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.

DESCRIPTION

Provides LWRP's and service recipes to install and configure
Sensu, a monitoring framework.

This cookbook provides the building blocks for creating a monitoring
cookbook specific to your environment (wrapper). Without such a
wrapper, no Sensu configuration files will be created for your nodes.

An example wrapper cookbook can be found
HERE.

How to Write Reusable Chef Cookbooks

CONTRIBUTING

See CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and TESTING.md documents.

COOKBOOK DEPENDENCIES

NOTE: This cookbook either constrains its dependencies optimistically (>=) or not at all. You're strongly encouraged to more strictly manage these dependencies in your wrapper cookbook.

PACKAGES

This cookbook makes no attempt to manage the versions of its package dependencies. If you desire or require management of these versions, you should handle these via your wrapper cookbook.

REQUIREMENTS

SSL configuration

Running Sensu with SSL is recommended; by default this cookbook attempts to load SSL credentials from a data bag sensu, with an item ssl, containing the required SSL certificates and keys. These data bag items may be encrypted via native Chef encrypted data bags or via Chef Vault.

The data loaded from the data bag by default is expected to be formatted as follows:

{
  "server": {
    "cert": "CERTIFICATE_DATA",
    "key": "PRIVATE_KEY_DATA",
    "cacert": "CA_CERTIFICATE_DATA"
  },
  "client": {
    "cert": "CERTIFICATE_DATA",
    "key": "PRIVATE_KEY_DATA"
  }
}

All of the above values are expected to be strings comprised of PEM-formatted credentials with escaped line endings. See test/integration/data_bags/sensu/ssl.json for a more literal example.

If the attempt to load SSL credentials from a data bag fails, the cookbook will log a warning but proceed with the rest of the Chef run anyway, on the assumption that credentials will be inserted into the Chef "run state" (i.e. node.run_state['sensu']['ssl']) in the same format using the Sensu::ChefRunState helper methods, set_sensu_run_state and get_sensu_run_state.

Please see the documentation for the run state helper methods for more information.

This cookbook comes with a tool to generate the certificates and data bag items. If the integrity of the certificates is ever compromised, you must regenerate and redeploy them.

cd examples/ssl
./ssl_certs.sh generate
knife data bag create sensu

Use the plain-text data bag item:

knife data bag from file sensu ssl.json

Or, encrypt it with your data bag secret. See Encrypt a Data
Bag
for
more information.

knife data bag --secret-file /path/to/your/secret from file sensu ssl.json
./ssl_certs.sh clean

RECIPES

sensu::default

Installs Sensu and creates a base configuration file, intended to be
extended. This recipe must be included before any of the Sensu LWRP's
can be used. This recipe does not enable or start any services.

sensu::rabbitmq

Installs and configures RabbitMQ for Sensu, from configuring SSL to
creating a vhost and credentials. This recipe relies heavily on the
community RabbitMQ cookbook LWRP's.

sensu::redis

Installs and configures Redis for Sensu. This recipe uses the
RedisIO cookbook and installs Redis from source.

sensu::enterprise

Installs and configures Sensu Enterprise.

sensu::server_service

Enables and starts the Sensu server.

sensu::client_service

Enables and starts the Sensu client.

sensu::api_service

Enables and starts the Sensu API.

sensu::enterprise_service

Enables and starts Sensu Enterprise.

end

Define a check

sensu_check "redis_process" do
  command "check-procs.rb -p redis-server -C 1"

Helper modules and methods

Run State Helpers

The Sensu::ChefRunState module provides helper methods which populate node.run_state['sensu'] with arbitrary key/value pairs. This provides a means for wrapper cookbooks to populate the node.run_state with data required by the cookbook, e.g. SSL credentials, without cookbook itself enforcing source for that data.

n.b. The node.run_state is not persisted locally nor on a Chef server. Data stored here exists only for the duration of the Chef run.

set_sensu_state

This method sets values inside the node.run_state['sensu'] Mash, and expects arguments in the following order:

  1. the Chef node object
  2. one or more keys, providing the path to walk
  3. the value to set at that path

Example:

set_sensu_state(node, 'food', 'nachos', true)

The above sets the value of node.run_state['sensu']['food']['nachos'] to true.

get_sensu_state

This method retrieves the value of a key inside the node.run_state['sensu'] Mash and expects arguments in the following order:

  1. the Chef node object
  2. one or more keys, providing the path to walk

Examples:

get_sensu_state(node, 'food', 'nachos') would return true

When no value is set for a requested path, this method returns nil:

get_sensu_state(node, 'this', 'path', 'is', 'invalid') returns nil

Sensu cookbook changelog

This file is used to track changes made in each version of the sensu cookbook.

2.12.0 - 2016-03-14

Project changes

The Sensu cookbook project has adopted a new contribution workflow and a new code of conduct policy. Please see the relevant documents in repo for details.

Behavior changes

  • Values for owner and group properties on sensu_json_file resources now default to lazy evaluation of node attributes sensu.admin_user and sensu.group respectively. (#426)

  • Data bags remain default source of SSL certificates, but are now optional:

    With the addition of Sensu state helpers in #410 recipes which access credentials via data bags (i.e. default, rabbitmq and enterprise recipes) have been updated to make these data bag items optional.

    Please see the readme and integration test suite for examples of using these helpers.

  • Testing notes have been added in TESTING.md to describe some of the platform/suite combinations which are disabled or otherwise require special configuration.

Features

Added ChefSpec test coverage for the following:

  • default and client_service recipes
  • sensu_gem LWRP
  • Sensu::Helpers library #select_attributes and #gem_binary methods

Added source attribute to sensu_gem resource
