[chef] Re: Extracting the nodes in an environment that contain a particular cookbook

[Fabien Delpierre < >]

I can't provide specifics but this will surely do it:
https://docs.chef.io/api_chef_server.html#nodes
https://docs.chef.io/api_chef_server.html#search

I don't know if there's an efficient way of searching for a specific cookbook across the run lists of all nodes, as I've never played with Chef's REST API, but there's probably a way. It's all a bit beyond what you'd normally do within a Chef cookbook, though, at least in my opinion. What are you trying to accomplish in the end?

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone could assist me.

I've got a situation in that I'm trying to find the nodes in an environment that contain a particular cookbook in it's run list.

How would I do this without using knife? I'm going to put it into a recipe.

Many thanks
