Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place.

Cookbooks

Recipes

newrelic-infra::default

Determines the platform and includes the appropriate platform specific recipe.
This is the only recipe that should be included in a node's run list.

newrelic-infra::agent_linux

Installs and configures the Infrastructure agent on a Linux host.
This recipe should NOT be directly included in a node's run list.
The default recipe will automatically determine which platform specific recipe to apply.

  1. Adds the newrelic-infra package repository source
  2. Can install, upgrade, or remove the newrelic-infra package. By default, the package is only installed.
  3. Enables and starts the newrelic_infra agent service
  4. Generates the agent configuration file
  5. Includes the newrelic-infra::host_integrations recipe to install and configure any on-host integrations

newrelic-infra::agent_windows

Installs and configures the Infrastructure agent on a Windows host.
This recipe should NOT be directly included in a node's run list.
The default recipe will automatically determine which platform specific recipe to apply.
Currently, Windows host configuration is NOT supported by this cookbook.
An error will be raised and fail the chef-client run for any detected Windows nodes.

newrelic-infra::host_integrations

Installs New Relic provided and custom on-host integrations if the associated feature flag is enabled (i.e., default['newrelic_infra']['features]['host_integrations']).
Generates configuration for any of the available on-host integrations from New Relic.
Installs any custom integrations defined with attributes.
For more infromation on the available custom resource for installing and configuring custom on-host integrations see the Custom resources documentation.

Example configuration for a custom on-host integration installed and configured via attributes:

default['newrelic_infra']['custom_integrations']['test_integration'] = {
  integration_name: 'com.test.integration',
  remote_url: 'https://url-to-a-tarball-for-install.com/test.tar.gz',
  instances: [
    {
      name: 'test_integration_metrics',
      command: 'metrics',
      arguments: {
        test: true
      },
      labels: {
        environment: 'test'
      }
    }
  ],
  commands: {
    metrics: %w[--metrics]
  }
}

For more information on the available New Relic on-host integrations and configuration see:

  1. Cassandra
  2. MySQL
  3. Nginx

newrelic-infra Cookbook CHANGELOG

This file is used to list changes made in each version of the newrelic-infra cookbook.

0.3.2

IMPROVEMENTS:

0.3.1

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Add .kitchen.dokken.yml to allow Test Kitchen tests in Docker
  • Add .travis.yml to run tests in Travis CI
  • Typo fixes
  • Change "LWRP" to "custom resource" in documentation
  • Automatically deploy with Travis CI to supermarket

0.3.0

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • The minimum supported Chef version is now 12.15+ instead of 12.14+.
  • The prefix name for custom on-host integrations has been changed to use the name of the Chef resource instead of the integration name since the New Relic Infrastructure API does not accept prefix names with .'s.

FEATURES:

  • Add sensitive to all configuration file resources as well as associated unit testing for the sensitive property.

BUG FIXES:

  • Remove the use of Hash#compact, which only works with Ruby >= 2.4. No versions of Chef 12.x ship with a version of Ruby this new. Replace with monkey patched method Hash.delete_blank (#18).
  • Modify the generated YAML configuration files to generate a format that is compatible with the Infrastructure agent's Go YAML parser (#19).

0.2.0

FEATURES:

  • Add sensitive to agent configuration file resource

0.1.0

NOTE: Versions prior to 0.1.0 were not tagged or released on the Chef supermarket.

BREAKING CHANGES:

  • Attribute namespace changed: The top-level attribute key was changed from newrelic-infra to newrelic_infra in order to be used as both strings and symbols.
  • Only chef-client versions >= 12.14 are supported.
  • Lots of attribute changes to help simplify configuration generation. See the [README][2] for more details.

FEATURES:

  • Testing added: Unit and integration tests added. See the [CONTRIBUTING][3] guide for more details.
  • newrelic_infra_integration LWRP added: An LWRP for installing and configuring custom New Relic Infrastructure on-host integrations. Custom integrations can also be installed using by including the default recipe and the appropriate attributes.
  • New Relic On-Host integrations: Added the capability to install and configure the New Relic provided on-host integrations. See the [README][3] for more details on what attributes to set.

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Updated the apt and YUM repository resources to use metaprogramming. This allows all properties available for each of the respective resources to be available as attributes.
  • Resolved all Rubocop and Foodcritic violations.
