DashBoard启动默认使用WEBRcik服务器，WEBRcik服务器有助于快速运行DashBoard服务器，但性能无法进行扩展，当有大量的报告时，性能会急剧下降。这时可以使用Passenger服务器运行DashBoard。DashBoard 安装在master.test.com。并且在客户端配置文件做如下配置

 #vim /etc/puppet/puppet.conf

   [agent]

   report = true

一、安装依赖软件包

    #rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6Server/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-6-6.noarch.rpm

    #yum -y install mysql mysql-devel mysql-server ruby ruby-devel ruby-irb ruby-mysql ruby-rdoc ruby-ri rubygems

    #gem install rake

二、安装DashBoard软件包

    #yum install -y  puppet-dashboard 

三、配置DashBoard

    1创建数据库

    #vim /etc/my.cnf

     max_allowed_packet = 32M

    #service mysqld start

    #chkconfig mysqld on

    #mysql

     mysql>create database dashboard CHARACTER SET utf8;

     mysql>create user 'dashboard'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'dashboard';

     mysql>grant all privileges on dashboard.* TO 'dashboard'@'localhost';

     mysql>flush privileges;

    2修改配置文件

    #vim /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config/database.yml     

     production:

       database: dashboard

       username: dashboard

       password: dashboard

       encoding: utf8

       adapter: mysql

    #vim /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config/settings.yml

       time_zone: 'Asia/Shanghai'

    3导入数据库

    #cd /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/config

    #rake RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate

四、配置httpd passenger

    #yum install httpd mod_passenger

    #vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf  

     LoadModule passenger_module modules/mod_passenger.so

     <IfModule mod_passenger.c>

      PassengerRoot /usr/share/rubygems/gems/passenger-3.0.17

      PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby

      PassengerMaxPoolSize 6         #passenger启动的线程数，通常为cpu核心个数的1.5倍

      PassengerPoolIdleTime 40000    #passenger接受的最大请求数

      PassengerStatThrottleRate 120  #关闭空闲超过1800秒的passenger实例

      RailsAutoDetect On      

     </IfModule>

     <VirtualHost *:80>

       ServerName master.test.com

       DocumentRoot "/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/"

       <Directory "/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/public/">

          Options None

          AllowOverride AuthConfig

          Order allow,deny

          allow from all

       </Directory>

       ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/dashboard_error.log

       LogLevel warn

       CustomLog /var/log/httpd/dashboard_access.log combined

       ServerSignature On

     </VirtualHost>

    #service httpd start

    #chkconfig httpd on     

五、导入现有报告

    #cd /usr/share/puppet-dashboard

    #rake RAILS_ENV=production reports:import

六、配置实时发送报告

    #vim /etc/puppet/puppet.conf    

     reports = store,tagmail,log,puppet_dashboard,http

     reporturl = http://172.16.30.220/reports 

七、开启报告

     #rake RAILS_ENV=production jobs:work 2 &>1 &

八、访问dashboard

     http://172.16.30.220/reports
