[chef] Re: Re: environments within nagios

Thanks Tim, 

I think I drew a blank earlier. I ended up creating the actual environment and passing '-E production' during my knife bootstrap process OR just doing knife node edit and updating the environment.

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:

development.rb

name "development"
description "Nodes in the development environment."
default_attributes(
 "app_environment" => "development"



production.rb

name "production"
description "Nodes in the production environment."
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]"
 ]
}
