specific nodes.
- A node group.
- A Puppet Query Language (PQL) query defining a set of nodes.
When configuring the job in the console, if you switch the target method in
the Select a target type dropdown, then the target list clears and
you must re-select the target nodes. However, you can perform a one-time conversion of a
PQL query to a static node list if you want to add or remove specific nodes from the query
results.
