Recipes

scout
- The default recipe.
Required Attributes
[:scout][:account_key]
The agent requires a Scout account and the account's associated key. The key can be found in the account settings tab within the Scout UI or in the server setup instructions. The key looks like: 0mZ6BD9DR0qyZjaBLCPZZWkW3n2Wn7DV9xp5gQPs
Default value: nil
If the [:scout][:account_key]
attribute is not provided the scout agent won't be installed but all other parts of the recipe will execute.
Optional Attributes
[:scout][:hostname]
Optional hostname to uniquely identify this host to Scout.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:display_name]
Optional name to display for this node within the Scout UI.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:roles]
An Array of roles for this node. Roles are defined through Scout's UI.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:plugin_gems]
An Array of plugin gem dependencies to install. For example, you may want to install the redis
gem if this node uses the redis plugin. Each entry in the array can be the name of a gem, or an array specifying the arguments required to install a specific version of a gem. For example, the following configuration will install the latest version of the redis
gem: node[:scout][:plugin_gems] = ['redis']
This configuration, on the other hand, will install version 3.2.1: node[:scout][:plugin_gems] = [%w(redis --version 3.2.1)]
Default value: nil
[:scout][:ruby_path]
The full path to a ruby executable or rvm wrapper which will run the Scout Ruby code and where the gem dependencies will be installed. If installing under a user based RVM install, you should also set the :user
and :group
options in :gem_shell_opts
(see below). Example: :rvm_wrapper => "/home/vagrant/.rvm/wrappers/ruby-1.9.3-p547"
Default value: nil
[:scout][:gem_shell_opts]
A hash of valid MixLib::ShellOut options. The recipe shells out to the gem
command for installing gems. You can set things like the user/group to shell out as, shell environment variables such as $PATH, etc.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:version]
Scout agent version to install. nil
installs the latest release.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:public_key]
If you use self-signed custom plugins, set this attribute to the public key value and it'll be installed on the node.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:environment]
The environment you would like this server to belong to, if you use environments. Environments are defined through scoutapp.com's web UI.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:plugin_properties]
Hash. Used to generate a plugins.properties file from string values or encrypted data bag items. For example, "haproxy.password" => "foobar" will create an entry "haproxy.password=foobar" in the plugins.properties file. Alternatively, "haproxy.password" => {"encrypted_data_bag" => "shared_passwords", "item" => "haproxy_stats", "key" => "password"} will create a plugins.properties entry with "haproxy.password=PASSWORD" where PASSWORD is an encrypted data bag item "haproxy_stats" in encrypted_data_bag "shared_passwords" with key "password".
Default value: {}
[:scout][:delete_on_shutdown]
If true, will run a shutdown script to remove the server from Scout when the server is shutdown.
Default value: nil
[:scout][:repo][:enable]
If true, will install the correct archive.scoutapp.com repository based on the hosts platform. Only disable if you have the scoutd package hosted in a repository already installed on the host.
Default value: true
[:scout][:key][:bag_name]
If speficied, the account_key will be loaded from the given encrypted data bag. (Note: must also specifiy [:scout][:key][:item_name]
)
Default value: nil
[:scout][:key][:item_name]
If speficied, the account_key will be loaded from the given encrypted data bag item under the account_key
value in the bag. (Note: must also specifiy [:scout][:key][:bag_name]
