Documentation
Hey,
Not really an issue, but I was wondering if you have any additional documentation on PVC?
Not quite - definitely an area which requires some attention. I also need to get the updated sources from internal repos over to here.
That would be great, do you have a basic process of how I would use this? Does it need to connect to Foreman?
There's integration with foreman's puppetrun API if you want to use that...otherwise foreman integration is not necessary.
On a puppet managed host you would deploy the pvc::agent - there's a PVC URL which is running a server which tells the pvc agent when to run puppet.
The PVC server - you can use https://github.com/johnj/pvc-server or write your own. Responses are shell variables that are handled by the pvc.sh (daemonized) process.
The goal here was to keep dependencies low and leverage "what the system already has" ... it's not as interesting as yaml, json, etc. but that wasn't a goal.
Feel free to reach out to me on skype for further help: john.juju
Hey,
Do you happen to have hangouts? I try to stay away from Skype :).
If a manifest is updated how does the agent know to run? Does the PVC server watch the puppet master?
There is a cron entry created which runs every minute as part of the pvc::ppm manifest, it collects load + passenger statistics and sends them to the PVC server. These bits are not necessary unless your puppetmasters are under severe load.
