puppet-agent: Log every resource being evaluated (even if nothing is being changed).
$ puppet agent --test --evaltrace
try on your machine
The command "puppet agent --test --evaltrace" is used to run the Puppet agent in test mode with evaluation tracing enabled.
Here is a breakdown of the command options:
- "puppet": It refers to the Puppet executable, indicating that we want to run the Puppet agent.
- "agent": It is a subcommand that specifies that we want to run the agent.
- "--test": This option instructs the agent to run in test mode. In test mode, changes will be simulated but not actually applied.
- "--evaltrace": This option enables evaluation tracing, which provides detailed information about the steps and decisions taken by the Puppet agent while processing the Puppet manifests.
By running this command, the Puppet agent will perform a test run and show you the detailed evaluation traces, allowing you to understand how the Puppet agent is evaluating and applying the configurations specified in your Puppet manifests. This can be useful for troubleshooting and understanding any potential issues or unexpected behaviors in your Puppet setup.
