Getting it running

Code is tested on a fc20, against a remote puppetdb 2.0.0 (puppet 3.6.1) installed on a centos 6.5

  • due to the hash syntax, ruby version 1.9.3 or better is needed
  • sudo yum install gcc-c++
  • `sudo gem install execjs -v 2.0.2
    • dashing depends on this version, clashes with coffee-script, which will pull in 2.1.0)
    • if new versions are installed, use 'gem uninstall execjs' and remove a;; versions other than v2.0.2
  • sudo gem install dashing
  • sudo gem install bundler

Using the provided code

  • unpack the code
  • cd <chapter>/puppetdash
  • bundle install
  • if not running on the puppetdb
    • change all references localhost to puppetdb server host name
  • dashing start
    • A demo dashboard should be available at http://localhost:3030

Changes done to the code

  • In jobs/puppet.rb

    • convert the local time (Time.now) to UTC using the gmtime method. Timestamps are recorded in UTS in puppetdb

      utc_time = Time.now.gmtime time_past = (utc_time - 1800) ftime_now = utc_time.strftime("%FT%T") ftime_past = time_past.strftime("%FT%T")

    • Added the puppetdb variable, and adjusted the URI's.

  • in dashboard/puppet.erb

    • the widgets for the changed/pending/failed adjusted for the meter widget (were still number widget)
