How do I automate the installation of hyperic with Puppet?

Question

I'm trying to automate the installation of Hyperic using puppet.

However instead of prompting the user for inputs, I want to hard code the values into one of the .sh file...

I'm having trouble trying to figure out what file should be edited?

Answer 1

So, I've automated the installation of Hyperic with Puppet at some point, I'll see if I can open source the module in the future.

But the gist of it, is that you need config for everything in the agent.properties file, then that's read when the /opt/hyperic/hyperic-hqee-agent/bin/hq-agent.sh start command is run for the first time.

Something like this:

  $server_ip         = 'hypericserver.example.com'
  $server_port       = '7080'
  $ssl_port          = '7443'
  $secure            = 'no'
  $login             = 'hqadminuser'
  $password          = 'password1'
  $agent_ip          = '*default*'
  $agent_port        = '*default*'
  $resetup_tokens    = 'no'
  $accept_unverified = 'no'
  $unidirectional    = 'yes'

file { "/opt/hyperic/hyperic-hqee-agent/conf/agent.properties":
  ensure  => file,
  mode    => '0640',
  content => template('hyperic/agent.properties.erb'),
}

With the template looking something like:

# Agent configuration file
#
# The following are the properties that the Agent recognizes:
#
#    agent.listenPort
#         Default:      "2144"
#
#         Description:  Port that the agent listens on.
#
#    agent.listenIp
#         Default:      "*"
#
#         Description:  Address that the agent listens on.  If set to '*',
#                       the agent will listen on all available interfaces.
#
#    agent.startupTimeOut
#         Default:      "300"
#
#         Description:  This is the number of seconds that the agent startup
#                       script will wait before determining that the agent
#                       did not startup successfully.
#
#    agent.maxBatchSize
#         Default:      "500"
#
#         Description:  This is the maximum number of metrics that the
#                       agent will send per contact with HQ.
#
#
#    agent.eventReportBatchSize
#         Default:      "100"
#
#         Description:  The agent will send events to HQ in reports containing
#                       at most this number of events until all events have been
#                       sent to HQ.
#
#
#    agent.proxyHost
#         Default:      none
#
#         Description:  The host name or IP address of the proxy server that the
#                       agent must connect to first when establishing a connection
#                       to the HQ server.
#
#
#    agent.proxyPort
#         Default:      none
#
#         Description:  The port number of the proxy server that the agent
#                       must connect to first when establishing a connection to
#                       the HQ server.
#
#
#    agent.enabledCiphers
#         Default:      SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5,SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,SSL_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
#
#         Description:  The ciphers supported for secured communication with the agent.
