Salt Spacewalk integration reactor
This process allows you to integrate a Saltstack environment in Spacewalk.
Features
- Automatic registration of (accepted) minions in Spacewalk
- (WIP) Integration of a (minimal) part of the minion hardware inventory in Spacewalk
- (WIP) Integration of the software inventory of the minion in Spacewalk
- Integration of Salt jobs into the event history and synchronization of the action status and results
Limitations
- Events happening when the reactor is down will not be recorded
- Initiating actions from the Spacewalk user interface require additional changes in Spacewalk, which are also being done as part of the concept, but are not part of the reactor. (incl. a Java library to interact with salt-api)
Requirements
-
Run the salt-master on the Spacewalk server
-
Setup pillar data so set the default admin user and activation key for salt minions. Put the following data in /srv/pillar
top.sls
base:
'*':
- data
data.sls
spacewalk-activation-key: 1-salt-testing
spacewalk-admin-user: admin
and refresh the pillar data
$ salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar
This gives the same admin user and key for all minions. You can change top.sls to match different minion names or grains.
-
Some patches to Spacewalk to introduce a SaltJob Action type. If you use Spacewalk upstream you will need to apply these: https://gist.github.com/dmacvicar/a53e3cf972d0583ed1f0
-
Run salt-api locally in the Spacewalk so that the webapp can interact with it
Inner workings
The reactor reads events from the master in a loop. It reacts to the following events.
- minon_start
When a minion starts, it will be registered with Spacwalk if it is not already registered. A refresh of the software inventory and hardware will be done
- tag salt/job/$jobid/new
If the job was not created by the reactor itself (like hardware refresh), an action will be created, of type SaltJob
- tag salt/job/$jobid/ret/$minion
When an action is returned, if it was not created by the reactor itself, the status will be updated.
