You are specifying the name of the Puppet master when you use --server but that's not how the agent will usually run. The error you're getting with the puppet agent -t indicates a problem communicating with the master. That's going to behave the same as when the agent runs every 30 minutes.
I would check to make sure that the agent has the correct master listed in its puppet.conf file, and also that you can resolve that master's name from the agent host. There's a bit of additional troubleshooting info in this doc: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/quick_start_master_agent_communication.html Rich On Thu, Oct 8, 2015 at 11:56 PM Wei Chen <chenwei2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi John, > > Thanks for your answer first. > > I am new comer of puppet.
