= DESCRIPTION: My developers and VP want to know how servers are being used, so I embed the page generated by this cookbook in our wiki and its always up to date! Uses a simple javascript sort that I found at http://yoast.com/articles/sortable-table/ Whats on the page that is generated: A time stamp of the page generation A html tabe giving the following for each node <tr> <th width="13%">Name</th> <th width="13%">IP</th> <th width="13%">Hardware</th> <th width="13%">OS</th> <th width="24%">Roles</th> <th width="24%">Recipes</th> </tr> Lastly a server count = REQUIREMENTS: Requires a webserver to server the html page from the output location. = ATTRIBUTES: The path of the web directory you want to server the report from: default[:server_inventory][:output_dir] = /var/www/html Output format can be html or csv, incase you want to import to another system: default[:server_inventory][:output_format] = "html" = USAGE: Add the the run_list of any chef node and view pages via your brower. You may need to update the output_dir for your env. I suggest a roll, but its not nessary { "name": "SERVER_INVENTORY_ROLE", "default_attributes": { }, "json_class": "Chef::Role", "run_list": [ "recipe[server_inventory]" ], "description": "This role will be on one server that generates a up to date server list with every chef run", "chef_type": "role", "override_attributes": { "server_inventory": { "output_dir": "/var/www/html/myvirtual.com", "output_format": "html" } } }
