Installs and configures the Cloudkick Agent, and integrates it with Chef.

You must be running a platform supported by the Cloudkick Agent - at this time, that means Ubuntu, CentOS or Red Hat.

In order for the agent to function, you’ll need to have defined your Cloudkick API key and secret. We recommend you do this in a Role, which should also take care of applying the cloudkick::default recipe.

Assuming you name the role ‘cloudkick’, here is the required json:

{
  "name": "cloudkick",
  "chef_type": "role",
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "default_attributes": {

  },
  "description": "Configures Cloudkick",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[cloudkick]"
  ],
  "override_attributes": {
    "cloudkick": {
      "oauth_key": "YOUR KEY HERE"
      "oauth_secret": "YOUR SECRET HERE"
    }
  }
}

If you want Cloudkick installed everywhere, we recommend you just add the cloudkick attributes to a base role.
