Puppet Classroom Manager

Usage : classroom <action> [subject] [options]

Manage Puppet classroom VMs and updating courseware. This includes troubleshooting and maintenance tasks to be used as needed during the delivery and facilities for resetting the VM for use across multiple deliveries. This is pre-installed on the classroom VM and is only of use to trainers delivering Puppet Inc. classes.

Available actions:

classroom update This updates your VM to the latest released version. This includes all cached packages, gems, modules, etc. and pre-installed courseware.

You should run this command before each delivery. It may take several minutes to complete. When finished, it will run the validate task.
classroom validate This runs built in serverspec tests to check the VM for consistency. It is run automatically by the update task so you likely don't need to run it yourself.
classroom submit This task replaces the old rake submit tasks and uploads classroom statistics to the EDU department for analysis.
classroom sanitize Running this task will remove all traces of students in preparation for using the same VM for the next delivery.
classroom performance log <message> The VM periodically records performance metrics. These are included in the information uploaded with the submit task. This task allows you to annotate those logs with arbitrary information.
classroom reset password | certificates | filesync This task resets the specified information. Using this to reset the root password ensures that it is still displayed on the login console. This can also regenerate all monolithic PE certificates or use the so-called "nuclear" option to blow away and redeploy filesync.
classroom restart <PE services> Gracefully restart PE services in the proper order. Run without a service to see usage information.
classroom troubleshoot Run through various troubleshooting checks and fixes.
classroom page This will page on call classroom support in case of emergency.
