Just include opsview_client in your node's run_list:
{
"name":"my_node",
"run_list": [
"recipe[opsview_client]"
]
}Include this resource in your recipe to have the host dynamically registered with OpsView.
opsview_client node['fqdn'] do
api_user 'userid'
api_password 'passw0rd'
api_protocol 'http'
api_port 80
ip node['ipaddress']
hostgroup 'Test_Hostgroup'
hostalias 'Chef client test'
hosttemplates node['opsview']['hosttemplates']
reload_opsview false
endTo converge the cookbook will require access to an opsview server api, and user credentials to authenticate with.
Add the following .kitchen.local.yml file to your cookbook directory with the relevant config.
---
suites:
- name: client
run_list: ["recipe[opsview_client_test::test]"]
attributes: { 'opsview' : { 'server_url' : '192.168.1.1' },
'opsview_client_test': { 'host': '192.168.1.1',
'user': 'chef',
'password': 'chef'} }
Testing the win2012 platform assumes that you have already imported a vagrant box named win2012, configured for winrm access.
