Trying to use a custom ohai plugin.
My run list includes the ohai cookbook at the very top. The custom plugin
drops a list of host names into an array called mongodb_replicas, as
reported by the ohai command:
“mongodb_replicas”: [
“mongo-shard1-021.test.slicetest.com”,
“mongo-shard1-022.test.slicetest.com”,
“mongo-shard1-023.test.slicetest.com”,
]
I brought up several instances and all of them failed in the template that
uses the attribute saying it was nil. However, the mongodb_replicas array
is populated when I run the ohai command. If I run the chef-client a second
time, everything is ok.
I was under the impression (and it seems to have worked this way before),
that ohai plugins where installed at the start of the chef run, and their
data should therefore be available to all recipes? Am I missing a config
option somewhere?
