MCollective Module

Author: Jeff McCune jeff@puppetlabs.com
Minor changes: Felipe Salum fsalum@gmail.com

This module manages MCollective from within Puppet.

Related Work

This is a fork from puppetlabs-mcollective with some minor changes, check CHANGELOG.

Quick Start

Manage both the mcollective server and client. Connect to the stomp server named "stomp."

node default {
  class { 'mcollective': }
}

Change the pre-shared key for both the client and the server:

node default {
  class { 'mcollective':
    mc_security_psk => 'abc123',
  }
}

Main parameters to specify:

node default {
  class { 'mcollective':
    mc_security_psk => 'abc123',
    stomp_server    => 'puppet.domain',
    stomp_user      => 'marionette',
    stomp_passwd    => 'mcollective',
    manage_plugins  => true,
    server          => true,
    client          => true,
  }
}

Registration

MCollective servers will automatically register themselves with the default behavior of this module. For more information about registration please see:

The out of box behavior is for all nodes to deploy a simple agent named 'registration' that writes information about the registering node to /var/tmp/mcollective This agent may be disabled to prevent all nodes from filling up their disks, but this is only an issue for extremely large sites.
