NAME
reclass - command-line interface
SYNOPSIS
reclass --help
reclass [options] --inventory
reclass [options] --nodeinfo=NODENAME
DESCRIPTION
reclass is an "external node classifier" (ENC) as can be used with automation tools, such
as Puppet, Salt, and Ansible. It is also a stand-alone tool for merging data sources
recursively.
The purpose of an ENC is to allow a system administrator to maintain an inventory of nodes
to be managed, completely separately from the configuration of the automation tool.
Usually, the external node classifier completely replaces the tool-specific inventory
(such as site.pp for Puppet, ext_pillar/master_tops for Salt, or /etc/ansible/hosts).
With respect to the configuration management tool, the ENC then fulfills two jobs:
· it provides information about groups of nodes and group memberships
· it gives access to node-specific information, such as variables
reclass allows you to define your nodes through class inheritance, while always able to
override details further up the tree (i.e. in more specific nodes). Think of classes as
feature sets, as commonalities between nodes, or as tags. Add to that the ability to nest
classes (multiple inheritance is allowed, well-defined, and encouraged), and you can
assemble your infrastructure from smaller bits, eliminating duplication and exposing all
important parameters to a single location, logically organised. And if that isn't enough,
reclass lets you reference other parameters in the very hierarchy you are currently
assembling.
reclass will be used indirectly through adapters most of the time. However, there exists a
command-line interface that allows querying the database. This manual page describes this
interface.
