USAGE - Basic management

• Install solr with default settings

    class { "solr": }
  

• Remove solr

    class { "solr":
      absent => true,
    }
  

• Define solr installation method: Valid values for install => are "package" (default), "source" and "puppi".

    class { "solr":
      install => "source",
    }
  

• Install source from a custom url to a custom install_destination path. The following parameters apply both for "source" and "puppi" install methods. Puppi method may be used to manage deployment updates (given the $install_source is updated). By default install_source is set to upstream developer and install_destination to Web (App) server document root Pre and post installation commands may be already defined (check solr/manifests/params.pp) override them only if needed. Url_check and url_pattern are used for application checks, if monitor is enabled. Override only if needed.

    class { "solr":
      install             => "source",
      install_source      => "http://deploy.example42.com/solr/solr.tar.gz",
      install_destination => "/opt/apps/",
      # install_precommand  => "...",
      # install_postcommand => "...",
      # url_check           => "...",
      # url_pattern         => "...",
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { "solr":
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/solr/solr.conf-$hostname" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/solr/solr.conf" ], 
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

    class { "solr":
      template => "example42/solr/solr.conf.erb",      
    }
  

• Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the solr class

    class { "solr":
      template => "example42/solr/solr.conf.erb",    
      options  => {
        'LogLevel' => 'INFO',
        'UsePAM'   => 'yes',
      },
    }
  

• Automaticallly include a custom subclass

    class { "solr:"
      my_class => 'lab42::solr',
    }
  

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default) Note that this option requires the usage of Example42 puppi module

    class { "solr": 
      puppi    => true,
    }
  

• Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default) This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

    class { "solr":
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ "nagios" , "monit" , "munin" ],
    }
