Medium Description
As we are developing CMDB, we see the need for a human readable description / explanation of what each variable / class means. This should map to the existing comment attribute in policy:
bundle agent host_info_report
{
vars:
"host_info_report_template"
string => "/var/cfengine/templates/example.mustache",
meta => {"inventory", "attribute_name=Report template location"},
comment => "Where the report template is found";
}
In augments / CMDB (json) it should be like this:
{
"variables": {
"host_info_report_template": {
"value": "/var/cfengine/templates/example.mustache",
"meta": [
"inventory",
"attribute_name=Report template location"
],
"comment": "Where the report template is found"
}
}
}
And the same for classes:
bundle agent bundle_for_enabling_autorun
{
classes:
"enable_autorun"
meta => { "report" },
comment => "Enables automatic evaluation of policy in the autorun directory";
}
and in JSON:
{
"classes": {
"enable_autorun": {
"meta": [
"report"
],
"comment": "Enables automatic evaluation of policy in the autorun directory"
}
}
}
