Conformity Settings
With these properties you can control how conformity monkey operates.
This property allows the Conformity Monkey to run. The default is "true". Note that an enabled Conformity Monkey does not mean it saves the conformity check results to DB or send notifications for unconforming clusters. It must also have the leashed property set to "false".
simianarmy.conformity.enabled = true
By default Conformity Monkey wakes up and performs conformity checks, and sends notifications every hour. The properties below override the values set in simianarmy.properties.
simianarmy.scheduler.frequency = 1
simianarmy.scheduler.frequencyUnit = HOURS
simianarmy.scheduler.threads = 1
simianarmy.calendar.openHour = 0
simianarmy.calendar.closeHour = 24
simianarmy.calendar.timezone = America/Los_Angeles
####simianarmy.calendar.isMonkeyTime To ease debug/dryrun, you can set this property to true so the monkey will always be able to run. This property also overrides the value in simianarmy.properties. The default value is false.
simianarmy.calendar.isMonkeyTime = false
The properties below allow you to customize whether conformity monkey sends notifications for unconforming clusters every hour or only within a specific time window. Conformity monkey sends notifications to the owner of unconforming clusters between the open hour and close hour only. In other hours, only summary email is sent. The default setting is to always send email notifications after each run.
simianarmy.conformity.notification.openHour = 0
simianarmy.conformity.notification.closeHour = 24
This is effectively a "dryrun" option. If leashed is "true" then it will performs conformity checks for all clusters, but it will not be able to save data to DB or send notifications. The default value is "true".
simianarmy.conformity.leashed = true
This property specifies the SimpleDB domain for storing the data managed by the Conformity Monkey. The default is SIMIAN_ARMY.
simianarmy.conformity.sdb.domain = SIMIAN_ARMY
This property specifies the source email address that is used to send notifications about unconforming clusters or the summery email. Its value needs to be a valid email address.
simianarmy.conformity.notification.sourceEmail = foo@bar.com
This property specifies the email address to receive the summary email of Conformity Monkey after each run. The property value needs to be a valid email address.
simianarmy.conformity.summaryEmail.to = foo@bar.com
This property specifies the email address to receive notification about unconforming clusters when Conformity Monkey is not able to find the owner email. You can set this property to your team's email list so that your team members are able to receive Conformity Monkey notifications.
simianarmy.conformity.notification.defaultEmail = foo@bar.com
This property is for enabling the conformity rules that need to access Eureka for Conformity Monkey. By default Eureka is not enabled. You can only enable it if you have set up Eureka running otherwise you will see exceptions when Conformity Monkey tries to initialize Eureka client.
simianarmy.conformity.Eureka.enabled = false
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether there is mismatch of availability zones between any auto scaling group and its elastic load balancers in a cluster.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.SameZonesInElbAndAsg.enabled = true
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether all instances in a cluster are in required security groups.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceInSecurityGroup.enabled = true
This property specifies the required security groups in the InstanceInSecurityGroup conformity rule.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceInSecurityGroup.requiredSecurityGroups = foo, bar
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether there is any instance that is older than certain days.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceTooOld.enabled = true
This property specifies the number of days used in the InstanceInSecurityGroup, any instance that is old than this number of days is consider nonconforming.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceTooOld.instanceAgeThreshold = 180
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether your instances are in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceInVPC.enabled = true
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether all instances in the cluster have a status url defined in Discovery/Eureka. The rule is added to Conformity Monkey only when Eureka is enabled also.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceHasStatusUrl.enabled = true
This property is used to enable the conformity rule to check whether all instances in the cluster have a health check url defined in Discovery/Eureka. The rule is added to Conformity Monkey only when Eureka is enabled also.
simianarmy.conformity.rule.InstanceHasHealthCheckUrl.enabled = true
You can override a cluster's owner email by providing a property here. For example, the line below overrides the owner email of cluster foo to foo@bar.com
simianarmy.conformity.cluster.foo.ownerEmail = foo@bar.com
You can exclude specific conformity rules for a cluster using this property. For example, the line below excludes the conformity rule rule1 and rule2 on cluster foo.
simianarmy.conformity.cluster.foo.excludedRules = rule1,rule2
You can opt out a cluster completely from Conformity Monkey by using this property. After a cluster is opted out, no notification is sent for it no matter it is conforming or not. For example, the line below opts out the cluster foo.
simianarmy.conformity.cluster.foo.optedOut = true
The 'SoloInstances' cluster is a specific cluster containing all the instances that you own that are not part of an auto-scaling group. Currently the only conformity check applied to these instances is the 'InstanceInVPC' rule, however others can be modified to work against this cluster. If you wish to opt out add this property.
simianarmy.conformity.cluster.SoloInstances.optedOut = true
