Software and patch installation
Example for Debian:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
}
body agent control
{
environment => { "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive" };
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
# Test the simplest case -- leave everything to the yum smart manager
"match_package" slist => {
"apache2"
# "apache2-mod_php5",
# "apache2-prefork",
# "php5"
};
packages:
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => apt;
}
body package_method apt
{
any::
# ii acpi 0.09-3ubuntu1
package_changes => "bulk";
package_list_command => "/usr/bin/dpkg -l";
package_list_name_regex => "ii\s+([^\s]+).*";
package_list_version_regex => "ii\s+[^\s]+\s+([^\s]+).*";
# package_list_arch_regex => "none";
package_installed_regex => ".*"; # all reported are installed
#package_name_convention => "$(name)_$(version)_$(arch)";
package_name_convention => "$(name)";
# Use these only if not using a separate version/arch string
# package_version_regex => "";
# package_name_regex => "";
# package_arch_regex => "";
package_add_command => "/usr/bin/apt-get --yes install";
package_delete_command => "/usr/bin/apt-get --yes remove";
package_update_command => "/usr/bin/apt-get --yes dist-upgrade";
#package_verify_command => "/bin/rpm -V";
}
Examples MSI for Windows, by name:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
"match_package" slist => {
"7zip"
};
packages:
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "update",
package_select => ">=",
package_architectures => { "x86_64" },
package_version => "3.00",
package_method => msi_vmatch;
}
body package_method msi_vmatch
{
package_changes => "individual";
package_file_repositories => { "$(sys.workdir)\software_updates\windows", "s:\su" };
package_installed_regex => ".*";
package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version)-$(arch).msi";
package_add_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /i";
package_update_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /i";
package_delete_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /x";
}
Windows MSI by version:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
"match_package" slist => {
"7zip"
};
packages:
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "update",
package_select => ">=",
package_architectures => { "x86_64" },
package_version => "3.00",
package_method => msi_vmatch;
}
body package_method msi_vmatch
{
package_changes => "individual";
package_file_repositories => { "$(sys.workdir)\software_updates\windows", "s:\su" };
package_installed_regex => ".*";
package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version)-$(arch).msi";
package_add_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /i";
package_update_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /i";
package_delete_command => "\"$(sys.winsysdir)\msiexec.exe\" /qn /x";
}
Examples for solaris:
bundle agent example_using_ips_package_method
{
packages:
solaris::
"shell/zsh"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => ips;
}
bundle agent example_using_solaris_package_method
{
files:
solaris::
"/tmp/$(admin_file)"
create => "true",
edit_defaults => empty_file, # defined in stdlib
edit_line => create_solaris_admin_file; # defined in stdlib
packages:
solaris::
"SMCzlib"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => solaris( "SMCzlib",
"zlib-1.2.3-sol10-sparc-local",
"$(admin_file)");
}
bundle agent example_using_solaris_install_package_method
{
packages:
solaris::
"SMCzlib"
package_method => solaris_install("/tmp/SMCzlib.adminfile")
}
bundle agent example_using_pkgsrc_module
{
packages:
solaris::
"vim"
policy => "present",
package_module => pkgsrc;
}
Examples for yum based systems:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
inputs => { "cfengine_stdlib.cf" }
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
# Test the simplest case -- leave everything to the yum smart manager
"match_package" slist => {
"apache2",
"apache2-mod_php5",
"apache2-prefork",
"php5"
};
packages:
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => yum;
}
SuSE Linux's package manager zypper is the most powerful alternative:
body common control
{
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
inputs => { "cfengine_stdlib.cf" }
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
# Test the simplest case -- leave everything to the zypper smart manager
"match_package" slist => {
"apache2",
"apache2-mod_php5",
"apache2-prefork",
"php5"
};
packages:
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => zypper;
}
Postfix mail configuration
body common control
{
inputs => { "$(sys.libdir)/stdlib.cf" };
bundlesequence => { postfix };
}
bundle agent postfix
{
vars:
"prefix" string => "/etc";
"smtpserver" string => "localhost";
"mailrelay" string => "mailx.example.org";
files:
"$(prefix)/main.cf"
edit_line => prefix_postfix;
"$(prefix)/sasl-passwd"
create => "true",
perms => mo("0600","root"),
edit_line => append_if_no_line("$(smtpserver) _$(sys.fqhost):chmsxrcynz4etfrejizhs22");
}
bundle edit_line prefix_postfix
{
#
# Value have the form NAME = "quoted space separated list"
#
vars:
"ps[relayhost]" string => "[$(postfix.mailrelay)]:587";
"ps[mydomain]" string => "iu.hio.no";
"ps[smtp_sasl_auth_enable]" string => "yes";
"ps[smtp_sasl_password_maps]" string => "hash:/etc/postfix/sasl-passwd";
"ps[smtp_sasl_security_options]" string => "";
"ps[smtp_use_tls]" string => "yes";
"ps[default_privs]" string => "mailman";
"ps[inet_protocols]" string => "all";
"ps[inet_interfaces]" string => "127.0.0.1";
"parameter_name" slist => getindices("ps");
delete_lines:
"$(parameter_name).*";
insert_lines:
"$(parameter_name) = $(ps[$(parameter_name)])";
}
bundle edit_line AppendIfNSL(parameter)
{
insert_lines:
"$(parameter)"; # This is default
}
Set up a web server
Adapt this template to your operating system by adding multiple classes. Each web server runs something like the present module, which is entered into the bundlesequence like this:
bundle agent web_server(state)
{
vars:
"document_root" string => "/";
####################################################
# Site specific configuration - put it in this file
####################################################
"site_http_conf" string => "/home/mark/CFEngine-inputs/httpd.conf";

bundle edit_line fixapache
{

"del_modules" slist => {

}
Add software packages to the system
body common control
{
inputs => { "$(sys.libdir)/packages.cf" }
bundlesequence => { "packages" };
}
bundle agent packages
{
vars:
"match_package" slist => {
"apache2",
"apache2-mod_php5",
"apache2-prefork",
"php5"
};
packages:
solaris::
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => solaris;
redhat|SuSE::
"$(match_package)"
package_policy => "add",
package_method => yum_rpm;
methods:
# equivalent in 3.6, no OS choices
"" usebundle => ensure_present($(match_package));
}
Note you can also arrange to hide all the differences between package managers on an OS basis, but since some OSs have multiple managers, this might not be 100 percent correct.
Application baseline

Web server modules
The problem of editing the correct modules into the list of standard modules for the Apache web server. This example is based on the standard configuration deployment of SuSE Linux. Simply provide the list of modules you want and another list that you don't want.
body common control
{
inputs => { "$(sys.libdir)/stdlib.cf" };
bundlesequence => {
apache
};
}
bundle agent apache
{
files:
SuSE::
"/etc/sysconfig/apache2"
edit_line => fixapache;
}
bundle edit_line fixapache
{
vars:
"add_modules" slist => {
"dav",
"dav_fs",
"ssl",
"php5",
"dav_svn",
"xyz",
"superduper"
};
"del_modules" slist => {
"php3",
"jk",
"userdir",
"imagemap",
"alias"
};
insert_lines:
"APACHE_CONF_INCLUDE_FILES=\"/site/masterfiles/local-http.conf\"";
field_edits:
#####################################################################

# Delete module "columns" between the quoted RHS

edit_field => quoted_var($(del_modules), "delete");
# if this line already exists, edit it
}
