Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

The boundary-meter Cookbook

This cookbook is used to install and configure (via the Boundary API) the Boundary meter. To get things running, set your Boundary account's org id and API key in the attributes/default.rb and add boundary-meter::default to your host's run_list.

Dependencies

Dependencies and their requisite versions, when necessary, are specified in metadata.rb.

Configuration Options

API Keys

Setup your API keys in attributes/api.rb for Boundary Enterprise

default['boundary_meter']['token'] = 'org_id:api_key'

or Boundary Premium

default['boundary_meter']['token'] = 'api_token'
Boundary Meter Tags

By default, the cookbook sends the chef_environment as a meter tag to the Boundary service.

If your host is in EC2 or you are using Opsworks, it adds a few tags specific to those environments.

You can set more tags by manipulating the node['boundary_meter']['tags'] attribute.

Interfaces

The meter defaults to monitoring all interfaces. You can change this with the node['boundary_meter']['interfaces'] array:

node['boundary_meter']['interfaces'] = [ 'eth0', 'eth2' ]
Hostname

The Boundary meter defaults to using node['fqdn'] as the hostname. You can override this by setting node['boundary_meter']['hostname'] with a higher precedence then default.

Sending to Multiple Orgs

If you would like to "multiplex" your meter traffic to multiple Boundary orgs, we support this using a special variable in the Boundary meter named ALT_CONFIGS.

These can be set via the attribute node['boundary_meter']['alt_configs'] which is an array of hashes:

For Boundary Enterprise
ruby
node['boundary_meter']['alt_configs'] = [{
'name' => 'secondary',
'token' => 'org_id:api_key'
}
]

or Boundary Premium
ruby
node['boundary_meter']['alt_configs'] = [{
'name' => 'secondary',
'token' => 'api_token'
}
]

EC2

This cookbook includes automatic detection and tagging of your meter with various EC2 attributes such as security group and instance type.

OpsWorks

If you are using OpsWorks this cookbook should work out of the box (with the above dependencies). This cookbook also includes automatic detection and tagging of your meter with layers, stack name and applications if any exist.

Known issues

  • There is a meter bug that prevents status from being returned properly when using alt_configs functionality. If the meter needs to be reprovisioned chef will not detect this unless the meter.conf is deleted from alt_config directory.
