goaccess Cookbook

Installs GoAccess from source. It will compile with the
GeoIP and UTF-8 option flags.

GoAccess is an open source real-time web log analyzer and
interactive viewer that runs in a terminal in *nix systems. It provides
fast and valuable HTTP statistics for system administrators that require
a visual server report on the fly.

Requirements

Cookbooks

On RHEL family distros, the "yum" cookbook is required for obtaining
latest build dependencies and adding the EPEL repo which is needed for
geopip-devel.

On Debian family distros, the "apt" cookbooks is required for obtaining
latest build dependencies.

Platforms

The following platforms are supported and have been automatically tested under
Test Kitchen:

• Ubuntu 12.04
• Debian 7.4
• Centos 6.5
• Amazon Linux (2013.09.2)

Other versions of these OSs should work. Alternative Debian and RHEL
family distributions are also assumed to work. Please report
any additional platforms you have tested so they can be added.

Usage

Simply include recipe[goaccess] in your run_list to have
GoAccess installed.

Contributing

Pull requests are very welcome! Ideally create a topic branch for every
separate change you make.

This cookbook uses [ChefSpec][chefspec] for unit tests. I also use Fodd
Critic and RuboCop to check for style issues.
When contributing it would be very helpful if you could run these via
bundle exec spec and bundle exec style.

Lastly, there are Serverspec integration tests for use
ignored. To see all of the available integration test suites just check
bundle exec rake T or bundle exec kitchen list, it would be great if
you run these tests too, you may however leave out the Amazon Linux test
suite if you do not have an AWS account as it runs on an EC2 instance
(you will be billed for running this).
