Chimp: a command-line tool for remote command execution using the RightScale platform The goal of the Chimp is to provide a simple command line utility for performing bulk operations on servers managed on the RightScale platform. EXAMPLE USAGE ------------- Run a RightScript on every server with a given tag: chimp --tag="service:myservice=true" --script="My RightScript" Run a RightScript on every server in an array: chimp --array=moo1:replicant81 --script='APP Rainbows' Run a shell command on servers with a specific tag: chimp --tag="service:myservice=true" --ssh="uptime" Run a report: bin/chimp --tag="service:myservice=true" --report="nickname,ip-address,tag=myservice:version" REPORTING --------- Via the --report command line option it's possible to generate a CSV report based on a tag query. Multiple fields to include in a report can be specified in a comma delimited list: chimp --report="nickname,ip-address" Would include both the server nickname and ip address to the report: server1-1.rightscale.com,192.168.0.1 server1-2.rightscale.com,192.168.0.2 server1-3.rightscale.com,192.168.0.3 server1-4.rightscale.com,192.168.0.4 Any field present on a rest_connection Server object can be queried.
