How to update redis config after first run?

[ifeltsweet]

Isn't breadcrumb approach only needed for sentinel config? Why is it applied for redis config too? From reading Redis documentation I thought only sentinel config is being automatically updated with current state. You also seem to say so yourself:

Redis-sentinel will write configuration and state data back into its configuration file. This creates obvious problems when that config is managed by chef. This cookbook will create the config file once, and then leave a breadcrumb that will guard against the file from being updated again.

If I am wrong and breadcrumb is needed for redis config too then what is the suggested procedure to update configuration variables after first run via this cookbook?

i've also encountered with the same problem. I was unable to update "default_settings" for redis because of .breadcrumb file.

Yes, breadcrumb should only be for sentinel. This is an error if its happening with anything else.

@brianbianco I can confirm that after chef-client run I have slave.conf.breadcrumb and sentinel.conf.breadcrumb.

I guess that this problem is because of changes in this merge request #232 (see providers/configure.rb)

How can/should I make changes to existing config now then? Is this issue being handled?

The breadcrumb is needed for both sentinel and the redis slave itself since both config's are dynamically written by sentinel. Currently i handle it by manually deleting the breadcrumb and running chef on one host at a time with the master being last.

That being said, the breadcrumb file is only needed on the redis slave if you have sentinel installed.

#318 was already created to track updating the redis config with sentinel dynamically after the initial creation without overriding the CONFIG REWRITE section

I'd like to see a fix for the breadcrumb concept. The initial PR missed updating the sentinel recipe so now I'm stuck having to manually delete this breadcrumb file in order to complete my chef run. I tested this out with even setting default['redisio']['default_settings']['breadcrumb'] to false.
