Usage

There are two ways to use this cookbook: the LWRP resource or the default recipe.

default recipe:

1. include recipe[newrelic_meetme_plugin]
2. change the node['newrelic_meetme_plugin']['license'] attribute to your New Relic license key --- OR --- override the attributes on a higher level

newrelic_meetme_plugin lwrp:

The newrelic_meetme_plugin resource will install or remove the plugin and populate the config file. See test/fixtures/cookbooks/meetme_lwrp_test/recipes/install.rb for an example.

Actions

• :remove - Uninstall the meetme plugin package and remove config

Attribute parameters

• 'virtualenv' the python virtualenv to install the pip package into
• 'config_file' the path to config file. Default '/etc/newrelic/newrelic-plugin-agent.cfg'
