No plugins are installed inside the /usr/local/munin/lib this creates
in munin-node, nor are they symlinked into /etc/munin/plugins, so
non-default plugins are added by this.
The one complexity is that hosts_fullstack are treated differently, as
they are not currently found in the manual `hosts` list, and as such
do not get munin monitoring.
Since 9e8f1aacb3, zulip_ops machines
might have two Package declarations for `certbot`, which doesn't work
in puppet.
The fix is, as usual, to use our `zulip::safepackage` wrapper instead.
Using the `host` virtual package confused Puppet into reporting it was
doing work every time one did a puppet run, resulting in unnecessarily
spammy output.
We can't really do this in the zulip manifests (since it's sorta a
sysadmin policy decision), but these scripts can cause significant
load when Nagios logs into a server (because many of them take 50ms or
more of work to run). So we just get rid of them.
This should make it possible to use the zulip_ops base rules
successfully on chat.zulip.org. Many of the changes in this commit
are hacks and probably can be cleaned up later, but given that we plan
to drop trusty support soon, it's likely that most of them will simply
be deleted then.
This script in `zulip_ops` is handy for managing EC2 instances. It uses
`boto`, which isn't available in `trusty` for Python 3. The use of
`boto` here isn't particularly deep, so we could replace it with some
more manual HTTP calls if it comes to that. For now, just mark it to
stay on Python 2 while we move the app and all the rest of the ops code
(except this and another straggler or two) to Python 3.
Also make a comment on this package in the Puppet manifest clearer
about what it specifically refers to.
In some of these contexts, we may still be *using* the Python 2
version, but at least this should eliminate running into
`ImportError`s one by one in scripts that run outside a virtualenv,
as we update their shebangs to refer to Python 3.
Several Python libraries we use don't come in Python 3 versions on
trusty: gevent, boto, twisted, django, django-tagging, whisper.
The latter two don't come in Python 3 versions even on xenial.
So some work required before we can actually switch the code that
relies on those libraries to run as Python 3 -- probably the best
solution will be to backport them all in our apt repo. (All but
`whisper` are packaged in zesty; `whisper` upstream just grew Python 3
support this year.)
The old "zulip_internal" name was from back when Zulip, Inc. had two
distributions of Zulip, the enterprise distribution in puppet/zulip/
and the "internal" SAAS distribution in puppet/zulip_internal. I
think the name is a bit confusing in the new fully open-source Zulip
work, so we're replacing it with "zulip_ops". I don't think the new
name is perfect, but it's better.
In the following commits, we'll delete a bunch of pieces of Zulip,
Inc.'s infrastructure that don't exist anymore and thus are no longer
useful (e.g. the old Trac configuration), with the goal of cleaning
the repository of as much unnecessary content as possible.
