===TCheetah===
TCheetah is a python based templating system that can be used in bcfg2. To enable TCheetah to be used in bcfg2, add the entry "Metadata,TCheetah" to the end of the plugins line in /etc/bcfg2.conf on the server. This will enable the TCheetah plugin and the Metadata plugin, which allows TCheetah to access elements of the client's Metadata.
The main purpose of TCheetah is to enable dynamic file content to be generated based off of client details, say if a particular configuration file needs a hostname. The /var/lib/bcfg2/TCheetah directory uses a similar structure to the [[#Cfg|Cfg]] plugin, and can use [[#G Files|G]] and [[#H Files|H]] files. However, the template files must be named template.
