puppet-agent: Disable the agent.
$ puppet agent --disable "${message}"
try on your machine
The command "puppet agent --disable "${message}"" is used to disable the Puppet agent run on a particular node with an optional message.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "puppet agent": This is the command used to interact with the Puppet agent on a node.
- "--disable": This option is used to disable the Puppet agent run on a node. When this option is used, the Puppet agent will not retrieve or apply configurations until it is enabled again.
- "${message}": This is an optional parameter that allows you to provide a message explaining why the Puppet agent run has been disabled. It could be used to communicate important information or instructions to other team members.
To use this command, you would replace "${message}" with the actual message you wish to provide. For example: "puppet agent --disable "Server maintenance in progress, do not apply changes"". This command can be helpful when you want to temporarily prevent automatic configuration changes on a node during maintenance, troubleshooting, or other similar scenarios.
