Chefdash: realtime DevOps dashboard

chefdash is a simple dashboard for tracking Chef runs across a cluster.

With chefdash you can:

  • Run chef-client on all nodes in a Chef environment simultaneously, or on a single node
  • View output in realtime and quickly see if any nodes failed
  • Automatically bootstrap new nodes

More features are planned:

  • Provide an alternative to the Chef Web UI JSON editor
  • Expose knife ssh functionality for arbitrary commands

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

OMG!!!!!!! Soooooo Nice!!!!!!! Great Job! I needed this........

Thanks

I tried it, but couldn't find default initial login/pass for the web UI,
and also, no matter what login/pass I typed I got "Internal Server Error"
in response.

It auths against the Chef server, so you use the same credentials you use
for the WebUI.

Should use whatever you configured inside knife. I'd verify that you can
run knife commands as the chefdash user to ensure that config is correct.

That helped me some, to know what I needed to get working but now I get a 404 ChefServerError. I was able to log out `self.url+path and it is https://api.opscode.com/organizations/[our org]/authenticate_user, which I checked with curl that the chefdash user could hit. Does anyone have any other ideas for debugging my problem? I would really like for chefdash to work for me.

Should use whatever you configured inside knife. I’d verify that you can run knife commands as the chefdash user to ensure that config is correct.

I just tried that and it still didn’t work. My stacktrace is actually a little different

It auths against the Chef server, so you use the same credentials you use for the WebUI.

I tried it, but couldn’t find default initial login/pass for the web UI, and also, no matter what login/pass I typed I got “Internal Server Error” in response.

chefdashhttp://sidebolt.github.io/chefdash/ is a simple dashboard for tracking Chef runs across a cluster.

With chefdash you can:

  • Run chef-client on all nodes in a Chef environment simultaneously, or on a single node
  • View output in realtime and quickly see if any nodes failed
  • Automatically bootstrap new nodes

More features are planned:

  • Provide an alternative to the Chef Web UI JSON editor
  • Expose knife ssh functionality for arbitrary commands

Give it a try and let me know what you think!


Best regards, Dmitriy V.

Great job!

Hi Will,

That helped me some, to know what I needed to get working but now I
get a 404 ChefServerError. I was able to log out `self.url+path and
it is Sign In - Chef Manage[our

user could hit. Does anyone have any other ideas for debugging my
problem? I would really like for chefdash to work for me.

The good news is, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

The bad news is: It is not possible for external services to use Hosted
Enterprise Chef Server password authentication.

The endpoint is locked down to only allow the webui user to run
authentication. It is possible to get this to work in EC and OSC.

Also, FWIW, the shape of the call being made doesn't look right for HEC
(assuming it were possible in the first place). Here's the right request
to send, but if you try it, you will receive a 403 even if the user and
pass are correct:

api.post("https://api.opscode.com/authenticate_user",
         {:username => "fred", :password => "123"})

Dang!! I was really wanting to use this, but thanks for the pointer. I opened an issue into the chefdash repo for support for Hosted Enterprise Chef. Is there any other good dashboards that work with Hosted Enterprise Chef?
