Yes, I think puppet agent would still open a
Puppet::Util::Log.newdestination(:console) if verbose or debug is set,
regardless of --daemonize.
My particular use case is a foreground process without
Puppet::Util::Log.newdestination(:console) set. My snippet provided
Puppet::Util::Log.newdestination(:json) to output each message in json
format instead of plain/structured text. That way other programs using
%x{puppet agent} would have simple to parse messages. Works great with
most puppet applications. In agent two copies of each message are
written to STDOUT, one from :console and one from :json.
I could also see a use case for something like the syslog/file/host/
report destinations from a cronjob. In any of those cases you can't
get info or higher messages without getting output to STDOUT as well.
