ibm_apm Cookbook

I am no longer working on this code as of 2019-11-15. I have moved on to check_mk. My Check_MK project is private for now.

Scope

Todo: Identify the scope of what exactly this cookbook addresses. Are there any edge cases associated with your cookbook tasks that were decided not to be supported?

Requirements

Todo: List any technical requirements for using this cookbook. Do you need to install binaries from the network? Does the cookbook make other assumptions about the environment for it to be used? Does the operating system need to have any special configuration before using this cookbook (i.e. disable selinux)? Also, tailor the subsections below:

Platforms

Redhat 7.x+

Chef

Chef 12

Dependencies

lvm
limits
selinux
hostsfile

Usage

Todo: This will be unique depending on how the cookbook is developed and the tools it provides to configure nodes. Here's a simple example of using a cookbook and it's recipe. You'll want to elaborate on your own steps and include any necessary steps like setting required attributes.

Place a dependency on the ibm_apm cookbook in your cookbook's metadata.rb.

depends 'ibm_apm'

Then, in a recipe:

include_recipe 'ibm_apm::fix_apm'

If your cookbook provides resources, be sure to include examples of how to use those resources, in addition to the resources documentation section below.

Attributes

default['ibm_apm']['my_attribute']: Describe the purpose or usage of this attribute. Defaults to somevalue. Indicate the attribute type if necessary.

Recipes

default.rb

Todo: Provide a description for the purpose of this recipe file. What does it do? When would I use it? Does it invoke other recipes?

Custom Resources

Todo: You only need to provide documentation for custom resources if your cookbook actually provides them. Not all cookbooks have custom resources. If you don't known what this means, then your cookbook probably doesn't have them either and can omit this documentation.

resource_name

Todo: Add a description or purpose for this resource. What does it do?

Actions

:do_something: Description of this action
:another_action: Description of this action

Properties

property_name - Description of this property. What is it used for? What is it's default value?
property_name2 - Description of this property. What is it used for? What is it's default value?

Examples

todo: Describe this example and what it will accomplish.

# code samples are helpful
ibm_apm_resource_name 'some value' do
  property_name 'another value'
  property_name2 'foo bar'
  action :do_something
end

And don't forgot to show an example for your other actions.

# code samples are helpful
ibm_apm_resource_name 'some value' do
  property_name 'another value'
  property_name2 'foo bar'
  action :another_action
end
