[chef] Re: Reporting: list of nodes with cookbook versions

[Tensibai < >]

I know no direct access from chef server to this, the way we do use is a report handler to populate a DB and then have an interface giving run details with cookbook versions.

There's an exemple ont he doc here: http://docs.chef.io/handlers.html#cookbook-versions

I did adapt an old dashboard named Cuisine (but we don't use it anymore), it's unclean code and I've not done a correct installation cookbook.  I may update it on github if you wish to have a look at it and at it's corresponding handler.

Hi,

Does chef server has capabilities to generate report of environment status? Was surprised to see it's not so easy to generate.

I'm looking to get things like list of nodes with the particular cookbook versions, for example:

cookbook     version     node        status

cb1                1.2.4          linux1      clean

cb1                1.2.4          linux5      failed

cb_base       1.0.1          linux2      failed

cb_base       1.0.1          linux4     clean

cb_base       1.0.2          linux5     clean

cb_base       1.0.2          linux6     clean

and so on

It has to be generated in shell since the web-interface is pretty much useless.

I looked at few plugins like lastrun, knife-audit but none is working with versions.

Thanks,
