kandi X-RAY | knife-essentials Summary

knife-essentials is a Ruby library typically used in Devops, Configuration Management, Chef applications. knife-essentials has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

knife-essentials supports wildcards internally, and will use them to sift through objects on the server. This can be very useful. However, since it uses the same wildcard characters as the Unix command line (*, ?, etc.), you need to backslash them so that the * actually reaches the server. If you don't, the shell will expand the * into actual filenames and knife will never know you typed * in the first place. For example, if the Chef server has data bags aardvarks, anagrams and arp_tables, but your local filesystem only has aardvarks and anagrams, backslashing vs. not backslashing will yield slightly different results:.

You cannot use an Exec resource to perform the check, because you need to perform the evaluation during catalog building, and resources are not applied until after the catalog is built. Moreover, the test command tests for the existence of a the specified path. It does not know about URLs, and even if it did, it would be unlikely to recognize or handle the puppet: URL scheme. Furthermore, there is no association whatever between resource titles and variable names.

To gather data at catalog building time, you're looking for a puppet function. It is not that hard to add your own custom function to Puppet, but you don't need that for your case -- the built-in file() function will serve your purpose. It might look something like this:

QUESTION

Declaring configuration of custom configurable application in java?

Asked 2020-Nov-10 at 11:42

So for a hobby project of mine, I would like to create an application that translates an HTTP call and request between two services.

The application does that based on a configuration that can be set by the user. The idea is that the application listens to an incoming API call translates the call and then forwards it.

Then the application waits for a response then translates the response and sends it back to the caller.

A translation can be as simple as renaming a field value in a body object or replace a header field to the body.

I think a translation should begin with mapping the correct URL so here is an example of what I was thinking of a configuration should look like:

I have done something sort-of-similar in a different context (generate code from an input specification), so I will provide an outline of what I did to provide some food for thought. I used Config4* (disclosure: I developed that). If the approach I describe below is of interest to you, then I suggest you read Chapters 2 and 3 of the Config4* Getting Started Guide to get an overview of the Config4* syntax and API. Alternatively, express the concepts below in a different configuration syntax, such as XML.

Config4* is a configuration syntax, and the subset of syntax relevant to this discussion is as follows:

I have written separate playbooks for tomcat deployment on both Ubuntu and Linux as well, instead of mentioning **

**in every line in the playbook, i want to run the whole playbook only when this condition meets.

This is my code

Q: "I want to run the playbook only on the hosts based on the ansible_distribution."

A: It's not possible to include a playbook. This would run the playbooks recursively.

Only import of a playbook is available. Moreover import_playbook is not a task. It's simply a tool to modularize large playbooks with multiple plays.

Ansible conditionals do not apply to import_playbook the same way as they do not apply to playbooks.

Instead, it is possible to create a group that will be used in the playbook.
