Data Collection with a Chef High Availability Cluster¶
Important
Previous step: Setup Data Collection
To configure front-end servers in your HA cluster to send their object data, first configure a Chef server for data collection and ensure that the fqdn
field in all of your front-end Chef server /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb
files are the same.
The following example sets the fqdn
field to "my-chef-server.mycompany.com"
in two front-end servers.
chef-server.rb.FE1
# This file generated by chef-backend-ctl gen-server-config
# Modify with extreme caution.
fqdn "my-chef-server.mycompany.com"
use_chef_backend true
data_collector['root_url'] = 'https://my-automate-server.mycompany.com/data-collector/v0/'
data_collector['token'] = 'TOKEN'
chef-server.rb.FE2
# This file generated by chef-backend-ctl gen-server-config
# Modify with extreme caution.
fqdn "my-chef-server.mycompany.com"
use_chef_backend true
data_collector['root_url'] = 'https://my-automate-server.mycompany.com/data-collector/v0/'
data_collector['token'] = 'TOKEN'
Warning
Failure to set the fqdn
field to the same value will result in Chef Automate treating data from each of these front-end servers as separate Chef servers.
