Chef Cookbook to set up an eventlog handler for Windows systems

Description

This cookbook installs win32-eventlog RubyGem and uses it in a report/exception handler that sends messages to Windows Event Log.

Requirements

Platform:

Windows

Tested on Windows 7. Should work anywhere the win32-eventlog gem works.

Cookbook:

chef_handler

Usage

Include recipe[eventlog] to have the gem installed, the handler library copied to the proper location and the handler set up to be used in the Chef run.

You'll probably want to modify the win32_eventlog_handler.rb to provide more detailed information.

Roadmap

Enable better logging with more informative output.
