Description

This module includes functions to obtain an array of nodes with puppet resources that match specific criteria. This is useful for things like getting a dynamic list of nodes that are cluster members. The module does not use exported resources, although puppetdb is required.

Setup

Deploying the module to an environment should be all that is necessary to use the included functions. The module does not manage any resources.

Usage

The following example uses the 'peers::resource_by_param' function in a manifest to get an array of nodes that have the 'elasticsearch' class assigned with the 'config.cluster.name' parameter set to 'cluster-1'. Based on the returned array you can do things like check if the current node is already a member, join the cluster, adjust the value for quorum, and update seed hosts.

$elk_servers = peers::resource_by_param('elasticsearch', 'config.cluster.name', 'cluster-1')

The functions default to the node's environment, but this can be overridden by passing another parameter to the function. To repeat the last Elasticsearch query, but in the "test" environment:

$elk_servers = peers::resource_by_param('elasticsearch', 'config.cluster.name', 'cluster-1', 'test')

The other module functions enable searching for nodes based on different criteria. See the module reference for details, but here's another example to get nodes with the 'elasticsearch' module assigned, this time matching nodes based on the trusted fact extension 'pp_cluster' set to the value of 'cluster-01':

$elk_servers = peers::resource_by_tx('elasticsearch', 'pp_cluster', 'cluster-01')

Besides direct configuration of the Elasticsearch cluster, the array of cluster nodes could be useful to setup a kibana resource:

$elk_servers = peers::resource_by_param('elasticsearch', 'config.cluster.name', 'cluster-1')

class { 'kibana':
  config  => {
    'server.host'         => fact('networking.ip'),
    'elasticsearch.hosts' => $elk_servers.map |$node| { "http://${node}:9200" },
  },
}

Limitations

The module uses a fairly basic puppetdb query and should work with all supported Puppet distributions where puppetdb is included.
