Puppet for windows installers at Softek
# This is the basic structure for a Windows project puppet module at Softek
# We found that the Package type as provided by Puppet was not quite sufficient for our needs.
# Instead, we transfer the file, exec msiexec when it changes (while logging install output), and then ensure the service is running.

a meta-check for sensu that creates many other checks
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# this is a special meta-check. It runs ping checks against all hosts in
# the /endpoints API and sends individual results directly to sensu-client via
# the udp/3030 client socket. this is different from the normal sensu check model
# where individual scripts run and their exit status and output is used to create
# a single event.
#
# the reason for this check is to be able to dynamically ping a list of hosts
# without the race conditions and timing issues involved with creating individual
