Overview

TCP port testing for Puppet.

very definitely based upon https://github.com/BIAndrews/porttest

Also found at https://forge.puppet.com/redlegoman/porttest

Setup

What porttest affects

  • A small python script is installed in a user configurable location. This runs the TCP testing. On success a file is touched so the host:port is only tested once instead of being tested on every puppet agent run.

Setup Requirements

Python is needed and assumed installed. Even old RedHat 5 systems have the needed Python modules installed.

Beginning with porttest

Usage

porttest::tcp { 'test tcp 80 to google.com': 
  target => [ 'google.com:80' ], 
  timeout   => '2', 
}
