Overview
The bloonix_agent module installs, configures and manages bloonix-agent
Module Description
The bloonix_agent module installs, configures and manages bloonix-agent and optionally autoregisters with a bloonix server.
Setup
What bloonix_agent affects
- This module will set up a repository (depending on your osfamily this is either APT or YUM)
- This module will install the bloonix-agent package on your system
- This module will manage the bloonix-agent config on your system
- This module will manage the bloonix-agent service on your system (optional)
Setup Requirements
On Debian Systems, this module requires the puppetlabs/apt module.
Getting started
You need to pass $config_bloonix_server, which should be the fqdn of your bloonix-server.
class { '::bloonix_agent':
config_bloonix_server => 'bloonix.example.com',
}
Usage
Connecting to bloonix-server via SSL
class { '::bloonix_agent':
config_bloonix_server => 'bloonix.example.com',
config_server_use_ssl => true,
}
Enable Autoregistration
See this Documentation It will enable you to automatically register hosts with your bloonix-server (useful for automated deployments) Only available in German, but the screenshots should show you enough to know where to get the company key and id from. In order for the autoregistration to work, you will need to pass config_bloonix_webgui:
class { '::bloonix_agent':
config_bloonix_server => 'bloonix.example.com',
config_bloonix_webgui => 'http://bloonix.example.com',
config_register_enable => true,
config_register_company_id => '2',
config_register_company_authkey => 'theFANCYkeyYOUgotFROMtheGUI',
config_register_description => 'Maybe something with facter facts here',
}
Configure the bloonix-agent
You can configure everything in the main.conf file from here. The configuration options are named config_$as_named_in_bloonix, so bloonix' use_sudo translates to config_use_sudo, bloonix' agents translates to config_bloonix_agent and so on. Please see params.pp and the bloonix documentation for a full set of options. Here are some examples.
Run 2 Agents and set a custom simple_plugins path
class { '::bloonix_agent':
config_bloonix_server => 'bloonix.example.com',
config_agents => '2',
config_simple_plugins => '/usr/local/lib/bloonix/simple-plugins,/usr/lib/bloonix/simple-plugins,/usr/local/bin',
}
Set a different include path and logfile
class { '::bloonix_agent':
config_bloonix_server => 'bloonix.example.com',
config_include => '/usr/local/bloonix/conf.d',
config_log_filename => '/usr/local/log/mylogfile.log',
}
