Overview

A puppet module to manage the configuration of mcollective when installed as part of the puppet 4 AIO installation.

Module Description

This module configures the server component and optionally the client configuration.

Requirements for this module is puppet >= 4.0 with the AIO installer. The evenup/puppet is one module that can meet this need. Mcollective also requiers an working ActiveMQ (or RabbitMQ - not supported by this module at this time) setup

Setup

What puppet affects

  • /etc/puppetlabs/mcollective/server.cfg
  • mcollective service
  • /etc/puppetlabs/mcollective/client.cfg (optional)
  • client and agent packages (optional)

Beginning with mcollective

This module can be installed with

  puppet module install evenup-mcollective

Usage

Installing the server component:

  class { 'mcollective':
    stomp_host     => 'activemq.company.com',
    stomp_user     => 'mcollective',
    stomp_password => 'secretpass',
  }

Adding the client to a node and accessible to users in the mco-users group:

  class { 'mcollective':
    stomp_host     => 'activemq.company.com',
    stomp_user     => 'mcollective',
    stomp_password => 'secretpass',
    client         => true,
    client_group   => 'mco-users',
  }
