puppet-growl

Description

A Puppet report handler for sending notifications of failed runs to growl.

Requirements

• ruby_gntp
• puppet

Installation & Usage

1. Install the ruby_gntp gem on your Puppet master

   $ sudo gem install ruby_gntp
   

2. Install puppet-growl as a module in your Puppet master's module path.

3. Update the growl_server variables in the growl.yaml file with the IP address of the host to receive the Growl notification and copy the file to /etc/puppet/. An example file is included.

4. On your Growl host enable the "Listen for incoming connections" and "Allow remote application registration" options in your Growl configuration. Ensure UDP port 9887 is open on the host and on any firewalls in between the Puppet master and the host.

5. Enable pluginsync and reports on your master and clients in puppet.conf

   [master]
   report = true
   reports = growl
   pluginsync = true
   [agent]
   report = true
   pluginsync = true
   

6. Run the Puppet client and sync the report as a plugin
