dbforbix Cookbook

Description

Requirements

Cookbooks

The following cookbooks are dependencies for this:

• systemd - needed to install dbforbix services on systemd.

Java

This daemon needs java to work. I decided to not depend the
java cookbook on this because many people install java using other methods.

Platform

The following platforms are supported and tested:

• CentOS 7.2

Chef Server

The recommended chef version is at least >= 12.5

Usage

To use the cookbook, you can just add the default recipe to the run_list. It
will install on /opt/dbforbix and and configure the daemon and init scripts.

Attributes

Take a look at the attributes if you want to customize install location and
configuration options.

Attributes are documented on attributes/default.rb file. This way I don't need
to duplicate definitions here and there :)

Additional drivers

The recipe dbforbix::drivers contains some driver packages to download and
install. But unfortunately, dbforbix 3.x does not support loading external
jars, so the jars must be embedded in the main dbforbix\_run.jar file.

If you want additional drivers, create a custom package bundle and use it. For
example, to include the MSSQL JDBC driver, download the archive from the internet
(url is at the attributes/drivers.rb file), and repack the dbforbix_run.jar,
including the file mssql-jdbc-6.2.2.jre8.jar and modifying the manifest.
