Overview

This module manages the QPID Dispatch Router (qdr) found at:

 http://qpid.apache.org/components/dispatch-router/

The dispatch router provides flexible and scalable interconnect between any AMQP 1.0 endpoints, whether they be clients, brokers or other AMQP-enabled services

Support is intended for Red Hat and Ubuntu OS family deployed with Pupppet V4.x

Module Description

This module sets up the installations, configuration and management of the QPID Dispatch Router (qdr) class and has a number of providers that correpsond the router configuration entities such as listeners and connectors.

This module will facilitate the deployment of a full/partial mesh topology of QPID Dispatch Routers serving as the messaging interconnect for a site.

Setup

What qdr affects

• repository files
• packages
• configuration files
• service
• configuration entities

Beginning with qdr

include '::qdr'

The default configuration currently installs Qpid-Dispatch-Router 0.6

Usage

All configuration parameters can be managed via the main qdr class.

class { '::qdr' :
  service_enable            => true,
  container_workder_threads => 4,
  listener_port             => 15672,
}
