Statically add nodes to a node group
You can pin individual nodes to node groups.
If you need to add a lot of nodes to a group, it is more useful to Dynamically add nodes to a node group with logical rules that automatically add and remove nodes from your node groups. Pinning individual nodes to groups is only recommended if the node group only has a few nodes or if you need to add some specific nodes that weren't captured by the group's dynamic rules.
Pinning a node is the same as creating a rule for certname =
<EXACT_NODE_CERTNAME>, and Puppet Enterprise (PE) processes this rule along with the group's other fact-based rules (if there are
any).
A pinned node remains in the node group until you manually remove
it.
- In the console, click Node groups and select the node group that you want to pin the node to.
- On the Rules tab, enter the node's certname in the Certname field.
- Click Pin node and commit changes.
