 SYNOPSIS
 ========
 
 Prepare and submit an inspection report to the puppet master.
 
 
 USAGE
 =====
 
   puppet inspect
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 ===========
 
 This command uses the cached catalog from the previous run of 'puppet
 agent' to determine which attributes of which resources have been
 marked as auditable with the 'audit' metaparameter. It then examines
 the current state of the system, writes the state of the specified
 resource attributes to a report, and submits the report to the puppet
 master.
 
 Puppet inspect does not run as a daemon, and must be run manually or from cron.
 
 
 OPTIONS
 =======
 
 Any configuration setting which is valid in the configuration file is
 also a valid long argument, e.g. '--server=master.domain.com'. See the
 configuration file documentation at
 http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html for
 the full list of acceptable settings.
