CDIST-TYPE__XYMON_CONFIG(7)

NAME

cdist-type__xymon_config - Deploy a Xymon configuration-directory

DESCRIPTION

This cdist type deploys a full Xymon configuration directory from the files-dir to the host. This type requires an installed Xymon server, e.g. deployed by __xymon_server.

WARNING: This type _replaces_ the /etc/xymon/-directory! The previous contents is replaced/deleted!

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

confdir
    The directory in ./files/ that contains the /etc/xymon/-content to be deployed.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

owner
    passed as-is as --owner to __rsync

group
    passed as-is as --group to __rsync

OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS

rsync-opts
    identical to __rsync type, only ---options are supported

REQUIRED FILES

The directory specified by confdir has to contain a valid xymon-configuration (/etc/xymon/) _plus_ the ext/-directory that normally resides in /usr/lib/xymon/server/.

EXAMPLES

__xymon_config --confdir=xymon.example.com
# this will replace /etc/xymon/ on the target host with
# the contents from __xymon_config/files/xymon.example.com/
## the same but set ownership to `xymon:xymon` and exclude
## the `netrc`-file:
__xymon_config --confdir=xymon.example.com \
   --owner xymon --group xymon \
   --rsync-opts "exclude=netrc"
