Custom Resources

ohai_hint

Creates Ohai hint files, which are consumed by Ohai plugins in order to determine if they should run or not.

Resource Properties

  • hint_name - The name of hints file and key. Should be string, default is name of resource.
  • content - Values of hints. It will be used as automatic attributes. Should be Hash, default is empty Hash
  • compile_time - Should the resource run at compile time. This defaults to true

Examples

Hint file installed to the default directory:

ohai_hint 'ec2'

Hint file not installed at compile time:

ohai_hint 'ec2' do
  compile_time false
end

Hint file installed with content:

ohai_hint 'raid_present' do
  content Hash[:a, 'test_content']
end

ChefSpec Matchers

You can check for the creation or deletion of ohai hints with chefspec using these custom matches:

  • create_ohai_hint
  • delete_ohai_hint

ohai_plugin

Installs custom Ohai plugins.

Resource Properties

  • plugin_name - The name to give the plugin on the filesystem. Should be string, default is name of resource.
  • path - The path to your custom plugin directory. Defaults to a directory named 'plugins' under the directory 'ohai' in the Chef config dir.
  • source_file - The source file for the plugin in your cookbook if not NAME.rb.
  • cookbook - The cookbook where the source file exists if not the cookbook where the ohai_plugin resource is running from.
  • resource - The resource type for the plugin file. Either :cookbook_file or :template. Defaults to :cookbook_file.
  • variables - Usable only if resource is :template. Defines the template's variables.
  • compile_time - Should the resource run at compile time. This defaults to true.
  • load_single_plugin - Reload all plugins unless this value is set to true. Load only the named plugin.

examples

Simple Ohai plugin installation:

ohai_plugin 'my_custom_plugin'

Installation where the resource doesn't match the filename and you install to a custom plugins dir:

ohai_plugin 'My Ohai Plugin' do
  name 'my_custom_plugin'
  path '/my/custom/path/'
end

Installation using a template:

ohai_plugin 'My Templated Plugin' do
  name 'templated_plugin'
  resource :template
  variables node_type: :web_server
end

ChefSpec Matchers

You can check for the creation or deletion of ohai plugins with chefspec using these custom matches:

BREAKING CHANGE:

The 4.0 release of the Ohai cookbook removes the previous cookbook_file behavior that required forking the cookbook and adding your own plugins. Instead the cookbook ships with a new ohai_plugin custom resource for installing plugins. In addition to this new custom resource the cookbook now requires Chef 12+. See the readme and test recipe for examples. If you require Chef 11 support you'll need to pin to version 3.0 in your environment.
