Chef cookbook to install and configure elasticsearch-curator from version 4.

• ubuntu 16.04
• centos 7

This cookbook can be used by including elasticsearch-curator::default in your run list and settings attributes as needed. Alternatively, you can use the custom resources directly.

If you are using elasticsearch-curator < 5 you might want to use the cookbook version v0.2.8.

This cookbook ships with custom resources for install elasticsearch-curator and managing the configuration file:

Installs elasticsearch-curator. Optionally specifies a version, otherwise the latest available is installed

elasticsearch_curator_install 'curator' do
  install_method node['elasticsearch-curator']['install_method']
  action :install
end

Writes out the elasticsearch-curator configuration file.

elasticsearch_curator_config 'default' do
  config node['elasticsearch-curator']['config']
  action :configure
end

This method also supports a http_auth property to allow passing a string with this format : "username:password". This allows retrieving the credentials from the wrapper cookbook (for example using chef-vault) and not store this sensitive information in the attributes.

This will setup a cron job and create action.yaml file for elasticsearch-curator.

elasticsearch_curator_action 'action' do
  config node['elasticsearch-curator']['action_config']
  minute '0'
  hour '*'
  action :create
end

To run tests, install all dependencies with bundler:

bundle install
bundle exec cookstyle
bundle exec foodcritic .
