<p>cdist is the frontend executable to the cdist configuration management.
It supports different subcommands as explained below.</p>
<p>It is written in Python so it requires <strong>python</strong>(1) to be installed.
It requires a minimal Python version 3.5.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="general">

different log levels.
WHEN recognizes the values 'always', 'never', and 'auto' (the default).</p>
<p>If the value is 'auto', colored output is enabled if stdout is a TTY
unless the NO_COLOR (<a class="reference external" href="https://no-color.org/">https://no-color.org/</a>) environment variable is defined.</p>

order from the lowest to the highest, are: ERROR (-1),
WARNING (0), INFO (1), VERBOSE (2), DEBUG (3), TRACE (4
or higher). If used along with -v then -v increases
last set value and -l overwrites last set value.</p>

<dt><strong>-v, --verbose</strong></dt><dd><p>Increase the verbosity level. Every instance of -v
increments the verbosity level by one. Its default
value is 0 which includes ERROR and WARNING levels.
The levels, in order from the lowest to the highest,

<p>The HOSTFILE contains one host per line.
A comment is started with '#' and continues to the end of the line.
Any leading and trailing whitespace on a line is ignored.
Empty lines are ignored/skipped.</p>
<p>The Hostfile lines are processed as follows. First, all comments are
removed. Then all leading and trailing whitespace characters are stripped.
If such a line results in empty line it is ignored/skipped. Otherwise,
host string is used.</p>

<h3><span class="section-number">9.6.2. </span>CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT<a class="headerlink" href="#cache-path-pattern-format" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Cache path pattern specifies path for a cache directory subdirectory.
In the path, '%N' will be substituted by the target host, '%h' will
be substituted by the calculated host directory, '%P' will be substituted
by the current process id. All format codes that
<strong>python</strong> <strong>datetime.strftime()</strong> function supports, except
'%h', are supported. These date/time directives format cdist config/install
start time.</p>
<p>If empty pattern is specified then default calculated host directory
is used.</p>
<p>Calculated host directory is a hash of a host cdist operates on.</p>
<p>Resulting path is used to specify cache path subdirectory under which
current host cache data are saved.</p>

<p>When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
This is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxStartups</strong> configuration options.
You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
This limit is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxSessions</strong> configuration
options. For more details refer to <strong>sshd_config</strong>(5).</p>
<p>When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
example below), for example, in init manifest and in some other type manifest
and those requirements differ then dependency resolver cannot detect
dependencies correctly. This happens because cdist cannot prepare all objects first
and run all objects afterwards. Some object can depend on the result of type
explorer(s) and explorers are executed during object run. cdist will detect
such case and display a warning message. An example of such a case:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>init manifest:
