mysql_config

The mysql_config resource is a wrapper around the core Chef template resource. Instead of a path parameter, it uses the instance parameter to calculate the path on the filesystem where file is rendered.

Example

mysql_config[default] do
  source 'site.cnf.erb'
  action :create
end

Parameters

• config_name - The base name of the configuration file to be rendered into the conf.d directory on disk. Defaults to the resource name.
• cookbook - The name of the cookbook to look for the template source. Defaults to nil
• group - System group for file ownership. Defaults to 'mysql'.
• instance - Name of the mysql_service instance the config is meant for. Defaults to 'default'.
• owner - System user for file ownership. Defaults to 'mysql'.
• source - Template in cookbook to be rendered.
• variables - Variables to be passed to the underlying template resource.
• version - Version of the mysql_service instance the config is meant for. Used to calculate path. Only necessary when using packages with unique configuration paths, such as RHEL Software Collections or OmniOS. Defaults to 'nil'

Actions

• :create - Renders the template to disk at a path calculated using the instance parameter.
• :delete - Deletes the file from the conf.d directory calculated using the instance parameter.
