Install, configure, and launch the [Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Agent]
Puppet Cloud Monitoring
=======================

A Puppet module to install, configure, and launch the [Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Agent]
(http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/install-the-cloud-monitoring-agent)
to enable
[Rackspace monitoring](http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/monitoring/).

For Debian/Ubuntu, this module depends on
[puppetlabs-apt](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt).

You can create a monitoring instance in one of two ways: either by
providing a
[service agent monitoring token](http://docs.rackspace.com/cm/api/v1.0/cm-devguide/content/service-agent-tokens.html#service-agent-token-create-token)
like this:

Usage
-----

You can create a monitoring instance in one of two ways:

### Providing a [service agent monitoring token](http://docs.rackspace.com/cm/api/v1.0/cm-devguide/content/service-agent-tokens.html#service-agent-token-create-token)

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
monitoring_token => 'ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.000000'
}

...or by providing your username and
[API key](http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/rackspace-cloud-essentials-1-generating-your-api-key)
to authenticate to Rackspace (via
[raxmon](https://github.com/racker/rackspace-monitoring-cli)) like
this:
### Providing your username and [API key](http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/rackspace-cloud-essentials-1-generating-your-api-key) to authenticate to Rackspace (via [raxmon](https://github.com/racker/rackspace-monitoring-cli))

class { 'cloudmonitoring':
username => "myRackspaceUsername",
apikey => "myApiKey",
}


**Note:** If you choose this method, [raxmon](https://github.com/racker/rackspace-monitoring-cli) will be installed using Pip, and all of the nodes you wish to monitor will need to be labelled in the Rackspace dashboard with a label that matches their FQDN, otherwise, tokens will not be mapped correctly and your catalog runs will fail.
