##Overview

The puppet module to install and configure Nagdash. Nagdash is a dashboarding tool for Nagios.

Build Status

##Module Description

The puppet module to install and configure Nagdash. It pulls the nagdash from it's source on github and configures your webserver to properly serve the application.

##Setup

###What nagdash affects

###Beginning with nagdash

To install nagdash with defaults:

include 'nagdash'

To install from a different source repo:

class { 'nagdash':
  repository_source => 'http://mysourcecontrol.com/myfork/nagdash'
}

To install a specific commit of the repository:

class { 'nagdash':
  repository_revision => '3d30f19ecc6bc8d12a16b0d9e5dba85f0fba9b5a'
}

By default, the source of the application gets installed to /var/www/nagdash. To change this:

class { 'nagdash':
  webroot => '/usr/local/nagdash'
}

Nagdash has the ability to display the information for 1 or more nagios hosts. To specify the hosts to display, we can pass information to the module as follows:

$myhost = {
    'firsthost.mydomain.com' => {'port' => '8080', 'protocol' => 'http', 'tag' => 'MY', 'tagcolour' => '#336699', any_nagdash_setting => 'value', ....}
}

class {'nagdash':
  hosts => $myhost
}

You can specify more than 1 host to pass to the class e.g.

$hostlist = {
    'firsthost.mydomain.com' => {'port' => '8080', 'protocol' => 'http', 'tag' => '1st', 'tagcolour' => '#336699', any_nagdash_setting => 'value', ....},
    'secondhost.mydomain.com' => {'port' => '8080', 'protocol' => 'http', 'tag' => '2nd', 'tagcolour' => '#191919', any_nagdash_setting => 'value', ....}
}

class {'nagdash':
  hosts => $hostlist
}
