If you're managing a lot of machines, Puppet's reporting facility can give you some valuable information on what's actually happening out there.
Generating reports
How to do it...
To enable reports, just add this to a client's puppet.conf, within the [main] or [agent] sections:
report = true
In recent versions of Puppet, report = true is the default setting.
How it works...
With reporting enabled, Puppet will generate a report file, containing data such as:
- Date and time of the run
- Total time for the run
- Log messages output during the run
- List of all...
