Description

A puppet module that allows us to install and configure the Pentaho server leveraging in files as templates and a hierarchical schema of tokens.

Any file can be deployed and/or any configuration can be done underneath the PENTAHO_HOME folder.

This module is not designed to install and/or configure databases.

Setup

What Pentaho affects

  • Creates a new user.
  • Creates a new group.
  • Creates a new home directory under the /home.

Setup Requirements

Any database dependencies MUST be resolved in advance.

Beginning with pentaho

To have the module with the default pameters, include the class pentaho:

include '::pentaho'.

When you declare this class with the default options, the module:

  • Install a CE distribution
  • Install the 7.1.0 version
  • Copy the Pentaho software from puppet:///modules/pentaho/software/pentaho-server-ce-7.1.0.0-12.zip
  • Create the user pentaho
  • Create the group pentaho
  • Create the home directory /home/pentaho
  • Create a backup folder from the previous deploy
  • Use the directory /tmp/pentaho_template as a temporary space

Customize deploy options

To change the default options, declare the class pentaho setting the new values for the parameters:

class { '::pentaho':
  backup => false,
  source => 'puppet:///modules/pentaho/software/pentaho-server-ce-7.0.0.zip',
  version => '7.0.0'
}

Usage

The module was designed to be flexible enough to copy files and do lookups/replaces of tokens based on metadata and hierarchical priorities.

The following metadata are used:

  • pentaho::dist - Pentaho distribution being installed (ce/ee).
  • pentaho::version - Pentaho version being installed.
  • fqdn - fully qualified domain name for the Pentaho server.
  • pentaho_env - A variable, on the Pentaho server, that represent the environment being installed, such as DEV / QA / PROD.

The pentaho::dist and pentaho::version are defined during the import of the pentaho classe or assuming their default values.

The fqdn is the hostname configured on the Pentaho server itself.

If used, the pentaho_env must be defined on the Pentaho server, exporting a variable called FACTER_PENTAHO_ENV.

export FACTER_PENTAHO_ENV=dev

Copying and 'templating' files

Files can be copied from the puppet-server to every pentaho server (puppet-agent) to be used in the build process of the new installation package.

Every text file can also hold tokens to be replaced for the appropriate value during the build process, that will scan a set of definitions files to lookup the more specific value for each token. This feature leverage on the Hiera and templates based on ERB.

The files must be placed in a properly structure under the /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/pentaho/files/fs folder.

Below the order that the files are copied, starting by the more generics and ending by the more specifics.

fs/files
fs/${pentaho::dist}/files
fs/${pentaho::dist}/${pentaho::version}/files
fs/${pentaho::dist}/${pentaho::version}/${fqdn}/files
fs/${pentaho::dist}/${pentaho::version}/${pentaho_env}/files
fs/${pentaho::dist}/${pentaho::version}/${fqdn}/${pentaho_env}/files

For instance:

  1. fs/ce/7.1.0/files/pentaho-server/start-pentaho.sh
  2. fs/ce/7.1.0/files/pentaho-server/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/META-INF/context.xml
  3. fs/files/pentaho-server/tomca/lib/postgresql-42.1.4.jar
  4. fs/files/README-PUPPET.txt

Each installation of Pentaho CE 7.1.0 the files (1) and (2) will be copied and files the (3) and (4) will be copied for all installations.

To tokenise the text files use the code <%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::token-name']) %>.

The pentaho-server/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/META-INF/context.xml could be tokenised as the follow:

<Resource name="jdbc/Quartz" auth="Container" 
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory" 
    maxTotal="20" maxIdle="5"
    maxWaitMillis="10000"
    username="<%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::quartz-jdbc-username']) %>"
    password="<%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::quartz-jdbc-password']) %>"
    url="<%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::quartz-jdbc-url']) %>"
    driverClassName="<%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::quartz-jdbc-driver']) %>"
    validationQuery="<%= scope().call_function('lookup',['pentaho::quartz-jdbc-query']) %>"
/>

During the building process, the tokens for the username, password, url, driverClassName and validationQuery will be replaced by values relative to the server being installed.

Token files

The Hiera scan the definition files on the following order and the .yaml files must be stored under the /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/pentaho/data/fs folder.

fs/%{pentaho::dist}/%{pentaho::version}/%{fqdn}/%{::pentaho_env}.yaml
fs/%{pentaho::dist}/%{pentaho::version}/%{::pentaho_env}.yaml
fs/%{pentaho::dist}/%{pentaho::version}/%{fqdn}.yaml
fs/%{pentaho::dist}/%{pentaho::version}.yaml
fs/%{pentaho::dist}.yaml
fs/general.yaml

For the example above, we would have the following .yaml files:

  • For all Pentaho CE 7.1.0 without the PENTAHO_ENV variable
fs/ce/7.1.0.yaml

---
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-url: jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/quartz
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-driver: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-username: pentaho_user
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-password: password
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-query: select count(*) from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SYSTEM_SEQUENCES
  • For a Pentaho server CE 7.1.0 / DEV
fs/ce/7.1.0/dev.yaml

---
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-url: jdbc:postgresql://dev-db.mycompany.com:5432/quartz
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-driver: org.postgresql.Driver
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-username: pentaho_user
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-password: password
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-query: select 1
  • For a Pentaho server CE 7.1.0 / PROD
fs/ce/7.1.0/prod.yaml

---
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-url: jdbc:postgresql://prod-db.mycompany.com:5432/quartz
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-driver: org.postgresql.Driver
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-username: pentaho_user
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-password: password
pentaho::quartz-jdbc-query: select 1
