Defined Type: apache::balancermember

Defined in:
manifests/balancermember.pp

Summary

Defines members of `mod_proxy_balancer`

Overview

Sets up a balancer member inside a listening service configuration block in the load balancer’s ‘apache.cfg`.

This type will setup a balancer member inside a listening service configuration block in /etc/apache/apache.cfg on the load balancer. Currently it only has the ability to specify the instance name, url and an array of options. More features can be added as needed. The best way to implement this is to export this resource for all apache balancer member servers, and then collect them on the main apache load balancer.

Note:

Currently requires the puppetlabs/concat module on the Puppet Forge and uses storeconfigs on the Puppet Server to export/collect resources from all balancer members.

Examples:

@@apache::balancermember { 'apache':
  balancer_cluster => 'puppet00',
  url              => "ajp://${::fqdn}:8009"
  options          => ['ping=5', 'disablereuse=on', 'retry=5', 'ttl=120'],
}

Parameters:

  • name —

    The title of the resource is arbitrary and only utilized in the concat fragment name.

  • balancer_cluster (String) —

    The apache service’s instance name (or, the title of the apache::balancer resource). This must match up with a declared apache::balancer resource.

  • url (Apache::ModProxyProtocol) (defaults to: "http://${$facts['networking']['fqdn']}/") —

    The url used to contact the balancer member server.

  • options (Array) (defaults to: []) —

    Specifies an array of [options](httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html#balancermember) after the URL, and accepts any key-value pairs available to ‘ProxyPass`.
