Hi,
I am having problems getting cfengine to keep promises. I admit that I am
completely new to cfengine and have only been working with it for a few
weeks now. I am using Automating Linux and Unix System Administration,
second edition as my primary reference, with a smattering of other
resources. The fun part about cfengine is that every time I think I am
starting to get my head around it, my brain falls out on the floor. :)
I have set up a server on a openvz container called worf (based on Chapters
5 and 7, for those of you keeping score). cfagent.conf is all imports, and
the basic configuration seemed to do what it was told (cron entries and ntp
-- I disabled the motd, since I didn't need it for my test network), except
that it wants to move the symlink that Debian creates from
/var/lib/cfengine2/inputs -> /etc/cfengine and create a real
directory...Even though in my directories directive I have
directories:
any::
$(workdir)/backups mode=700 owner=root group=root
$(workdir)/outputs mode=700 owner=root group=root
$(workdir)/ppkeys mode=700 owner=root group=root
$(workdir)/cfengine/sums mode=700 owner=root group=root
$(workdir)/tmp mode=700 owner=root group=root
!debian::
$(workdir)/bin mode=700 owner=root group=root
$(workdir)/inputs mode=700 owner=root group=root
and in links, I have
links:
!debian::
$(workdir)/bin/cfagent -> $(cf_base_path)/cfagent
define=hupcfexecdandcfservd
debian::
$(workdir)/inputs -> /etc/cfengine
So right now, I have an ntp script working. I tried to add a second script
to manage syslog-ng. I am looking to a) make sure the target is using the
right syslog-ng, b) if not, replace and restart, and c) make sure that
syslog-ng is running. It is doing none of these. In fact, when I run a
cfagent -v, the only reference to it in any of my runs was when the
cf.syslog-ng was copied to /var/lib/cfengine2/inputs/... I tried doing a
cfagent -d -v, but the amount of output was a lot to wade through...And I'm
still trying to make heads or tails of it. There were more references to
cf.syslog-ng, but nothing immediately jumped out at me telling me why it was
failing.
My cf.syslog-ng is as follows:
classes:
logserver = ( "/usr/bin/test -d /var/log/master" )
ng_hosts = ( "/usr/bin/test -d /etc/syslog-ng" )
control:
AddInstallable = ( restartsyslog )
AllowRedefinitionOf = ( syslog_conf_file )
syslog_conf_dest = ( /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf )
syslog_conf_source = ( syslog-ng.conf.client )
logserver::
syslog_conf_source = ( syslog-ng.conf.server )
files:
$(syslog_conf_dest) mode=0644 owner=root group=root
copy:
$(master_etc)/syslog-ng/$(syslog_conf_source) dest=$(syslog_conf_dest)
mode=644
type=checksum
server=$(fileserver)
encrypt=true
owner=root
group=root
define=restartsyslog
shellcommands:
restartsyslog::
"/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart" timeout=30 inform=true
processes:
"syslog-ng" restart "/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart" timeout=30
inform=true
and in cfagent.conf
ng_hosts::
tasks/os/cf.syslog-ng
I can provide more information as needed, but I wasn't sure what the
protocol for this list wrt large posts. Could someone help me to figure this
out?
Thanks,
