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.

Creating and managing website and port probes

  1. The CopperEgg Cookbook contains a LightWeight Resource Provider (LWRP) for simplifying the automation of CopperEgg probes.
  2. To create a copperegg probe, you need to include something similar to the following example:
  copperegg_probe "ChefProbe2" do
    provider "copperegg_probe"
    action :update                        # update will create or update
    probe_desc 'ChefProbe2'               # the 'name' of the probe
    probe_dest "http://yoursite.com"      # the URL to test
    type 'GET'                            # the test type; in this case, an HTTP GET request
    stations ['dal','nrk']                # override the defaults and specify testing from Dallas and Fremont
  end 
  1. You can find descriptions of all required and optional fields in copperegg/resources/probe.rb.
  2. Refer to the Probe section of the CopperEgg API for further details: CopperEgg Probe API

Creating Annotations in the CopperEgg UI for chef run events.

  1. The CopperEgg Cookbook includes integration with the Chef Report and Exception Handlers. To enable this functionality:
  2. include the chef_handler cookbook from Opscode in your chef repo, and in your run list.
  3. include the recipe copperegg-handler.rb in your run list. That's it!
  4. By default, each chef run will create a annotation at copperegg only when the chef run fails.
  5. You can change this behavior by changing the [:copperegg][:annotate_chefrun_success] and [:copperegg][:annotate_chefrun_fail] attributes.
