##Overview

Installs the mcollective-shell-agent plugin for Puppet Enterprise MCollective installs.

##Setup

###What pe_mco_shell_agent affects

  • Creates a plugin directory under MCollective's libdir:
    • PE <= 3.8 - /opt/puppet/libexec/mcollective
    • PE >= 2015.1 - /opt/puppetlabs/mcollective/plugins/
  • Restarts the service on changes

Configuration

  • Easiest setup is adding class pe_mco_shell_agent to the PE MCollective node group. The install_app and install_agent parameters can be set to either install or uninstall/not install the application and agent, respectively.

  • If setting up via code the following can be done:

To setup the MCO agent onto nodes the defaults can be used:

include pe_mco_shell_agent

or

class { 'pe_mco_shell_agent': }

To setup the MCO application on a node that has a MCO client present use:

class { 'pe_mco_shell_agent':
  install_app => true,
}

If the MCO agent is not required on the MCO client node this can be removed/not installed by:

class { 'pe_mco_shell_agent':
  install_app   => true,
  install_agent => false,
}
