How to configure this cookbook (sensu/uchiwa)?

Chef Infra (archive)
1

Hi all,

From what I can see, the default values of this cookbook is defined here:

I want to know what is the easiest way to set these settings? I basically
just want to override the login and password, so I am redundant to create a
cookbook just for it (But of course if it is the only way I am happy to do
it) .

Can I specify these properies via a databag? I read the default file and it
does not look like it uses any data bag.

My ideal solution is to be able to set the login and password in the
Vagrant file via chef-zero. e.g.

add_recipe 'uchiwa’
uchiwa.login = 'admin’
uchiwa.password = ‘password’

I am sorry for throwing this question to the list but there is not much
info in uchiwa-chef project and I am really new to the chef technology

Thanks, Tony

You would pass these as node attributes -

You can specify these as json in your vagrantfile.
It would look something like this:

chef.json = {
'uchiwa': {
'login': 'your_admin',
'password': 'your_password'
}
}
