Chef cookbook for the abiquo-writer collectd plugin

Build Status
collectd-abiquo Cookbook
Chef Version

This cookbook provides a recipe to install the Abiquo collectd plugin.
It integrates any virtual machine deployed in the Abiquo platform with the
metrics system and allows them to push their own metrics to the Abiquo API.

Requirements

The cookbook has been tested in the following platforms:

  • CentOS 6.7
  • Ubuntu 16.04

The cookbook depends on the following cookbooks:

  • collectd-lib
  • python
  • yum-epel

Recipes

  • recipe[collectd-abiquo] - Installs collectd and the Abiquo monitoring plugin
  • recipe[collectd-abiquo::collectd] - Installs and configures collectd and the default plugins
  • recipe[collectd-abiquo::plugin] - Installs and configures the Abiquo collectd plugin

Attributes

The following attributes are under the node['collectd_abiquo'] namespace.

Attribute Description Type Mandatory Default value
['endpoint'] The endpoint where the plugin will push the metrics String Yes nil
['auth_type'] The authentication method used to push metrics to the Abiquo API (basic oauth) String No
['python_module_path'] The path where python modules are installed String No /usr/lib/collectd
['packages'] The names of the collectd packages to install List No ['collectd'] (['collectd-core', 'libpython2.7'] in Ubuntu)
['plugins'] The names of the default collectd plugins to install List No ['cpu', 'disk', 'interface']
['log_traces'] Enables the Abiquo plugin log Boolean No true
['version'] The version of the Abiquo plugin to install String No master
['url'] The URL of the Abiquo plugin file String Yes https://rawgit.com/abiquo/collectd-abiquo/master/abiquo-writer.py
['verify_ssl'] Enable SSL validation when pushing the metrics Boolean No false
['flush_interval_secs'] Interval in which the metrics are pushed, in seconds Integer No 30

Usage

The cookbook is pretty straightforward to use. Just set all the mandatory attributes with the values for
the notification endpoint and the authentication type, and include the recipe[collectd-abiquo] in the
run list. You'll have to configure a data bag with the credentials in the Chef Server as explained below.

Configuring access to the Abiquo API

In order to let the collectd plugin push metrics to the Abiquo API, the credentials must be stored in a
data bag with an item named collectd_basic (for basic auth credentials) or collectd_oauth (for OAuth
credentials). The recipes will pick the right data bag item according to the value of the node['collectd_abiquo']['auth_type']
attribute. The name of the data bag can be configured with the node['collectd_abiquo']['credentials_data_bag']
8defaults to abiquo_credentials). Convenience items are included in this cookbook. You can upload them to the
Chef Server as follows:

knife data bag create abiquo_credentials
knife data bag from file abiquo_credentials data_bags/abiquo_credentials/collectd_basic.json
knife data bag from file abiquo_credentials data_bags/abiquo_credentials/collectd_oauth.json

Testing

In order to test the cookbook you will need to install Vagrant and VirtualBox.
Once installed you can run the unit and integration tests as follows:

bundle install
bundle exec berks install   # Install the cookbook dependencies
bundle exec rake            # Run the unit and style tests
bundle exec rake kitchen    # Run the integration tests

The tests and Gemfile have been developed using Ruby 2.1.5, and that is the recommended Ruby version to use to run the tests.
Other versions may cause conflicts with the versions of the gems Bundler will install.
