====================
Chef Handler to send metrics to Librato metrics!
##Description
This is a simple Chef report handler that reports status of a Chef run through librato.
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Exception+and+Report+Handlers
Requirements:
There are two ways to use Chef Handlers.
##Method 1
You can install the RubyGem ahead of time, and configure Chef to use them. To do so:
gem install chef-handler-librato
Then add to the configuration (/etc/chef/solo.rb for chef-solo or /etc/chef/client.rb for chef-client):
require "chef-handler-librato"
Configure the handler:
librato_handler = LibratoReporting.new
Arguments:
Email and Api_key arguments
librato_handler.email = "user@domain.com"
librato_handler.api_key = "667hhff544300096423345"
Add your handler:
report_handlers << librato_handler
exception_handlers << librato_handler
##Method 2
Use the chef_handler cookbook by Opscode. Create a recipe with the following:
Install the chef-handler-librato RubyGem during the compile phase
gem_package "chef-handler-librato" do
action :nothing
end.run_action(:install)
or
chef_gem "chef-handler-librato" # This workd with Chef-0.10.10 or higher
Activate the handler with the chef_handler LWRP
argument_array = [
:metric_type => "counter" ,
:email => "user@domain.com",
:api_key => "c544637891cf5498f9efac33257689rtt57777894"
]
chef_handler "LibratoReporting" do
source Gem.find_files.(chef/chef_handler_librato).first
arguments argument_array
action :nothing
end.run_action(:enable)
