Puppet and Sematext

I’ve just released a Puppet report processor for sending metrics to Sematext. The report processor sends each of the metrics generated by a Puppet run to Sematext.

You can find the code on GitHub and a module on the Forge.

There are some simple installation instructions:

1. Install the sematext-metrics gem on your Puppet master

   $ sudo gem install sematext-metrics

2. Install puppet-sematext as a module in your Puppet master’s module path.

3. Update the token variable in the sematext.yaml file with your Sematext application token and copy the file to /etc/puppet/. An example file is included.

4. Enable pluginsync and reports on your master and clients in puppet.conf

   [master]
   report = true
   reports = sematext
   pluginsync = true
   [agent]
   report = true
   pluginsync = true

5. Run the Puppet client and sync the report as a plugin.
