Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Attributes

Most of these are very straight-forward, and pulled directly from the manual.
See the inline documentation in attributes/*.rb for details.

The few "special" attributes are noted below:

  • default['monit']['config']['alert'] (default: []): this attributes configures global set alert config option for each Hash element with attribute name and optional event filters

Documentation for event filters can be found here.

"default_attributes": {
  "monit": {
    "config": {
      "alert": [
        {
                "name": "root@localhost",
                "but_not_on": [ "nonexist" ]
              },
              {
                "name": "netadmin@localhost",
                "only_on": [ "nonexist", "timeout", "icmp", "connection"]
              },
              {
                "name": "iwantall@localhost",
              }
            ]
    }
  }
}
  • default['monit']['config']['mail_servers'] (default: []): this attributes configures set mailserver config option for each Hash element (mail server) with hash like so:
"default_attributes": {
  "monit": {
    "config": {
            "mail_servers": [
          {
          "hostname": "localhost",
          "port": 25,
          "username": null,
          "password": null,
          "security": null,
          "timeout": "30 seconds"
        }
            ]
    }
  }
}
