OpenVox can generate a report after applying a catalog. This report includes events, log messages, resource statuses, and metrics and metadata about the run. OpenVox agent sends its report to an OpenVox server, and puppet apply processes its own reports.

OpenVox Server and puppet apply will handle every report with a set of report processors, configurable with the reports setting in puppet.conf. This page documents the built-in report processors.

See About Reporting for more details.

http

Send reports via HTTP or HTTPS. This report processor submits reports as POST requests to the address in the reporturl setting. When a HTTPS URL is used, the remote server must present a certificate issued by the OpenVox CA or the connection will fail validation. The body of each POST request is the YAML dump of a Puppet::Transaction::Report object, and the Content-Type is set as application/x-yaml.

log

Send all received logs to the local log destinations. Usually the log destination is syslog.

store

Store the yaml report on disk. Each host sends its report as a YAML dump and this just stores the file on disk, in the reportdir directory.

These files collect quickly – one every half hour – so it is a good idea to perform some maintenance on them if you use this report (it’s the only default report).
