knife scrub

Chef Knife plugin to scrub normal attributes from chef-server.

gem install knife-scrub

The only objects knife-scrub can scrub so far are normal attributes from previous roles or cookbook versions, as these might conflict with existing default attributes.

$ knife scrub attributes nagios.services

It's possible to restrict the node search to a given pattern with --query:

$ knife scrub attributes -q roles:web nagios.services

In order to just display all nodes with normal attributes, use --dry-run:

$ knife scrub attributes -d nagios.services

The usual --yes / -y flag works as well:

$ knife scrub attributes -q roles:web -y nagios.services
