# Puppet Client
|
|
|
|
The Puppet Agent updates the configuration on the node. It automatically runs regulary, for configuration details check the [configuration guide](../configuration/puppet_agent).
|
|
|
|
The puppet client can be manually triggered/run by calling following command on the client:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
puppet agent -t
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To only check what the client would actually do, without actually changing the systems configuration/files/etc. you can use the `--noop` option:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
puppet agent -t --noop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To instruct the puppet client to use a specific puppet environment use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
puppet agent -t --environment my_environment
|
|
```
|
|
The client will keep this environment until
|
|
- either the puppet environment is removed from the server (i.e. the client will do a fallback to the default environment)
|
|
- you manually change the environment again
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
### Attach Node to Different Puppet Server
|
|
|
|
For testing purpose you might want to change the Puppet server to which a test node is attached to. To do so do, change the ``server`` in the ``[main]`` section of ``/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf`` accordingly.
|
|
|
|
Then delete the current host and CA certficate and the CRL:
|
|
|
|
#. ``rm /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/*``
|
|
#. ``rm /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/crl.pem``
|
|
|
|
Finally run the puppet agent again. |
