knife-tagbulk
=============

A plugin for Chef::Knife that allows bulk tag operations (either creation or deletion) using standard Chef search queries

Manual installation
-------------------

Copy all .rb scripts from lib/chef/knife to your ~/.chef/plugins/knife directory.

Installation via RubyGems
-------------------------

knife-tagbulk is available on rubygems.org - if you have that source in your gemrc, you can simply use:

    gem install knife-tagbulk

What it does
------------

The plugin offers 2 actions:

* knife tag bulk create QUERY TAG1 TAG2 ...

Use `create` and specify a standard Chef query like `roles:webserver AND chef_environment:prod` and a set of space-separated
tags (like `maintenance offline`) in order to tag all nodes retrieved from the search with the specified tags.

* knife tag bulk delete QUERY TAG1 TAG2 ...

Use `delete` and specify a standard Chef query like `roles:webserver AND chef_environment:prod` and a set of space-separated
tags (like `maintenance offline`) in order to remove those tags from all nodes retrieved from the search.

Things to notice
----------------

* I am a console color freak so the plugin uses nice colors. Use --no-color to disable them!

* If you are looking for more information on the actions of the plugin, just turn on verbose output (via `-V` or `--verbose`).
