[chef] Re: environments within nagios

[Tim Smith < >]

The nagios cookbook does per environment monitoring using Chef environments.  Instead of creating a development and production role, create a development and production environment.  Stick the nodes in the appropriate environment and then you should see isolated nagios servers that only monitor nodes in their own environment.

I've created (2) roles:

production.rb

default_attributes(
 "app_environment" => "production"

When I deployed a development nagios server, it added all the required hosts
while giving it the "development" role. However, when i deployed a production
nagios server, it ALSO added the "development" role servers. In theory, this
should be empty since I have never rolled out a client server with a
"production" role. What am I doing wrong here?

I did notice that when i did knife node edit, it shows the default environment:

{
 "name": "localhost.localdomain",
 "chef_environment": "_default",
 "normal": {
   "tags": [

   ]
 },
 "run_list": [
   "role[monitoring]",
   "role[production]",
   "role[localhost]",
   "role[base_linux]"
 ]
}
