Hi,
How can I check the status of a recipe on Chef server side? Whether it
is executed, failed or succeed?
I find a ticket to propose a new feature. How is it going on?
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-385
As this mail mentioned, chef’s reporting capabilities is something
need to improve.
http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2010-01/msg00030.html
2 years have passed, any progress? or new solution for this?
Thank you,
Tetsu
The first link you provide has a pull request that implements reporting to
the server. If you combine that with chef-gelf you'd have on the one hand
a quick look at the results of the latest run (from the ticket) and a
searchable history on a graylog2 server (via chef-gelf).
There's probably a better way to do this, but these seem like a pretty good
start.

This feature will be built in to Chef 11. We've resisted adopting the easy solution of shoving data in the node because 1) we don't want to take a chance on putting bogus node data on the server and screwing up search results (could happen during a failed run); 2) This doesn't scale to keeping more than one run's data, so we knew we'd need to replace it eventually anyway; and 3) knowing we'd replace it, we didn't want to offer an API around which people would build tools only to completely change it later (we've changed APIs before, but it's not something we take lightly).
What we're implementing for Chef 11 will track client runs over time, including information about which resources are updated and how.
Hope that explains things a bit.

There doesn't seem to be a roadmap for chef 0.11. Are you saying that
there's now an ETA for that release?

No ETA yet. We went over the roadmap at the Community Summit, and will have something on the interwebs soon.

I expect a major release in 3Q 2012. Reporting is on the roadmap for
completion in the first half of 2012 for completion for that major
release.
