Hi,
new to cfengine, I'm using cfengine 3 and I'm trying to understand how to best
organize things.
Basically, I'd like to minimize the amount of typing and stored configuration
files. I'd like to have macro groups (eg webservers, desktops, etc.) but
retaining the possibility of overriding the default configuration if a host
needs to.
My first attempt was
bundlesequence => { "@(g.commonbundles)", "$(sys.host)" };
the $(sys.host) bundle would be defined in a file called hostname.cf, and would
include all the relevant promises for the host. This is not optimal as it is a
lot of work to create and change if I need many host with the same
configuration (ie, editing n files).
So I tried with a per-host promises.cf, which would include, say
bundlesequence => { "@(g.commonbundles)", "apache", "php", "mysql" };
and then have apache.cf, php,cf, mysql,cf containing the relevant bundles. This
at least makes the bundles reusable, but still, if I have 100 machines like
that and I want to change the bundle sequence I have to edit 100 files.
What I'd really need is a sort of "bundle of bundles", so I could say (pseudo
code, obviously)
bundlesequence => { "@(g.commonbundles)", "webserver_superbundle" };
where "webswerver_superbundle" would be the list of the relevant bundles for
the webserver.
Is such a thing possible at all?
Thank you
