Question: Configuring Consul

[majormoses]

From my understanding (I could be very wrong) of having read this cookbooks recipes and resource providers it looks to me like any value that is namespaced under node['consul']['config'](as long as the provider supports it) are passed to the consul_config and consul_service provider:

https://github.com/johnbellone/consul-cookbook/blob/master/recipes/default.rb#L38-L46

I have injected a bunch of config under and it does not seem to be having any affect. Here is the chef attributes I am passing it:

chef (12.4.3)> node.consul.config
 => {"datacenter"=>"dev", "advertise_addr"=>"10.40.22.237", "client_addr"=>"0.0.0.0", "enable_debug"=>false, "log_level"=>"INFO", "node_name"=>"ip-10-40-22-237.ec2.internal", "ui_dir"=>"/srv/consul-ui/current/dist", "recursors"=>["10.40.0.2"]}

Here is the consul config that is being generated:

{
  "data_dir": "/var/lib/consul",
  "server": true,
  "bootstrap": true,
  "ports": {
    "dns": 8600,
    "http": 8500,
    "rpc": 8400,
    "serf_lan": 8301,
    "serf_wan": 8302,
    "server": 8300
  }
}

@majormoses this is how I go about it:

file node['gz-consul']['config_path'] do
  owner node['consul']['service_user']
  group node['consul']['service_group']
  mode '644'
  content lazy { JSON.pretty_generate(node['gz-consul']['config'], quirks_mode: true) }
  action node['gz-consul']['nuke'] ? :delete : :create
end

consul_service node['consul']['service_name'] do |r|
  data_dir node['gz-consul']['config']['data_dir']
  user node['consul']['service_user']
  group node['consul']['service_group']
  version node['consul']['version']
  config_file node['gz-consul']['config_path']
  node['consul']['service'].each_pair { |k, v| r.send(k, v) }
  if node['gz-consul']['nuke'] || node['is_packer']
    action [:disable]
  else
    subscribes :restart, %|file[#{node['gz-consul']['config_path']}|, :delayed unless service_status.any? { |x| [:disable].include?(x) }
    action service_status
  end
  ignore_failure true if node['gz-consul']['nuke']
end

Pretty much I generate the JSON myself and pass it to the consul_service resource.

Hopefully helps!

@scalp42 thanks let me take a crack at it.

@scalp42 thanks with a bit of modification that got me what I needed. Still having issues but I will try to see what is going on and open new issues accordingly.
