So I was reading that you can change the 30 minutes polling for reports by putting the runinterval in the puppet.config file, but when I did that, it doesn't seem to work. I also restarted the pe-puppet service after I change the puppet.config file as well and still doesn't work. I have it written as this in the file

runinterval = 8hr

I place it in the [main] part of the file. When it didn't work, I place the runinterval in all 3 parts, [main], [master], and [agent] and that still didn't work. Is there ... (more)

Would you paste your entire puppet.conf file?

If you remove it from the master and agent stanzas, and run "puppet agent --configprint runinterval", what gets returned? Also, what version are you on?

The runinterval setting should be placed in the [agent] section of puppet.conf, and there's no need to restart the puppet master. If your agents are daemonized, the setting controls how often they connect to the master for updates.

The fact that you saw different runinterval values when running as root vs. non-root is not a bug. You will likely see different values emitted for the following command when running as root and non-root

puppet agent --configprint confdir

This means that different users load their configuration from different places. If your agent runs as root, make sure to change ... (more)

That did the trick. I had to go into each node and modify the puppet.config file and add in the runinterval in the [agent] section. Thank you for the help.

check with #puppet agent --configprint all|grep -i runinterval default is runinterval = 1800 30 minutes = 1800 seconds change it using below command #puppet config set runinterval 28800 28000 seconds = 8 hours
