Puppet Cloud Monitoring

A Puppet module to install, configure, and launch the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Agent to enable Rackspace monitoring.

For Debian/Ubuntu, this module depends on puppetlabs-apt.

Usage

You can create a monitoring instance in one of two ways:

Providing a service agent monitoring token

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
  monitoring_token => 'ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.000000'  
}

Providing your username and API key to authenticate to Rackspace (via raxmon)

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
  username => "myRackspaceUsername",
  apikey   => "myApiKey",
}

Note: If you choose this method, raxmon will be installed using Pip, and all of the nodes you wish to monitor will need to be labelled in the Rackspace dashboard with a label that matches their FQDN, otherwise, tokens will not be mapped correctly and your catalog runs will fail.
