Overview

The zaqar module is a part of OpenStack, an effort by the OpenStack infrastructure team to provide continuous integration testing and code review for OpenStack and OpenStack community projects not part of the core software. The module its self is used to flexibly configure and manage the queue service for OpenStack.

Module Description

The zaqar module is a thorough attempt to make Puppet capable of managing the entirety of zaqar. This includes manifests to provision region specific endpoint and database connections. Types are shipped as part of the zaqar module to assist in manipulation of configuration files.

Setup

What the zaqar module affects

Zaqar, the queue service for OpenStack.

Installing zaqar

puppet module install openstack/zaqar

Beginning with zaqar

Implementation

zaqar

zaqar is a combination of Puppet manifest and ruby code to delivery configuration and extra functionality through types and providers.

Types

zaqar_config

The zaqar_config provider is a children of the ini_setting provider. It allows one to write an entry in the /etc/zaqar/zaqar.conf file.

zaqar_config { 'DEFAULT/debug' :
  value => true,
}

This will write debug=true in the [DEFAULT] section.

name

Section/setting name to manage from zaqar.conf

value

The value of the setting to be defined.

secret

Whether to hide the value from Puppet logs. Defaults to false.

ensure_absent_val

If value is equal to ensure_absent_val then the resource will behave as if ensure => absent was specified. Defaults to <SERVICE DEFAULT>

Limitations

• All the zaqar types use the CLI tools and so need to be ran on the zaqar node.

Beaker-Rspec

This module has beaker-rspec tests

To run the tests on the default vagrant node:

bundle install
bundle exec rake acceptance
