Description
This is a Chef report handler that exports a report in json format to the configured server/port We are using it to report to logstash but probably you can hook it into anything that accepts a json :)
Requirements
Only works on Chef >= 10.14
Usage
There are two ways to use Chef Handlers.
Method 1 (recommended)
Use the chef_handler cookbook by Opscode. Create a recipe with the following:
include_recipe "chef_handler"
# Install `chef-handler-logstash` gem during the compile phase
chef_gem "chef-handler-logstash"
# load the gem here so it gets added to the $LOAD_PATH, otherwise chef_handler
# will fail.
require 'chef/handler/chef_profiler'
# Activate the handler immediately during compile phase
chef_handler "Chef::Handler::Profiler" do
source "chef/handler/chef_profiler"
action :nothing
end.run_action(:enable)
Method 2
Install the gem ahead of time, and configure Chef to use them:
gem install chef-handler-logstash
Then add to the configuration (/etc/chef/solo.rb
for chef-solo or
/etc/chef/client.rb
for chef-client):
require "chef/handler/chef_profiler"
report_handlers << Chef::Handler::Profiler.new
exception_handlers << Chef::Handler::Profiler.new
