Craig Bryant 010a642c6d Require the user to supply Vertica JDBC jar 
Vertica JDBC jar can't be redistributed so require user to place jar
in directory where vagrant up is done. This cookbook will then
place the jar in the correct place.

Also, updated maintainer information in metadata.rb

monasca-persister cookbook

Configures and sets up the Monasca Persister

Requirements

Sysctl is required for setting os level memory limits. Additionally when using as part of a chef server it requires the hp_common_functions cookbook.

Using Vertica

If Vertica is used as the database for Monasca, the Vertica JDBC jar that matches the Vertica version must be placed in /opt/mon/vertica. The jar from Vertica will be named like vertica-jdbc-7.0.1-0.jar and must be renamed to vertica_jdbc.jar when placed in /opt/mon/vertica. You can find the Vertica JDBC jar in /opt/vertica/java on a system with the Vertica database installed. This cookbook will copy the Vertica JDBC Jar from /vagrant and place it in /opt/mon/vertica if run using Chef Solo.

Data Bags

The node[:mon_persister][:data_bag] data bag is used for all items. When used in standard chef all data bag items can have a location as the suffix and the get_data_bag_item function will pull the most specific. Item details:

  • mon_persister is needed for configuration, see the @settings usages in templates/default/persister-config.yml.erb for details
  • mon_credentials is an encrytped data bag for user/password, see the @credentials usages in templates/default/persister-config.yml.erb for details
