7.7.2. Configuring MCollective Client

Configure the MCollective client to use ActiveMQ on Host 1.
Replace the contents of the /opt/rh/ruby193/root/etc/mcollective/client.cfg file with the following configuration. Change the setting for plugin.activemq.pool.1.host from localhost to the actual host name of Host 1, and use the same password for the MCollective user specified in /etc/activemq/activemq.xml. Also ensure that you set the password for the plugin.psk parameter, and the figures for the heartbeat parameters. This prevents any node failures when you install MCollective on a node host using Section 9.7, “Installing and Configuring MCollective on Node Hosts”. However, you can leave these as the default values: 
main_collective = mcollective
collectives = mcollective
libdir = /opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/libexec/mcollective
logger_type = console
loglevel = warn
direct_addressing = 0

# Plugins
securityprovider = psk
plugin.psk = asimplething

connector = activemq
plugin.activemq.pool.size = 1
plugin.activemq.pool.1.host = localhost
plugin.activemq.pool.1.port = 61613
plugin.activemq.pool.1.user = mcollective
plugin.activemq.pool.1.password = marionette

plugin.activemq.heartbeat_interval = 30
plugin.activemq.max_hbread_fails = 2
plugin.activemq.max_hbrlck_fails = 2

# Broker will retry ActiveMQ connection, then report error
plugin.activemq.initial_reconnect_delay = 0.1
plugin.activemq.max_reconnect_attempts = 6

# Facts
factsource = yaml
plugin.yaml = /opt/rh/ruby193/root/etc/mcollective/facts.yaml

Note

If you use the kickstart or bash script, the configure_mcollective_for_activemq_on_broker function performs these steps.
