Description

This module sets up a the web pages which shows the patching status of your systems. The data are fed to PuppetDB through the scripts provided by the Puppet module albatrossflavour/os_patching and this module modules pulls the data (through a cron job) from the PuppetDB and convert them in HTML format. The module will copy the files that will be accessed by a web server, configure python virtualenv and set a crontab entry.

Requirements

  • Your web server of choice points to web_base directory
  • Your systems are already sending the patching status to the PuppetDB using the module albatrossflavour/os_patching

Setup

Setting up patching_status

This example will setup the web page:

class { '::patching_status':
  web_base    => /webserver/directory,
  script_base => /script/path,
  puppetdb    => '192.168.1.10';
}

Other parameters include:

  • puppetdb_port (default: 8080)
  • cron_hour (default: every hour)
  • cron_minute (default: once in 1 hour)
  • user (default: root. User to assign the files to and install the cron job)
  • group (default: root. Group to assign the files to)
  • package_name (default: it's guessed based on OS name, but it can be changed)

Development

Want to see improvements? Please help! I am not a front-end developer and I have only glued together a bunch of jQuery and JavaScripts.

Limitations

The package name for Python Requests is guessed only for RedHat/Debian family, but it can be customized through the paramter package_name, hence the module should be compatible with any Linux flavour on earth.
