DESCRIPTION:

A simple chef report handler that uses the stackdriver gem to send Chef run information to Stackdriver using custom application metrics. 3 custom metrics are created:

chef_status - 1 on success. 0 on failure. chef_run_time - Length of time for chef_run in seconds. Only sent on success. chef_resources_updated - Number of resources updated. Only sent on success.

Inspired by the Mail handler gem at http://github.com/kisoku/chef-handler-mail

USAGE:

Using /etc/chef/config.rb

require 'rubygems'
require 'chef/handler/stackdriver'

stackdriver_handler = StackDriverHandler.new
report_handlers << stackdriver_handler
exception_handlers << stackdriver_handler

Using chef_handler LWRP

chef_gem 'chef-handler-stackdriver'

chef_handler 'StackDriverHandler' do
   source 'chef/handler/stackdriver'
   arguments (
    :instance_id => node[:ec2][:instance_id],
    :stackdriver_api => node[:stackdriver][:api]
   )
   action :nothing
end.run_action(:enable)
