New proxy attribute to avoid single point of egress
The latest al-agent package supports --proxy(Linux) PROXY_URL(windows) to avoid a single point of egress. This value is optional for al-agent.
The al-agent package can be provisioned in the traditional way:
Linux:
/etc/init.d/al-agent configure --host "https://vaporator.alertlogic.com:443"
The agent package may also be provisioned using a --proxy parameter:
/etc/init.d/al-agent configure --proxy "schema://address:port" --host "https://vaporator.alertlogic.com:443"
Windows:
msiexec.exe /i 'agent package'"
The agent package may also be provisioned using a USE_PROXY parameter:
msiexec.exe /i 'agent package' USE_PROXY="schema://address:port"

Refactor cookbook for supermarket release
Plan
Alert Logic contracted with DualSpark to develop a new agent Chef recipe based on the original 0.4.0 version hosted in GitHub. All changes to date have been included in the refactored version. This work is complete and offers full Linux and Windows support following Chef development best practices. The intent is to publish the original version 0.4.0 version in Chef Supermarket to be backwards compatible with customers that do not wish to immediately upgrade and to mark the new DualSpark developed version as 1.0.2.
Benefits
The benefits of the new agent are:
- Developed following Chef recipe best practices
- Removed all inline shell calls
- Do not pass in sensor host and sensor port, unified under egress_url
- Do not pass in package version attributes, leverage the platform detection capabilities of Chef and simplify the attributes
Update Win recipe to be alike Linux
- Renamed example folder
- Updated windows recipe to be like linux cookbook
- Added style and lint tools
