What are manifest and site.pp files?



Manifest is puppet’s term for files containing configuration information. Manifest files have a suffix of .pp. the puppet language is written into these files.

The site.pp file tells Puppet where and what configuration to load for our clients. These are stored in a directory called manifests under the /etc/puppet directory. 

You can easily change the name and location of manifest directory and site.pp file by defining/changing the "manifestdir" and "manifest" configuration item in puppet.conf file. These can be found in the [main] are of puppet.conf file.
