iClassify

iClassify allows for the easy registration and classification of nodes. Most of the time, a node is a server. With iClassify:

  • Nodes register themselves with a central web service, including reporting Facter facts.
  • You can then tag those nodes, and add manual attributes.
  • You can search the nodes with a full text search engine
  • You can write recipies for icagent to auto-classify and auto-attribute your nodes.
  • You can tie it in to Puppet as an external node classification tool, enabling you to easily configure hundreds of nodes at a time.
  • You can tie it in to Capistrano, and have a dynamic ad-hoc configuration tool, see CapistranoTask.

iClassify is under development at this stage, but is in use in several different production scenarios. You can read the install instructions to get started.
