Documentation

fiddyspence/mcoresource — version 0.4.0 Jan 22nd 2014

This is the mcoresource module. It provides a core type and provider for triggering mcollective agent actions from a Puppet Catalog during a Catalog apply action on an agent...

Consider the following resource chain:

exec { '/bin/true': }
  ~>
mco { 'the thing':
  agent      => 'package',
  action     => 'upgrade',
  filter     => { 
                   'identity' => ['node1','node2','/somenodeswithacommonname/'],
                   'compound' => 'sysctl("vm.swappiness").value=50',
                   'class'    => ['aclass::withasubclass'],
                }          
  configfile => '/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective',
  wait       => true,
  parameters => { 'package' => 'openssl' }
}

The mco resource is set to refreshonly => true by default, so unless it's triggered by a refresh event from another resource nothing will happen.

If triggered, the mcollective RPC agent puppet, with the action runonce will be triggered (filtering works for classes and identity - watch for magic later - maybe version 0.0.2) using the configuration file at configfile

Other parameters:

wait: whether to hold for RPC responses
parameters: other options to send the mcollective agent (e.g. the status action on the package agent requires package=foo)
optionhash: other mcollective client options - will override any defaults (e.g. optionshash => { 'theoption' => 'thevalue' })
