[Parker Leach (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Parker Leach updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-11668 puppet node purge help is misleading Change By: Parker Leach This was mistakenly created as a docs ticket: Hi, I think the help for "puppet node purge" is a bit misleading:   { noformat code:java } // code placeholder # puppet node --help  USAGE: puppet node <action> [--terminus _TERMINUS] This subcommand interacts with node objects, which are used by Puppet tobuild a catalog. A node object consists of the node's facts, environment,node parameters (exposed in the parser as top-scope variables), and classes. OPTIONS:  --render-as FORMAT             - The rendering format to use.  --verbose                     - Whether to log verbosely.  --debug                     - Whether to log debug information.  --terminus _TERMINUS           - The indirector terminus to use. ACTIONS:  clean         Clean up signed certs, cached facts, node objects, and reports                for a node stored by the puppetmaster  deactivate    Deactivate a set of nodes in PuppetDB  decrypt       Decrypt a value using the agent's own certificate  encrypt       Encrypt a value using a specified agent's certificate  exports       Return the exports of nodes from puppetdb  find          Retrieve a node object.  info          Print the default terminus class for this face.  purge         Deactivate nodes, delete from inventory, delete PuppetDB data,                and clean node info from the primary  status        Fetch the current status for a set of nodes in PuppetDB TERMINI: classifier, exec, json, memory, msgpack, plain, puppetdb, rest, store_configs, yaml See 'puppet help node' or 'man puppet-node' for full help.#{ noformat code }     "Clean" mentions "Clean up signed certs". This isn't mentioned for "purge", but it also revokes the certificate:   | # puppet node purge catalog-diff| |Notice: Certificate for catalog-diff has been revoked| |Notice: Cleaned files related to catalog-diff| |Node "catalog-diff" was purged.| | | |To ensure a node can not check into any compilers, run 'puppet agent -t' on all compilers.| | | |To re-add a node to your Puppet Enterprise infrastructure:| |On the node:| |1. Run 'puppet ssl clean' to purge that node's local certificates.| |2. Run 'puppet agent -t' to generate a new certificate request.| | # puppet --version| |7.20.0| |#| Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.11#820011-sha1:0629dd8) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
