Defined Type: apache::balancermember

Defined in:
manifests/balancermember.pp

Overview

Define Resource Type: apache::balancermember

This type will setup a balancer member inside a listening service configuration block in /etc/apache/apache.cfg on the load balancer. currently it only has the ability to specify the instance name, url and an array of options. More features can be added as needed. The best way to implement this is to export this resource for all apache balancer member servers, and then collect them on the main apache load balancer.

Requirement/Dependencies:

Currently requires the puppetlabs/concat module on the Puppet Forge and uses storeconfigs on the Puppet Master to export/collect resources from all balancer members.

Parameters

name

The title of the resource is arbitrary and only utilized in the concat fragment name.

balancer_cluster

The apache service’s instance name (or, the title of the apache::balancer resource). This must match up with a declared apache::balancer resource.

url

The url used to contact the balancer member server.

options

An array of options to be specified after the url.

Examples

Exporting the resource for a balancer member:

@@apache::balancermember { ‘apache’:

balancer_cluster => 'puppet00',
url              => "ajp://${::fqdn}:8009"
options          => ['ping=5', 'disablereuse=on', 'retry=5', 'ttl=120'],

}

Parameters:

  • balancer_cluster (Any)
  • url (Any) (defaults to: "http://${::fqdn}/")
  • options (Any) (defaults to: [])
