4.2. Configuring Puppet agent on Provisioned Systems
As part of the provisioning process, Satellite 6 installs Puppet to the system. This process also installs
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf file that configures Puppet as an agent of the Puppet master on a chosen Capsule. This configuration file is stored as a provisioning template snippet in Satellite 6. Navigate to → and click the puppet.conf snippet to view it.
The default
puppet.conf snippet contains the following agent configuration:
[agent] pluginsync = true report = true ignoreschedules = true daemon = false ca_server = <%= @host.puppet_ca_server %> certname = <%= @host.certname %> environment = <%= @host.environment %> server = <%= @host.puppetmaster %>
This snippet contains some template variables, which are:
- @host.puppet_ca_server and @host.certname - The certificate and certificate authority for securing Puppet communication.
- @host.environment - The Puppet environment on the Satellite 6 server to use for configuration.
- @host.puppetmaster - The host containing the Puppet master. This is either the Satellite 6 server's internal Capsule or an external Satellite Capsule.
