Plugin to simultaneously deploy files to a large number of platforms

lzmuda Jan 29, 2015 11:08 AM

Hi,

I'm using RHQ to monitor a lot of platforms. Usually when we want to implement new version of some app, we have to change config files on a large number of servers (jboss, tomcat, etc.) on dozen platfrorms.

So I'm wondering if exist some plugin to deploy file to remote platforms from GUI. Something like "Ant Boundle Plugin" but for files not apps.

Regards

Łukasz

Hey Lukasz,

I think deploying config files via bundles pretty much fit into your use case you can either deploy your bundle to platform resource and lay down any files anywhere (assuming agent has write permissions). What is it that prevents you using it?

Another (still bundles) way could be using Bundle Handover feature, you'd be able to reload/restart app servers using particular plugin as a part of bundle deployment without need to pass address, port and credentials via bundle input parameters, but that would require some conding in plugins.

Hey Libor,

Thanks for the reply. I think that you're right and I can use Bundles.
