cdist-explorer - Explore the target systems
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
Explorer are small shell scripts, which will be executed on the target
|
||||||
|
host. The aim of the explorer is to give hints to types on how to act on the
|
||||||
|
target system. An explorer outputs the result to stdout, which is usually
|
||||||
|
a one liner, but may be empty or multi line especially in the case of
|
||||||
|
type explorers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are general explorers, which are run in an early stage, and
|
||||||
|
type explorers. Both work almost exactly the same way, with the difference
|
||||||
|
that the values of the general explorers are stored in a general location and
|
||||||
|
the type specific below the object.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system by calling
|
||||||
|
$__explorer/<explorer_name> (general and type explorer) or
|
||||||
|
$__type_explorer/<explorer name> (type explorer).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In case of significant errors, the explorer may exit non-zero and return an
|
||||||
|
error message on stderr, which will cause the cdist run to abort.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EXAMPLES
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
A very simple explorer may look like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
hostname
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Which is in practise the "hostname" explorer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A type explorer, which could check for the status of a package may look like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/name" ]; then
|
||||||
|
name="$(cat "$__object/parameter/name")"
|
||||||
|
else
|
||||||
|
name="$__object_id"
|
||||||
|
fi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Except dpkg failing, if package is not known / installed
|
||||||
|
dpkg -s "$name" 2>/dev/null || exit 0
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
|
|
||||||
-----------
|
|
||||||
Cdist explorer are small shell scripts, which will be executed
|
|
||||||
on the target host. The aim of the explorer is to give hints
|
|
||||||
to types on how to act on the target system.
|
|
||||||
The explorer output the result of its investigation
|
|
||||||
to stdout and should be a one-liner. The output may be empty,
|
|
||||||
though.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cdist knows about general explorers, which are run in an early
|
|
||||||
stage and type specific explorers. Both work exactly the same way,
|
|
||||||
with the difference that the values of the general explorers
|
|
||||||
are stored in a general location and the type specific below
|
|
||||||
the types.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system
|
|
||||||
by calling ./<explorer_name> (i.e. explorers are run
|
|
||||||
from their location).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In case of significant errors, the shell script may exit
|
|
||||||
non-zero and return an error message on stderr, which
|
|
||||||
will cause the cdist run to abort.
