For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules read README.usage on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Basic management¶ ↑

• Install jboss using your distro package, if available

  class { 'jboss': }

• Install the latest jboss version from upstream site

  class { 'jboss':
    install             => 'source',
  }

• Install the latest jboss version from upstream site using puppi. You will have a ‘puppi deploy jboss’ to deploy and update jboss.

  class { 'jboss':
    install             => 'puppi',
  }

• Install source from a custom url to a custom install_destination path. The following parameters apply both for “source” and “puppi” install methods. Puppi method may be used to manage deployment updates (given the $install_source is updated). By default install_source is set to upstream developer and install_destination to Web (App) server document root Pre and post installation commands may be already defined (check jboss/manifests/params.pp) override them only if needed. Url_check and url_pattern are used for application checks, if monitor is enabled. Override only if needed.

  class { 'jboss':
    install             => 'source',
    install_source      => 'http://deploy.example42.com/jboss/jboss.tar.gz',
  }

• Install Jboss 7 (by default Jboss 6 is installed) Versions 4, 5, 6, and 7 are supported for source or puppi installation (Note: Not all the combinations have been tested)

  class { 'jboss':
    install             => 'source',
    version             => '7',
  }

• Remove jboss

  class { 'jboss':
    absent => true
  }

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing jboss configuration files

  class { 'jboss':
    audit_only => true
  }

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations¶ ↑

• Use custom sources for main config file

  class { 'jboss':
    source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/wp-config.php-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/wp-config.php" ], 
  }

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

  class { 'jboss':
    source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/jboss/conf/',
    source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
  }

• Use custom template for main config file

  class { 'jboss':
    template => "example42/jboss/wp-config.php.erb",      
  }

• Automaticallly include a custom subclass

  class { "jboss:"
    my_class => 'jboss::example42',
  }

USAGE - Example42 extensions management ¶ ↑

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default) Note that this option requires the usage of Example42 puppi module

  class { 'jboss': 
    puppi    => true,
  }

• Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

  class { 'jboss':
    puppi        => true,
    puppi_helper => 'myhelper', 
  }

• Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default) This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

  class { 'jboss':
    monitor      => true,
    monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'puppi' ],
  }
