Example usage

Below are some examples for how to use this module.

Standard usage

Supply your Threat Stack deploy key, and if you choose, an array of rulesets.

class { '::threatstack':
  deploy_key    => 'MyDeployKey',
  ruleset       => ['MyRuleset']
}

Using a package mirror

If you manage your own package repository from which you deploy the agent package then supply repo_url and gpg_key.

class { '::threatstack':
  deploy_key    => 'MyDeployKey',
  ruleset       => ['MyRuleset'],
  repo_url      => 'https://my-mirror.example.com/centos-6'
  gpg_key       => 'https://my-mirror.example.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-THREATSTACK'
}

Agent installation into golden image

If installing the agent into an image that will be deployed for multiple instances, configure the class to not configure the agent while creating the image. If the agent is registered and configured in the golden image then events and alerting will not be correct.

class { '::threatstack':
  configure_agent => false,
}

Testing

Run the following to perform basic spec testing.

bundle install
bundle exec rake spec

Integration testing requires setting TS_DEPLOY_KEY in the environment to a valid key value for tests to succeed.

export TS_DEPLOY_KEY='<deploy_key>'
bundle exec kitchen test
