event-reporting-handler

Chef handler to send chef run events to a http url. Also reports chef run failures to sentry.

StartHandler class requires two arguments to construct an object, a http url to send chef run events and a sentry config. The sentry config is a hash that should atleast include sentry dsn to send messages on a chef run failure.

The simplest way to use 'event-reporting-handler' is by adding 'event-reporting-handler' as start handler using chef client cookbook. For example,

node.default['chef_client']['load_gems']['sentry-raven'] = {
    :version => '0.9.4'
}
node.default['chef_client']['load_gems']['event-reporting-handler'] = {
    :require_name => 'event_reporting_handler',
    :version => '0.1.11'
}

node.default['chef_client']['config']['start_handlers'] = [
    {
        :class => "BloombergLP::EventReportingHandler::StartHandler",
        :arguments => [ { url: some_http_url, whitelist_attributes: some_attribute_whitelist }, {dsn: some_sentry_dsn }]
    }
]
