System Administration Tools for the ARM Build Farm
== System Administration Tools for the ARM Build Farm ==
The [[Fedora ARM build Koji Buildsystem]] or "farm " consists of 23 ARM builder systems and which will grow to 38 by the end of this semester. As it grows, the need for efficient system management tools increases. The previous semesters' students started the work of setting up ''[[http://www.nagios.org/ nagios'' ]] (monitoring) and ''[[https://fedorahosted.org/func/ func'' ]] (group control) tools.  This project involves configuring these tools to work with all of the systems in the ARM build farm, as well as setting up and configuring the ''[http://www.puppetlabs.com/ puppet'' ] (configuration management) tool.
* Maximum number of students: 2
* Skills required: Linux system administration, problem solving, documentation writing
* Resources: wiki notes from previous semesters(e.g., [[How to Setup and configure Nagios]]), [[Fedora ARM build farmKoji Buildsystem]], [[CDOT development systemsDevelopment Systems]]
* Expected result: nagios, func, and puppet working across the entire ARM build farm; documentation on how to use these tools on the farm and how to add additional devices
* Initial contacts: [[User:Chris Tyler|ctyler]], [[User:Paul.W|PaulW]]
