This is a puppet face that will display all exports in puppetdb from the command line

This module is compatible with Puppet Enterprise and Puppet Bolt.

• To run tasks with Puppet Enterprise, PE 2017.3 or later must be used.

• To run tasks with Puppet Bolt, Bolt 0.5 or later must be installed on the machine from which you are running task commands. The master receiving the task must have SSH enabled.

With Puppet Enterprise 2017.3 or higher, you can run this task from the console or the command line.

Here's a command line example where we are checking for the exported Host resources from the Puppet master, master.corp.net:

[abir@workstation]$ puppet task run exports resources=Host --nodes master.corp.net

Starting job ...
New job ID: 247
Nodes: 1

Started on master.corp.net ...
Finished on node master.corp.net
  STDOUT:
    Name                                 Exports
    master.corp.net                      Host[master.corp.net]

Job completed. 1/1 nodes succeeded.
Duration: 2 sec

With Bolt, you can run this task on the command line like so:

bolt task run exports resources=Host --nodes master.corp.net

• resources: Filter the query to just a particular resource

1. Install the module into your modulepath

puppet node exports

An example use would be monitoring students checking into the puppet master in the puppet advanced class

while :; do clear; puppet node exports --highlight; sleep 2; done

or if you do not have --color in watch:

watch 'puppet node exports'

To query for all exported resources ( be aware there is a 20,000 limit by default )

puppet node exports

Name                                 Exports
puppet3.puppetlabs.vm                File[/tmp/production_puppet3.puppetlabs.vm_2]
puppet3.puppetlabs.vm                File[/tmp/production_puppet3.puppetlabs.vm]
puppet3.puppetlabs.vm                User[foooo]

To query for just user resources

puppet node exports --resources user

Name                                 Exports
puppet3.puppetlabs.vm                User[foooo]
