Actually allow custom directory for uchiwa config. #23

Closed drpebcak closed 6 years ago

drpebcak commented 9 years ago

In the default location (when sensu and uchiwa are both installed via cookbook), uchiwa.json is unreadable because /etc/sensu is owned by sensu:sensu. This fixes that issue by placing the json file in /opt/uchiwa by default, and includes an initscript that actually honors this setting.

Configuration should not be stored in /opt/uchiwa as it's where the omnibus build is contained and changes will only persist until a newer version of Uchiwa is installed.

The uchiwa user belongs to the sensu group and should have full access to /etc/sensu/uchiwa.json.

drpebcak commented 9 years ago

@amdprophet that's a good point. uchiwa.json should be somewhere else by default, but it still doesn't make sense to keep it in /etc/sensu.

Where is the uchiwa user added to the sensu group? Default membership is in the uchiwa group, which doesn't seem to line up with the sensu group on my system.

@drpebcak currently, the rpm & deb scripts take care of adding the uchiwa user & adding it to the sensu group. This may be something that changes down the road but will require modification of the uchiwa-build repo for Uchiwa.

I'm fine with storing uchiwa.json in /etc/uchiwa but I'd like to hear @palourde & @portertech's opinion.

Just another note - we're currently refactoring the way we build Uchiwa packages. The uchiwa-build repository may be deprecated soon.

drpebcak commented 9 years ago

Hmm I'll have to look into this. The uchiwa user is not in the sensu group on my system. I'll try to see if I can replicate this.

any progress on this? I think that it should be default stored in /etc/uchiwa and stuck anywhere you want it (including /etc/sensu) though I completely agree that /opt/uchiwa is the wrong place but if someone wants to do something silly we can let them.
