Overview

There was not an ldirectord puppet module. So here one is.

Module Description

Installs ldirectord from the mainteners website, from puppet source, or from package. Provides new type, to configure load balancer entries.

Setup

What ldirectord affects

  • Installs ldirectord in /usr/sbin/
  • Installs all needed perl modules,
  • Installs ipvsadm

Setup Requirements OPTIONAL

  • pluginsync = true is required.
  • puppetlabs concat module required
  • puppetlabs stdlib required.

Beginning with ldirectord

To get started you can simply define a vritual host

 ldirectord::virtual_host { "servicename-80":
   entrynumber  => 1,
   name         => "servicename-80",
   virtual      => "192.168.xx.xx",
   real         => [ "192.168.xx.xx", "192.168.xx.xx" ],
   real_options => "gate",
   port         => '80',
   service      => 'http',
   request      => '/lb.html',
   receive      => 'up',
   protocol     => 'tcp',
   scheduler    => 'wlc',
   checktype    => 'negotiate',
   persistent   => '900',
 }

The above defined by itself will include the ldirector class and give you an /etc/ldirector.cf file that looks like so: #Managed by puppet using ldirectord module.

checkinterval=15
checktimeout=15
autoreload=no
quiescent=yes
logfile="/var/log/ldirectord.log"
virtual=192.168.xx.xx:80
    real=192.168.xx.xx:80 gate
    real=192.168.xx.xx:80 gate
    service=http
    request="/lb.html"
    receive="up"
    scheduler=wlc
    protocol=tcp
    checktype=negotiate
    persistent=900

Unfortantly every entry you add you will need to increment the entrynumber,
this is required because the concat module is used to prepare the the config file

Usage

The defaults should be enough to get you started with a global options config but no virtual hosts.

if you want to edit the default global oiptions you can do so like so:

class { ::ldirectord:
  #Install Options
  download_location = 'http://horms.net/projects/ldirectord/download/ldirectord-latest',
  package_name      = 'ldirectord',
  #Global Options
  configfile_path   = '/etc/ldirector.cf',
  checkinterval     = '15',
  checktimeout      = '15',
  connecttimeout    = undef,
  negotiatetimeout  = undef,
  checkcount        = undef,
  autoreload        = 'no',
  callback          = undef,
  quiescent         = 'yes',
  logfile           = '/var/log/ldirectord.log',
}

Note: If you want to install ldirectord from a package rather then the maintaners website, change download location to package,
If you want to install from a puppet file, change to puppet and place the ldirectord file you want to use in the file directory

Defining a service the following options are available:

  ldirectord::virtual_host { "servicename":
    entrynumber,
    name,
    virtual,
    real,
    real_options,
    port,
    service,
    protocol,
    scheduler,
    checktype = undef,
    checkport = undef,
    httpmethod = undef,
    virtualhost = undef,
    login = undef,
    passwd = undef,
    database = undef,
    request = undef,
    receive = undef,
    checktype = undef,
    netmask = undef,
    persistent = undef,
  }

Will update later

Limitations

This is where you list OS compatibility, version compatibility, etc. Tested on Centos6, and ubuntu 12.04
