Made by Alessandro Franceschi / Lab42

Official site: www.example42.com

Official git repository: github.com/example42/puppet-tomcat

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module.

For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules read README.usage on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Basic management

  • Install tomcat with default settings

    class { "tomcat": }
  • Disable tomcat service.

    class { "tomcat":
      disable => true
    }
  • Disable tomcat service at boot time, but don’t stop if is running.

    class { "tomcat":
      disableboot => true
    }
  • Remove tomcat package

    class { "tomcat":
      absent => true
    }
  • Enable auditing without without making changes on existing tomcat configuration files

    class { "tomcat":
      audit_only => true
    }

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

    class { "tomcat":
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/tomcat/tomcat.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/tomcat/tomcat.conf" ], 
    }
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { "tomcat":
      source_dir       => "puppet:///modules/lab42/tomcat/conf/",
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  • Use custom template for main config file

    class { "tomcat":
      template => "example42/tomcat/tomcat.conf.erb",      
    }
  • Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the tomcat class

    class { "tomcat":
      template => "example42/tomcat/tomcat.conf.erb",    
      options  => {
        'LogLevel' => 'INFO',
        'UsePAM'   => 'yes',
      },
    }
  • Automaticallly include a custom subclass

    class { "tomcat:"
      my_class => 'tomcat::example42',
    }

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

  • Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default) Note that this option requires the usage of Example42 puppi module

    class { "tomcat": 
      puppi    => true,
    }
  • Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

    class { "tomcat":
      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => "myhelper", 
    }
  • Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default) This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

    class { "tomcat":
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ "nagios" , "monit" , "munin" ],
    }
  • Activate automatic firewalling This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

    class { "tomcat":       
      firewall      => true,
      firewall_tool => "iptables",
      firewall_src  => "10.42.0.0/24",
      firewall_dst  => "$ipaddress_eth0",
    }
