NAME
Csistck - Perl system consistency check framework
SYNOPSIS
use Csistck;
for my $host (qw/a b/) {
host $host => role('test');
}
host 'c' => role('test');
role 'test' =>
template(".files/test.tt", "/tmp/test", { text => "Some text here" }),
permission("/tmp/test*", mode => '0777', uid => 100, gid => 100);
check;The script can then be called directly, using command line arguements below
DESCRIPTION
Csistck is a small Perl framework for writing scripts to maintain system configuration and consistency. The focus of csistck is to stay lightweight, simple, and flexible.
EXTENDING ROLES
Roles can be defined using the role keyword syntax, however a more flexible method is to extend a new object from Csistck::Role:
use Csistck;
use base 'Csistck::Role';
sub defaults {
my $self = shift;
$self->{config} = '/etc/example.conf';
}
sub tests {
my $self = shift;
$self->add(pkg({
dpkg => 'test-server',
pkg_info => 'net-test'
}),
template('files/example.conf', $self->{config}, { example => $self });
}
1;See Csistck::Role for information on extending roles
METHODS
host($host, $checks)
Add tests to host $host test array. Tests are Csistck::Test blessed references, code references, or arrays of either. To process host tests, use check().
role($role, $checks)
Define a weak role. Constructed similar to a host check, however roles are not called directly, rather they are used to define groups of common tests that can be used by multiple hosts.
See "EXTENDING ROLES" above for an object-based style of defining roles, which allows for passing role configuration.
check($target)
Runs processing on $target. If $target is undef, then look up the system's full hostname. If $target is a string, use that string for a hostname lookup. If $target is a Csistck::Test reference, a coderef, or an arrayref, then process that object directly. This is useful for writing scripts where hostname is not important.
EXPORTED METHODS
option($name, $value)
Set option to specified value.
Available Options
pkg_type [string]
Set package type
domain_name [string]
Set default domain name to append to hosts
host($hostname, [@tests]);
Append test or array of tests to host definition.
host 'hostname' => noop(1), noop(1);
host 'hostname' => noop(0);Returns a reference to the host object.
role($rolename, [@tests]);
Append test or array of tests to role definition.
role 'test' => noop(0);
host 'hostname' => role('test');Returns a reference to the role object.
noop($return)
"No operation" test, used only for testing or placeholders.
role 'test' => noop(1);file($glob, $target)
Copy files matching file glob pattern to target directory.
role 'test' => file("lighttpd/app/*.conf", "/etc/lighttpd");template($template, $target, [%args])
Process file $template as a Template Toolkit template, output to path $target. Hashref %args is passed to the template processor.
role 'test' => template("sys/motd", "/etc/motd", { hot => 'dog' });permission($glob, %args)
Change permissions on files matching file glob pattern
role 'test' => permission("/etc/couchdb/*", {
mode => '0640',
uid => 130,
gid => 130
});script($script, [@arguments])
Call script with specified arguments
role 'test' => script("apache2/mod-check", "rewrite");pkg($package, [$type])
Check for package using system package manager. The package argument may be specified as a string, or as a hashref to specify package names for multiple package managers. The package manager will be automatically detected if no package manager is specified.
option 'pkg_type' => 'dpkg';
role 'test' =>
pkg("lighttpd", 'dpkg'),
pkg({
dpkg => 'snmp-server',
pkg_info => 'net-snmp'
});See Csistck::Test::Pkg for more information
