Chef::Etcd

Provides chef resource/provider to access etcd key value pairs and report/event handlers to publish chef run data into etcd.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'chef-etcd'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install chef-etcd

Usage

1. require the chef-etcd library in your client config (knife.rb/solo.rb/client.rb) and set Chef::Config[:etcd] to an existing etcd node.

require 'chef/etcd'
node_name 'something'
etcd_host = '192.168.122.1'
Chef::Config[:etcd]= {host:etcd_host}

1. you can use the resource/provider to get/set etcd keys

etcd "/test/recipe/set" do
  action :set
  value Time.now.to_s
end

etcd "/test/recipe/delete" do
  action :set
  value Time.now.to_s
end

etcd "/test/recipe/delete" do
  action :delete
  value Time.now.to_s
end

etcd "/test/recipe/test_and_set" do
  action :set
  value "0"
end

etcd "/test/recipe/test_and_set" do
  action :test_and_set
  value Time.now.to_s
  prev_value "0"
end

etcd "/test/recipe/watch" do
  action :set
  value Time.now.to_s
end

Chef::Log.warn("This will halt the recipe, and you have to update the recipe from outside or do some thread foo here")
etcd "/test/recipe/watch" do
  action :watch
  value Time.now.to_s
end

1. To publish node data using the report handler, or to monitor realtime chef resource convergence(event handler), add following configurations to your client.rb/solo.rb

event_handlers [Chef::EventDispatch::Etcd.new(host: etcd_host)]
report_handlers << Chef::Handler::EtcdReport.new(host: etcd_host)
