Check the status of ports used by Puppet Enterprise using a task

If you don’t have access to the command line, you can check the status of ports used by the Puppet Enterprise primary server (formerly called the master) using a task.

Version and installation information

PE version: All supported versions

Solution

By installing the puppetlabs-support_tasks module, you can use task st1105 to check the status of ports used by PE.

1. Download and install the puppetlabs-support_tasks module which includes the task for this solution.

2. In the console, in the Run section, click Task. In the Task field, select st1105. From the list of target types, select Node list, Under Inventory, enter the node name of your primary server, and then click Run job.

After the task is completed, you get the status for each port on the Job page. For example:

    {
      "destination": "martian-statue.delivery.puppetlabs.net",
      "port": "443",
      "result": "pass",
      "description": "This port provides host access to the console. The console accepts HTTPS traffic from end users on this port."
    },
